medievallassI just came back in the house after feeding the horses (Blue and Gulliver). It is a lovely night outside once again. The moon isn't quite full yet but it is very close. There aren't many stars out, but the ones that are out are very bright. I think they may be planets, like Venus, it very bright in the Summer and Spring. The moon is very bright also and it casts a shadow over everything with it's soft sliver light. I feel very tranquil when outside on nights like this. I love seeing the moonlight glossing the horses new Summer coats.
Fortunately tonight I remembered to lock them in the paddock. Yesterday I was so flustered and stressed that I forgot to. Which is a huge mistake. At this time of year the grass is really rich and if Gulliver and Blue were to eat too much of it they would become ill (fowneder/laminitus(sp)). They are fine though, and as long as I remember to lock them in they should stay well.
I thought I would write a large entry tonight, as it is most likely the most constructive thing I will be able to do tonight. I would really love to write ( a story or work on my novel), but it has been a very long hard week and my mind feels really fried. Happily though, I'm going to have some fun tomorrow, and after this past week I dare say I need/deserve it! I'm going to go to the SCA Beltane Ithra. I'm going to take a class on Medieval poisons and poison preventions. I thought this would be a good class for my personna who most likely is a leecher's (Anglo-Saxon herbalist doctor's) pupil, or at least works in a hospital helping to make herbal remandies. So I thought this would be a good class since it deals with botanicals. Unfortunately they did have a class on Anglo-Saxon medicine and charms, but it was filled by the time I was able to register for classes, major bummer! I'm also going to take a class on celtic saints, which should be really cool, and good for an early period personna too. The only thing that is a bummer is I have to be down the road ready for Alex by 7:00 am, so it's not unlike a regular school day. However, most my regular school subjects are things I don't want to be taking, Ithra classes are a lot more fun and I am highly interested in what is taught in the classes. It will be nice to see Alex again too. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow! ^_^
I've been thinking a lot about romantic relationships lately. Not really any romantic relationships I have had, but just about relationships in general and how people feel about them. Sometimes people are very strange about relationships they become majorly complexed, and dramatic, and messy. I think that is so sad when that happens. I always can't help thinking that both the people involved could do with out a relationship like that. Also another thing I have noticed is things change when you have been in a relationship with someone. I know that's old news, but no matter how good thing still are with the two of you, or how great things recover it still doesn't seem to matter. You still know that person differently, I don't know if that makes much sence. It's a sort of, I knew once this way, sort of thing. You see them with different eyes it seems like. I hope I don't sound really naive right now, I know these things, its just I haven't ever really put any hard thought to the matter.
Another thing which has stirred my thinking lately is actuly a health project, of all things. My group is researching genetic disorders, and I was reading about Cystic fibrosis. I had no idea what this disease was like and it really hit me hard how awful an ailment it is and I tried to imagine what it would be like to be living with such a sickness. (Cystic fibrosis is a disease in which the person suffers unushaly thick mucus, which affects the lungs, airways, sinus's, digestive track and other places with mucus.) It's so terrible that these poor people suffer so much. I read through some message boards on a web site concerning the disease, and cried. The young men and women with this ailment are SO VERY BRAVE! I can't imagine being so sick, and yet they manage to be up-beat still, and happy. They are living life to the fullest even though life must be hard of them. It was so sad and yet, beautiful all at once. The bravery to keep on and just enjoy life dispite it all! I had two Uncles who had Muscular Dystorphy. I never met them but my dad said they enjoyed all the things they could and that they said they would rather live a short time, than to have never lived at all. Even though I never knew my Uncles. I am very proud to be their niece, to be related to two men who were so brave. There is just something I felt was so noble in the souls of these people I read about with CF. I don't know if I could ever been so strong, I think I would crumble really, but I suppose you never know unless you are faced with something like that. I'm sorry to write about something so sad, and hope I haven't upset anyone who has read this (if anybody) I just had to get my feelings out. It really made me have a different perspective. I was all worried about silly things like school and what I'm doing when. When really life could be a lot harder for me. I feel really blessed. That's all I can say.
Well I had best get going to bed, I'm feeling pretty worn out now. I wrote this entry offline. I'm on a dial-up connection so I didn't want to block the phoneline so that my mum wouldn't be able to call if she needed to. She works a terrible shift 3:00 pm to 12:00 am. Some people might like it, but we hardly get to see her, especially Ben and Georgie since they have to be in bed early. Oh well that's life I guess. So I'm just going to give it a couple more mintues until she gets home, then I'm SO ready for bed since I'm going to be up early and out late Saturday, yay for SCA, I love it! Events make often boring weekends, filled with homework, a worth while two days off!
