Yesterday I spent the entire day in a kitchen, helping a friend prepare a feast at a small SCA event (a collegia). Sue is a great cook, and there was a lot of food left over, I shouldn't have to cook for a couple of days. It was fun, despite the dishpan hands. Now I'm a bit wiped out, yet we have an invitation to a pool party today. What to do, what to do...stay at home, rest and try to do a couple of chores? Be a tired poolside bum?
