Last weekend was Symbols 6: Moon, with all kinds of last minute preparations on the Thursday and Friday before (like making bandages, making a bag for the bandages for Matthijs, making a shawl, making a mirror for some plot of ours, making star- and moon-decorations, etc.). Which resulted in some stress.

The weekend itself was fairly relaxed, group dynamics were ok. The rain on Saturday sucked and drowned a lot of fun and play, didn't do much for my mood either. However, the Friday and Saturday night were great. On Friday night we did Varaashi's warrior initiation (the Varaashi in loin-cloth plot) and on Saturday night Odakota arranged a spiritual meeting for us with the representations of Laughing Moon, which looked great. I was so happy that I was second in line and that Taima hadn't failed her test, because seeing that you could actually fail made it a lot more exciting (read: scary).

Also on Saturday evening 'Krijsend Zwaard' and 'Boterbloem', two 'bands' that performed in the tavern during dinner. The first being a Heavy Metal band and the second being a really awful folk singer. Luckily Krijsend Zwaard got rid of Boterbloem rather fast. :-)

With both Aon and Symbols behind me I had hoped that things would quiet a little, but it is only 2 weeks now till Exodus III and there's still a lot of sewing to do. So every evening (except Monday's because I'm at Musilon then) I'm working on npc costumes.

I had hoped that Matthijs would be able to help me by cutting and pinning fabric, but he has been too busy for that. Meetings, writing a paper, theatersport, etc. So I'm working on my own. The urge to finish things before going to bed, and Matthijs coming in late at night do not help much in getting enough sleep. So that's where the 'on the edge' comes from. Stress at work doesn't help much either, so I'm on the verge of tears every now and again.
I even had to prolong my library book 2 times because there's just no time to read. :-( And I didn't practise the tin whistle for some time now.
