rowanfFriday I gave my talk on Elizabethan Seasonal Customs as planned. I had seven avatars attend each talk at noon and at 6pm. The noon talk was mostly friends from Ren Island but the 6pm talk was mostly strangers. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spikeiowa came to the noon talk and we met in Los Altos afterward for lunch at Maltby's as I just wanted to stay with the English theme. LOL Then I shopped at Draeger's and got back home to go inworld and change before the 6pm talk.
After my talk Erika & Russell & I ate of the bounty she brought from Rosine's since she had had an appointment in Monterey. So I got my German chocolate cake after all despite having not stopped for it on my last day in Monterey. Yum!
This morning we slept in and then walked over to Williams St. Park where I placed a cache. There are four benchmarks within a stone's throw of the cache and another within a block. It is a place I have thought needed a cache and in the nine months since I got the benchmarks it has remained cache free. I guess I'll find out if there is a mystery cache final there or something and that is why an almost 16 acre park has no caches.
At noonmr_kurt came by and carried me off to the Ghede & Maman Brigitte devotional. She was shadowing me before we left having last minute opinions about jewelry and such. We stopped as we often do at the corner market on 11th St. to buy sodas and I bought a V8. It was really Maman who wanted it, evidently it had a salty, thick mouthfeel that she liked. I stopped drinking it and grounded. But I was drunk with the shadowing. It is very different than having Pomba around. We arrived and eventually the devotional started and I suspect it was very nice. Highlights for me are remembering the amazing love and devotion and compassion that Maman has for Ghede and for all beings. It was a privilege to love to purely for a time. She really liked the marrow bones. And the beignets. When the ritual was over the feast began I found I wasn't hungry in the least so I suspect she ate more than I remember.
I had thought I might join Erika & Russell at BFUU for the concerts tonight but I really had no energy left.mr_kurt brought me home and tucked me in and I'm going to sleep even though it is only 8:45 by the clock (and with the change of clocks to come tonight quite early). An extended sleep sounds really good. Perhaps I will feel caught up.
