shadowsong: (Default)
well, i got sleep last night. but that means i have tonight and tomorrow to make a cotehardie, a jerkin, and a tunic. and pack everything. ack. the rest of the doublet will be handsewn, cause everything i have left to sew is 8-10 layers of canvas thick. my sewing machine is not very happy with me.

the stuff i'm doing at work has several steps in the process. i finished the mail room stuff, and now i'm keying, data entry stuff. the next step is verification (making sure the keyers weren't on crack), which most people have moved on to, but they haven't trained me for it yet cause i'm not going to be here next week so i'd just forget the training. so i'm still keying. but we're running out of stuff to key, so my boss essentially told me to slack off. :)

i tried calling andy again, but no one picked up. i haven't heard anything from him since wednesday night, when he signed off without saying anything. it's probably no big deal, just coincidence, but i wish i knew what he was doing, *how* he was doing.... i'll be gone all next week, and then i'm leaving the 30th of june.... i want to talk to him, and see him, as much as possible before then, but he seems to have vanished. :(

i've had this song stuck in my head all morning, and it was making me kinda sad (not unhappy, just sad) thinking of how soon it will describe how i feel about troupe:

it's good to be back after so many years
all of the laughter and all of the tears
come rushing to meet me as i open the door
but those days are no more

i guess it's been empty since i moved away
i haven't been back till i came here today
the memories were just too hard for a while
but now i just have to smile

do you remember november,
the fire burning bright
we curled up beside it
through the cold windy night
we felt so contented and warm
and we weathered the storm

now the roof's leaking, the wind blows inside
flames in the fireplace long since have died
the windows are broken, there's dust on the floor
it's not my home any more

i don't want back my yesterdays
i know we're better off this way
this is just a song to say
i thought of you today

troupe will, of course, keep going strong without me, so instead of wearing out like a house, it will have moved on - if this song talked about someone else having moved into his old house, it would fit perfectly. but it just made me think.... i like the last stanza.

so, yeah... i get to go to pennsic! yay! ...i have to finish sewing and packing for pennsic! ::twitch:: ::fall over::
