Learned

Breathing RennFaire dust makes me sick and steals my voice.

Coffee in the morning is great, especially when my roommates make it and it's waiting for me when I wake up.

Birthday cupcakes make good breakfast.

It's ok to do some laundry, put away clean dishes, pay some bills, and vacuum a little on your birthday. Sometimes these things need to be done.

A text message at 00:00 will wake me up even through the sleep-inducing power of Target brand Nyquil.

I can make a burnoose-style cloak in a couple hours without a pattern.

Rain today will help keep the dust down on Saturday.

I think there will be more to follow....
