stitchwhichI'm developing a technicolor knee. Fighter-types should be familiar with the phenomenon. The underlying bruising is starting to show through the swelling. Oddly, it's in four different places around my knee with clear skin tones between. I would have thought it would have all come up as one big bruise.
I smacked it a good one on the kitchen table leg earlier today. Applied Motrin and a long nap and now it feels like yesterday's owie - still walking, just with a return to *list* *roll* *list* *roll*... (Pippa, I put that in for you!)
I'm not so damaged that I can't load the car by myself for tomorrow's event. Bossman went and helped with set-up at the site and wouldn't you know it, re-injured the overworked muscles in his chest and arm that he HAD been healing. So I lolly-gagged around this evening until after he headed for bed (he helped me put the pieces of the benches in the car) and now that he is safely asleep, I'll load up all the supplies myself. He's done enough physical work for the day! or the weekend, for that matter.
Clear. Nearly windless. 56(f)... it's going to be prime fighting weather tomorrow.
I've got a good supply of hot beverages (teas, instant chai, coffee, and cocoa) with sweeteners and creamers, as well as a goodly stock of tomato soup (Yes, it's Campbell's. I'm going for 'reminds me of being a kid' comfort food here) with milk for those who like it mixed, and disposable cups to serve it in. I dislike the disposable cups but there isn't any really good way to give someone a cup of soup without them... I am not also setting up a dishwashing station in the baronial pavilion on the side of the List field. And yeah, I know tomato soup is in no way a period dish. It is one of the only modern food concessions I will make - the electrolytes and warming ability of it (and universality) make it better to offer than anything else I know of. Besides, thanks to Brandwyn, it's a Marinus tradition.
