Be Careful What You Wish For

 Today we moved Sassy and Nuggles to our new place. It was the longest drive that I have done at the legal speed limit. It took the same amount of time but Sassy's driving tip didn't help.

Were moving, just too many things are not going to let us stay. I am going to miss this place it was very good to us. With every thing going up except my pay. We can no longer afford our apartment. 

I am looking for any beekeepers who have beeswax to sell. I  will clean it myself I am not that picky. Most of the beekeepers that I know are mostly wiped out for this year. Infected hives, late killer frosts,cost of fuel, Idiots with etc... I am in need of beeswax and prefer to by from beekeeepers. I am in Western Washington.  Any lead will be helpful.

A sad note  my beekeeper may have to retire. This spring's weather wiped out most of family farms he serves. He has NO HONEY and It looks like he might not this year. Most of the other beekeepers I have talked to are also having a very hard time. The price of fuel, the cold snap, and the price of honey have taken there toll. I hope to be able to stock up on beeswax, before he retires. I hope he doesn't It is getting harder to find beekeepers.

 Fun month April

Well it was my first day back and what a day. My Admin. was replaced and anumber of people are no longer there.

 I have been sick and life has been serving all it can dish out buffet. I now have a rotational work schedule. So I now work 4 days then have 2 days off. With the other two bath aids we have lost one day of work a week each. But we have also lost a day of customers who do not get served. WHOOOPS I am glad I didn't come up with this one.

Huh? Wha Happened? WTF?! What was in that Punch?
 

      Well I am now 42. Where has my life gone? I am now answer to ...well you know. It is one more day to Antir Kingdom  Arts and Sciences. I am going to watch, I am not ready for it this year.
Norwescon is six days away. Running Lazer Tag for Three Nights Is going to take alot from me. I have the gear gathered and mostly loaded to go. My batteries are just gotten from Costco, $100 worth. My coffee supply is two flats of Starbuck's Mochas. I just might stand a chance. I can have 26 people playing at one time with the Star Wars style blasters with 10 more using the B5 pistols. I need more room, last year  the waiting line was more than 30 deep. This year the waiting area is outside the room this gives us an extra 220 sq feet of playing space. Next year I hope to get a larger playing area.

      I could not believe the news that Gary Gygax is gone. This man  who's game of D&D changed my life is no longer with us. I remember learning D&D in 1977, then AD&D in 1979. I played regularly until 1989 -1990.  Other things in my life made it hard to find a game to join. I do miss playing and I wish to say Thank you for such an event in my life. Rest well Gary.

 Yesterday I was at a SCA Candlemas event. I was roped into an arts and science challenge.  I did a candle making and history of candle making ,I did pretty well. Afterwards I was approached by one of leads in arts & sciencesand was asked if I needed an A&S mentor. She wasempressed by my work and was glad that new talent was in the SCA. I explained that I had been in the SCA for 14 years and I had been candle making since the 1970s. Her response was where was hidding. I demo on merchants row

     Today marks my eighteenth year as a nursing aid. I took this job just to pay my bills  untill I could move up.  Since that time I was recalled to military service on and off .  I have seen some changes in the work place but not much.

What a day . It was great but I am pooped. The SCA group made alot of candles. I need more beeswax and wick.

 Well today is the day that Kate and I were to teach candle making to some of our fellow SCA members. Kate had a family situation crop up and I am now the teacher. I should be ok I got the beeswax, the wick, the melting pots, the directions to get to the place, books to back up my knowledge, my love, my sanity....  Well 6 out of 7 is not bad.

 lazer tag lives. yes I got the orders for the supplies of glow sticks,  guns and badges. Now the other stuff.

    Well the candle making class that I was co teaching has now become all mine. Kate cannot show due to family situation. Now I am the only one who will be teaching (YIPE!). I hope I have enough beeswax? 

 Well I am starting a new candle project. I just got 28# of beeswax from my beekeeper. I now must clean it . That will take a while in the meanwhile the smell of the honey in the beeswax will be some thing else. The honey that I picked up at the same time is calling to me. Raw honey has so much more flavor that the blended honey at the store. Yum :)      Belch :O   Excuse me :)

 Happy holidays to all.  Well I am getting ready to teach a candle making class. I still need to get more beeswax for the class. Hopefully Harvard will be able to have some.

 I'm cheesed I just received my ink set of 4 inks and a glass pen from Ebay. It was loosely packed in a shoe box. :-(  .  The pen was broken  :(  as well as one bottle of ink  :( .  I am now waiting for an explanation of this FUBAR!!!!! And I had such a nice day at work too. :-(

  I was chewed out today by my 4 corporate dingle twats. For what my co worker had done. My injured co worker has returned to work but was not informed about the changes that has happened in the last month. Apparently I was to update her. I didn't know she was back until today. By the way she came back on monday.
    I was also had  to work as a nursing aide on monday. I am now being charged for abandonment by not doing my regular job at the same time. No one told me that I am not personally responsible for ever screw up in the facilitiy for the week. Friday I am to face the corprorate auditors to see what charges will be filed.
