Time Taken: June 2008
Today was the first day of the Renaissance Festival I work at, and like every first day, it wiped me out.
It’s nothing too serious, just a whole bunch of muscles having to work in ways they haven’t seen in 10 months. So I’m sore in all sorts of odd spots, and the bottoms of my feet hurt. The muscles will regain their tone shortly, and the feet will regain some callus to protect them, so I’ll be just fine soon. But today, I hurt.
Doesn’t help that I’m pretty sure I got a bit too much sunlight today. I can handle small doses, such as what you find in the shade, but it was a clear blue sky all day long and I couldn’t always get completely out of the direct sunlight. I’m feeling the effects of a minor sun overdose, aka a general lethargy, a mild headache, and a strong lack of anything even vaguely resembling motivation. It’s amazing I’m even getting around to getting this blog up. I was strongly considering just going to bed and getting to it in the morning.
But aside from that, it was a rather good day overall at the Renn Fest. Nothing overly special happened, and I chatted with a bunch of people I hadn’t seen for months. Oh, and I saw several butterflies! One was pretty much pure black, while the other one was yellow and black stripes. Fairly common butterflies for the region, really, but even the common butterflies I don’t see that often. So it’s still a treat!
