What a horribly disappointing weekend! I spent all but part of Sunday night(The party I was so looking forward to) and Monday about two hours before closing, in bed with a nasty case of bronchitis. I was miserable and lonely and missed out on the closing weekend of Faire.

Being one of those people who really look as sick as they are, I was ordered by the Captain to stand down my duties and stay in bed.  I missed seeing most of my friends and all the closing acts of my favorite performers. I was heartbroken and at one point, as a result of my fever and my feeling a wee bit sorry for myself, spent the better part of Monday afternoon in tears.

I came out of the pavilion about 4:00 Monday afternoon, when The Baron and Baroness of Kornenberg came by for a presentation by the Captain and a rousing game of Baubling. All too soon it was time for closing guns and suddenly it was all over! I was so depressed and despondent, the Captein was slightly worried about me as were the rest of my friends.  Tuesday was worse, as we got up, and our little village was deserted. It was VERY eerie and not a little unlike an episode of Star Trek where aliens come and take away all the people of a town and all that is left are the buildings.

Sorry, not meaning to be so down, but I looked forward so much to this weekend, and I won't see my friends until autumn, and that seems like a very long time from now.  On the positive side, I have time and my life back and can get my life back to relative normal.

Last Weekend of Faire...I have mixed emotions! On one hand I can't wait to have my weekends back and not be so tired during the week as I prepare for the weekend.On the other hand, I'm going to miss all the friends I have made(although I will see them in the autumn at the next Faire for Crossroads.) I'll miss the music, the silliness, the parties, and fun. I'll miss the exhilaration of the cannons going off, especially opening (If we have to be up...so does everybody else. <Grin>!) and closing guns.  I WON'T miss the humidity and the bugs!

We are hosting a blowout party on Sunday, and I hope it turns out well. Weenie roast, humburger fry and s'mores! Cool!! I love Faire and I love the the people who work Faires. I have formed some dear friendships that I know will last beyond the gates of Koronenberg. That is the best gift of all!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. (I know I will, I don't have to be to work until Wednesday...now if only today will fly by...sigh) Happy Memorial Day!

Huzzah for Fridays! Another week over and another weekend at faire. I am feeling so much better and what a difference it makes in my outlook! Here is hoping everyone has a safe and happy weekend!

Okay! It's been a rough couple of weeks, we are computerless for a while(Shhhhh....I'm doing this at work!) Life has been hectic and I feel as if I'm just this side of losing it. I know it will get better(This too shall pass!), but it has been a long haul and I'm ready for some good to happen.

Faire is still great! It is the only thing making me happy and keeping me sane right now...being with my Pirate family. 3 more weeks of Corona, then a long break...and we will all need it!

Oh well, back to work(shhhh!)

Bright Blessings,
