An Adventure

Yes, yes, the Crone will be going on an adventure at the beginning of October.

I've decided that much of my so called depression (read: Lack of enthusiasm for anything!) is because I don't get out enough. I have nothing to do beyond my house and have not for over 4  years.
How boring can you get?

(And this makes me dislike the dementor even more most days..soooo)
I'm going on an Adventure!

A little history..many years ago, pre-dementor, I belonged to a medieval recreation group known as the ECS. It was a blast, and I LOVED it. However, others in the group didn't want to 'work' toward the group, so all the 'jobs' to keep the group running were laid upon my shoulders, and my 'hobby' became more like a job. So..I bowed out. I quit. I gave it up. I missed it.

(Fast forward about 8-10 years.)

One of my best and oldest friends (1 of 5) is in the SCA. (a medieval recreation group)
For weeks now she's been hinting that I should go with them to their next event (a big one) at the beginning of October..for almost a week, Camping.
Medieval style.

I accepted.

Dementor has said nothing about me going, no yes, no 'nay'..he just knows I'm going. Of course, I didn't ask permission..I just said "I'm going."
I'll be able to get out, and possibly get a hobby beyond these 4 walls.
This is a good thing.
Down the road, should the dementor like go and see what the deal is, I'd be more then happy to say "go with me".
(Because I think much of his problem is there is nothing for him beyond work and home either.)

(still no reason to be a dementor, but hey..to each his own)

Now, going to a medieval event means you have to dress 'in period' or as someone from the middle ages.
(Since loosing all my original 'stuff' in a house fire...)
I've been cutting patterns and material for a few days now to sew the clothes I'll need.
I was surprised yesterday when dementor came in from work  (I was busy cutting patterns and material) and there was no dinner prepared... he was not in the least bit upset.


Matter of fact, at about 7 o'clock pm he said "Why don't you take a break..I can see it's hurting your back to do all that cutting..and I know how focused you get when you start something."  ..............

(WOW! Did I just hear compassion? Gentleness? Concern?)

Maybe the fact that I am doing something beyond the scope of home and without the dementor (which is pretty normal actually) has opened his eyes a bit, to the fact that I can LIVE  beyond the great HIM?..WTH?

We shall see.
