lenora_roseThe eyepatch and steri-strips came off yesterday, which is good, as it did mean I could go to archery. The cut is hard to see on a casual look, because of how the lid folds, but it's not too hard for me to display it; it doesn't take much more than closing my eye long enough to let a person focus on it. In some ways it hurts more; the gaping is closed but it's puckered and it will scar, and now it's exposed to air and rubbing. And it's obvious now that some of the ache is from most of the weight of a cat landing hard on my eye, not just eyestrain, even if there's scarce any obvious bruising. Ah well, I will take it over having the patch blocking my sight and the strain on the other eye, any day. It heals, I can function. And See. That's kind of useful.
But mostly I've been busy with things like, let's see; my brother's return to Winnipeg on Sunday (Whee!) which also involved stopping at Abacchus and _aura_'s for pot luck (Colin made a *turkey*) and to teach mom how to play Munchkin. Also to give mom her birthday gifts.
Yesterday was Colin';s birthday, but not terribly celebrative; we went to archery and not much else. A lot of people who don't always show up made it, though, so much fun was had. Also, someone else on the range had a crossbow; at least one of our members actually got to try it out. And was doing much promoting of the SCA, since the guy with the crossbow, barely more than a teen, was exactly the kind of person tog et interested in heavy fighting.
Tonight, Colin and I went to The Garwood Grill, which I found indifferent, as an anniversary dinner. Then went to hang out with tiene, her husband, and Brannie and not her husband, and ended up playing Munchkin Cthulhu, while some other, unexpected guests played Rock Star in the background. (It makes marginally more sense to me than Guitar Hero; the drummer is at least learning a skill actually relevant to drumming. I still think neither makes half the sense of DDR, which may not teach you much about dancing, but gives you exercise and rhythm sense.)
Tomorrow is the Nightwish concert. We're trying to go in a group; Jeff and I, Brannie and Dan, and Tomaas and his brother. And maybe others if i hear from them.
