So, I've been sick as hell with this demon flu, and haven't felt like talking or writing or anything. I'm finally coming out of it, I felt mostly me this morning, though I was fatigued again by early afternoon. Ugh. At any rate, I'm starting to think ahead to tourney season and invariably, my thoughts go to garb. I'm really needing to go simple-ish and I'd like to finally jump on the Rus Viking wagon. The clothes are looser and more comfortable and dammit, I look good in temple rings. But as always, I don't sew. So I'm looking around, asking if anyone is taking commissions for garb. I have linen already, and I'm totally down to pay someone to make me a couple tunics/ gowns, and maybe a caftan if I can get some wool. But it's like crickets. I'm totally willing to throw money at my problem, and no one wants to bite?? I'm just really frustrated. I'd like it to be someone in our Kingdom where I can do fittings, but it's looking like I have to start looking for someone OOK, and even then I don't know if I can find someone. Those tunic/ gowns are pretty simple, aren't they? Not like I'm asking for a full Elizabethan gown or anything.

I'm just tired still, and I wouldn't say I'm cranky, but I'm... meh. I want to go to bed and it's barely 9:00p. I have to get up way early (for me) and take AJ to the doctor for his ankle check-up, and it's going to be pouring and I'm worried how me -- weakling me -- is gonna handle getting him in and out of the car. AND I'm driving his Lexus and he's going to be critical of everything I do. Sigh. Take your evening meds, Cat, and go to bed.

There's a gazillion names of people who I recognize from the old LJ days but it seems like the majority haven't done journaling in yeeeears. Who still uses this format? I wonder whether it will pick up again as people bail on FB? Also, I'm a little confused-- I am seeing accounts that say they are LJ but here on DW? I know the platform is the same, but are they actually connected? I are confoosed.

And now to learn how to fly this thing again. I foresee much tinkering tonight.
