suck

I am very tired, it's not cleaned yet and I can't remmeber who I lent 10th Kingdom to - I haven't had it for a year or so and I want to watch it again!

A milestone

Today I made my first recommendation for an award in the SCA (principality level). It's probably something you people do all the time, but for me it signifies a greater involvement in SCA from my side. There are other ways my involvment is increasing: I've started posting on the forum and I plan to go to more events (but it is a bit difficult when your husband works every second weekend and you have a four-year-old and arthritis on top of that; I can't bring Maja along if I go by myself, it would be too taxing) and I even made a pair of hand sewn woollen stocking and fingerloop-braided garters for the princess of Nordmark, since it seemed like she needed period footwear (emoni made shoes for her).
But this feels bigger in a way, because I really am nobody in the SCA (I am a nobody, I just happen to know a lot of important people because I'm old enough and have sort of been around for 15 years) and making a recommendation sort of means that I think those who have the power would have any interest in my opinion.

I have been thinking about doing this for a while and a friend's post prompted me to do it; though the post didn't concern the same level it still reminded me that we have the obligation to help people's work become visible, since the coronets and crowns really can't see everything.
