Yet another prep for Pennsic crossed off the list.

Went to the eye doctor's today, and I am now sitting in front of my computer with my first set of contacts in almost 8 years. It's very cool. I'd forgotten how clear peripheral vision looks.

Got contacts because now I'm authorized in schlager, and I'm not comfortable fencing with my glasses on. Foil/Epee shot to the face mask with glasses? No problem. Schlager shot to the face mask with glasses? Um, no. Sorry.

And my eye doctor was nice enough to give me an extra set of free contacts, just to make sure I had enough to get me through Pennsic! Yay!

So today at work, my goals are thus:

- Finish pouch for gold/blue dress
- Finish neckline for gold/blue dress
- Add trim to gold/blue dress
- Write up packing list for Pennsic
- Finish Chapter 5 of Seasons

Still no I/R receiver. *grump*

However, my new CD shipped! Got "Ireland by Sail" by Northeast Winds - LOVE this group! My folks used to take us to see Allan, Emery, Paula and Taylor when we were younger - they've since broken up, but I still have fond memories of going to outdoor concerts and hearing them. I can't wait for this to come in!

Updates later.

WTF is going on with LJ today???

Anyone else having problems?

Big Changes in Red Sox Nation.

Wow. Thanks to zombiegoat for alerting me to all the changes Theo is making!

First, Kason Gabbard has gone to the Rangers in return for Eric Gagne. This gives Tito the chance to make Papelbon a starter if needed. I'm sad to see Kason go, but it will be cool to see how he does out of the media bearpit that is Boston. Good luck to you, Kason!

Second, Joel Pinero is gone too, sent to the Cardinels for a player to be named later. Hmm, wonder who on the Cards team Theo has his eye on?

And finally, in a bizarre move, the Evil Empire gets another hitter for a reliever. What is going on? Um, they're HITTING, they aren't getting PITCHING, so let's get another HITTER and trade Scott Proctor! Yeah. Brilliant. I think Cashman's finally lost it.

So sayeth I. *grin* I'll shut up now.

Edit: Well, well. Gagne's going to be Jonathan's set-up man and backup. How very interesting.

This is cool.

Sorry for all the posts today, but this is just too cool not to share.

Can you even imagine?
