Life, Cats and Events

This summer and fall have been crazy.  I rarely talk about real life here, as I know that most of my audience came to this page for Viking research, but many still know that we had a long battle, over several years, with acromegaly in my Savannah cat, Nimar.  We lost him at the end of May (and he was a a Champion up to the end and my heart is still very sore over his loss), and shortly after got a new little Savannah girl who we named Siada.  Integrating a new kitten, plus Pennsic prep (including finishing my Beyond the Aprondress class - awanderingelf.weebly.com/blog-my-journey/beyond-the-aprondresss ), work crazies and family illness... well, that means I have been pretty busy.  (And to add to that, we are getting a second Savannah kitten tomorrow morning!)

But, I wanted to make an announcement that on Saturday, November 18, in the Barony of Stierbach, in Atlantia, at the event Holiday Faire, that I will be taking Lady Petra as an apprentice.  She is an amazing person and I very much look forward to this journey!

As for other events on the Horizon, the next one will be Æthelmearc's Kingdom 12th Night!

Library Stuff

I mentioned yesterday that I am working on a very large annotated bibliography.  Actually, it is a bit more than that even, as it will eventually need some sort of database because it breaks down the articles and books by region, timeframe and content.  But as I am doing that, I will also be doing book reviews here.  I don't know about you, but I often browse books and think "I need this one... but not just yet" and then six months later I go to make the purchase only to find out that it is no longer in print and the price on used copies has quadrupled.

My hope is that by adding book (and some article) reviews here that people can better determine what they might need "now" vs. something that they can just ILL later.  These posts will be added to a new category here titled Library.

More Cats

I also want to share that I have a second blog to chronicle my current life journey with Siada (and her new sibling), and also plan to share more details about all that we went through with Nimar with acromegaly and diabetes in the event that it can help someone else cope with the disease (and his story is included in a separate tab of the blog as well).  If you love to be overwhelmed by cat photos and cat advice, you can find that blog by clicking the image below!
