Speaking of knights, I went to the SCA tournament this last weekend; I won 7 of 9 bouts, which put me at third place. As this was a pirate revel, and I didn't say, "avast ye landlubber, I'll send ye to Davy Jones' locker" while I was saluting and killing my opponents, I won no extra points piratical---but I was not unhappy with my fighting performance, especially as I hadn't put my SCA armor on for a year. I took care of a few ugly honor duels, served the High Table, and swore appropriate fealty. After leaving the event, I was interviewed, and interviewed, for a position of honor with a Lady. It seemed to go well; much information was exchanged and much clarity was achieved. It was a promising start, and will lead to continued talking. Said lady gifted me with her favour, to be worn on the field of battle, after much more gentle talking and discussion of what her favour means. I've not worn a Lady's favour in years, and I am unsure she knows what she gifted me.
I am still planning on moving and selling the Sanctum Sanctorum by the end of next month, and I continue to pack my possessions into carefully labeled and master-listed boxes.
My work pressure has backed off a bit, as I have become more careful and guarded around People Of Low Esteem And Motivation who are threatened by power/control dynamics, and I have become very careful to document exactly what I do (thank you, R. Moran). My clients are all still alive and mostly doing well. The office really had to struggle to come up with several poor examples of how I intimidate them, and I really ended up just feeling sorry for what's gong on in their lives, as well as learning how to not come across as threatening when they've done something wrong. Stay? Maybe. I've checking into options; I think they are unknowing how poorly they handled this and how much of my loyalty they have lost.
Karatedo is still a major focus in my life, although there are no plans for a promotion anytime soon.
My clients, dissertation, packing boxes, and karatedo will consume my time for the next week. Then? Riding season, Beltane, new and different weapons, and new armour. Oh, and finding a new place to live.
