[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:07:58 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Hi y'all.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:08:01 PM EST] <oyarsa> hi shiral
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:08:01 PM EST] <derynifank> Laurna has now become the person to go to with any questions about what characters should be wearing
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:08:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hello and happy Winter-solstice Eve
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:08:10 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi shiral
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:08:14 PM EST] <KK> I thought the one on period wedding gowns was nice, too. Don't know if you get commissions for same, but it's interesting, in any7 case.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:08:31 PM EST] <KK> I used it when I was making my wedding gown.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:08:41 PM EST] <The_Bee> Who'se wearing victorian gowns?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:08:41 PM EST] <Laurna> I see that one. I will look through it. Oh nice
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:08:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Shiral and WindyCat!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:09:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi DR
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:09:14 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys says hi, and apparently supper was insufficient, LOL.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:09:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi WindyCat
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:09:36 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi Carys. Is mom not feeding you enough?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:09:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Tell her she must absolutely complain to management
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:09:43 PM EST] <Laurna> I just opened up a tappist monestary fruit cake. Yumm, the best
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:09:45 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Hi DR, hi Shiral. 👋
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:09:58 PM EST] <oyarsa> hi windycat
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:09:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is supper ever sufficient for a cat?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:10:30 PM EST] <derynifank> Did you get snow from the last storm KK?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:10:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I just took some gingerbread out of the oven
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:10:43 PM EST] <The_Bee> ?me has fiddle music playing in the background.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:11:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Do Tappist monks tapdance as well as bake?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:11:25 PM EST] <oyarsa> lol
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:11:27 PM EST] <KK> Yes, we got snow. And a fair amount of sleet, that mostly turned the snow to ice. It's still going away.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:11:46 PM EST] <The_Bee> Lots of snow, black ice.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:11:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hey
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:11:58 PM EST] <KK> I have baroque music in the background tonight. Rediscovered Pandora.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:11:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Bethane
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:12:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hey Bethane
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:12:09 PM EST] <oyarsa> hi bethane

[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:12:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:12:52 PM EST] <derynifank> Hi Jerusha
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:12:53 PM EST] <The_Bee> going for baroque, KK?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:12:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hi Shiraz, Bee, oyarsa, dfk
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:12:58 PM EST] <Laurna> Hello Jerusha, an Bethane
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:13:01 PM EST] <KK> Hi, Jerusha and Bethane.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:13:02 PM EST] <oyarsa> hi jerusha
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:13:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello Jerusalem
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:13:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Oh my, I've been turned into wine!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:13:19 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I have Alexa playing classical Christmas music..
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:13:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello Laurna and kk
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:13:34 PM EST] <Laurna> So how much snow is everyone dealing with?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:13:59 PM EST] * The_Bee takes a long sip of Shiral.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Not much where I am
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:05 PM EST] <derynifank> We just got cold rain.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:07 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> No snow here. 😭
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We get a little bit more every day
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:14 PM EST] <KK> We had about 3-4 inches, plus the sleet on top. I put the car in the garage for the event.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Maybe I should mull myself. 😉
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Good plan
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:28 PM EST] <The_Bee> snow on the ground, not in the air
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:29 PM EST] <Laurna> That is good.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hi Jerusha and Bethane.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hello dr
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hi DR
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> snow on the ground, not in the air
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:14:54 PM EST] <KK> When it turns to ice, that's when it gets really treacherous.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:15:02 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yeah, so I hear.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:15:11 PM EST] <derynifank> Ice is really scary
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:15:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> There is a notable lack of snow where I am.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:15:17 PM EST] * oyarsa is currently on i-80 eastbound between omaha and des moines but has the magic of technology to be here too
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:15:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Maybe even the weather is trying to convince people to stay home.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:15:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Drive safely!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:15:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> It's been chilly down here, and it's been raining today (would gladly ship the rain to California if I could).
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:15:56 PM EST] <oyarsa> most of the snow we got last week is melted or melting
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:16:00 PM EST] <derynifank> Wow. That is some technology. Be careful driving
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:16:06 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Been chilly at least for us, but no snow
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:16:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I can send you a bunch of snow if you want it
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:16:34 PM EST] <oyarsa> i'm not doing the driving
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:16:52 PM EST] <The_Bee> That's good.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:17:08 PM EST] <DesertRose> Florida has gotten quite enough rain this year. Even for a place that's the natural home of humidity, it's been a lot.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:17:11 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> The post office is overwhelmed with trying to get people's Christmas packages to them, so you can keep the snow for now, Jerusha2
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:17:12 PM EST] <Laurna> oh that is good Bynw
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:17:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> OK then, Shiral. Maybe I can send it mid-February. We'll have more
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:17:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> That will be a great time to send it
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:18:05 PM EST] <Laurna> After newyears will be good Jerusha
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:18:09 PM EST] <DesertRose> We need a bunch of refrigerator trucks to ship the snow from Canada to the mountains in the PNW.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:18:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I'll load it on reindeer
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:18:36 PM EST] <Laurna> Perfect LOL
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:18:49 PM EST] <derynifank> We need a good weather worker
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:19:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> loads Chatroom table with Mexican hot chocolate and fresh hot churros
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:19:13 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'll be baking apple pie later this week, so.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:19:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Too much spice for me!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:19:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> All the refrigerator trucks may be full of pfizer vaccine.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:19:23 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Yum! 😋
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:19:38 PM EST] * DesertRose sets out apple pie plus ice cream for those who like it a la mode, and whipped cream for those who don't want that much cold.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:19:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well, vaccine is even more important, right now
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:19:49 PM EST] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:19:49 PM EST] <oyarsa> yummy apple pie
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:19:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:20:17 PM EST] <derynifank> Yummy treats
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:20:17 PM EST] <Laurna> Yes refrigerator trucks are busy, that is why the reindeer are perfect.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:20:21 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I have decided to attempt a Sachertorte for Christmas
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:20:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Can I have a la mode and whipped cream?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:20:28 PM EST] * The_Bee sets out mulled cider and honey mead.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:20:39 PM EST] <KK> Shiral, you are way ambitious!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:20:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's the season of overindulgence, so go ahead, Bethane
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:20:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> My bio-father got a lot of things wrong in his life, but I have to agree with his favorite meal: steak, a baked potato, corn on the cob, a garden salad, and apple pie a la mode.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:20:51 PM EST] <DesertRose> Sure, go for it, Bethane.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:20:55 PM EST] <Laurna> Yumm bee, and what is a Sachertorte, Shiral
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:21:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Well I haven't committed myself completely, KK
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:21:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Sugar, sugar, and more sugar
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:21:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Woo hop!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:21:23 PM EST] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:21:25 PM EST] <oyarsa> that sounds good DesertRose
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:21:29 PM EST] <KK> It's a Viennese specialty.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:21:31 PM EST] <derynifank> We could use a sugar high
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:21:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I'm on my phone and auto-correct is slapping me down on everything I type...
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:21:57 PM EST] <The_Bee> Someday I want to try maple snow.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:21:59 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's a kind of chocolate cake from Austria, Laurna. It originated at the Sacher Hotel in Vienna. It has apricot jam between the layers and is covered with chocolate glaze
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:22:11 PM EST] <derynifank> Really tired of our diet of bad news
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:22:31 PM EST] <Laurna> Oh, OH Oh yumm. I will be knocking on your door
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:22:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Just another 11 days of 2020 to go....
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:22:43 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Come my way in the spring, Bee. There will be maple snow
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:22:51 PM EST] <derynifank> It can't leave fast enough
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:22:52 PM EST] <KK> Out the door with it!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:23:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> Our snow is too dirty now.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:23:21 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> If I can find the motivation after the holidays I might start a new batch of mead. It'll depend on if I can find the cider I prefer, and the honey.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:23:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's actually a less complicated dessert than I've been making for the last couple of years, believe it or not. I made a raspberry Bakewell tart in 2017, and accidentally started a tradition
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:23:39 PM EST] <derynifank> I look forward to sweeping 2020 out the door on 12/31
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:00 PM EST] <The_Bee> My local liquor store carries mead.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:01 PM EST] <DesertRose> Amen to that!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:08 PM EST] <Laurna> Broom and dustpan in hand
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I'm looking forward to tomorrow when the days start getting longer. 🙂
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:11 PM EST] <KK> Yes! Opening the door at midnight and sweeping it out is a good celtic tradition!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:12 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> 2021 is not going to suddenly change things, I'm afraid
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> WIth Sachertorte, you have the cake, and you have the warmed jam and the glaze, but I won't have to make tart crust
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:31 PM EST] <KK> Not suddenly, no.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:37 PM EST] <DesertRose> No, but I'll still be glad to see 2020 over and done.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yep
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:51 PM EST] <derynifank> But hopefully things will improve
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:24:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> No, it's more symbolic, but even so, NOBODY's going to be sorry to see it out the door.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:25:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> Carys was apparently pleased with the "extra" food in her puzzle ball, as she is now on my chest, purring.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:25:23 PM EST] <The_Bee> I'll be glad to see the USA back in the paris climate accords.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:25:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Having working vaccines is a hopeful sign
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:25:41 PM EST] <KK> Can't think of much good that's happened in 2020. Well, I found my house, but other than that....
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:25:50 PM EST] <KK> Vaccines are good, too.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:26:04 PM EST] <derynifank> When do Cameron and Anna get there?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:26:17 PM EST] <The_Bee> I for one like the election results.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:26:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> It's been a Tower kind of year, but sometimes destruction clears the path for something better to be built.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:26:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> One can hope
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:26:41 PM EST] <KK> They leave Norman on the 22, so should be here the 23 or 24th, depending on weather. Probably the 23rd.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:27:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Wishing them a safe trip
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:27:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> How long will they stay?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:27:16 PM EST] <Laurna> Yes a nice drive
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:27:20 PM EST] <KK> And I've had a whole raft of electronic stuff arriving in the past couple of days, for the setup in the new house.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:27:23 PM EST] <oyarsa> may it be great driving weather
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:27:25 PM EST] <derynifank> Iknow yu will enjoy having them
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:27:37 PM EST] <The_Bee> My family s celebrating remotely. We're having a zoom chat on the 26th.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:27:52 PM EST] <KK> Will probably leave28th or so, to be home for new year's.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:28:03 PM EST] <oyarsa> 70 miles left to go
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:28:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My family's having a Silly Hat Zoom Party on Christmas morning
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:28:14 PM EST] <derynifank> After their visit you will be wired
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:28:27 PM EST] <KK> Yes, I will. :-)
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:28:46 PM EST] <KK> I like the silly hat idea better than ugly Christmas sweaters.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:29:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> You'll be able to get your Ward Major charged. =o)
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:29:03 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I wanted to do a zoom gathering with family, but my brother is tech challenged. 🙄
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:29:20 PM EST] <The_Bee> Remember the hats the Brit Royals were for weddings?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:29:21 PM EST] <derynifank> Me too. I love silly hats
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:29:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> I have so far managed to avoid the Ugly Sweater tradition
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:29:51 PM EST] <KK> Other than that one worn by Ps. Beatrice, most of them were quite elegant, I thought.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:29:56 PM EST] <derynifank> Just thinkabout those church lady hats
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:30:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> wear. They should make it a contest for who has the most outlandish headgear.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:30:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Now that I think of it, I don't really HAVE a silly hat. I barely even have hats
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:30:53 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Those are fun to wear.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:31:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I have winter hats. I don't care if they are silly provided they are warm
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:31:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Might have to get busy with Aluminum foil. =o)
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:32:06 PM EST] <The_Bee> Anyone know any silly walks?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:32:15 PM EST] <derynifank> If your head and feet are warm, the rest of you is more likely to be warm
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:32:25 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Just John Cleese's
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:32:36 PM EST] <KK> I hate hat hair, so I rarely wear hats.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:33:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> There's hat hair, and there is "my ears are frozen"
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:33:11 PM EST] <KK> I did but some furry earmuffs a few years back. Not sure how masks are going to work with winter hats.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:33:14 PM EST] <oyarsa> i'm not a hat person either
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:33:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> I'd rather have hat hair than frozen hair.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:33:23 PM EST] <derynifank> I just don't look good in hats. I had a friend who looked good in any hat but not me.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:33:36 PM EST] <Laurna> I have many costume hats in hat boxes but I never wear them
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:33:56 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Those are the cool hats, Laurna
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:34:04 PM EST] <KK> To go with some of the gowns you've made?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:34:40 PM EST] <Laurna> LOL If you say so. One for each day gown. but none for practical wear
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:34:55 PM EST] <derynifank> People should see the dresses you made for your sister's wedding. Really cool
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:35:02 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A cultured lady always wore a hat
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:35:12 PM EST] <KK> What did they wear for practical hats?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:35:18 PM EST] <The_Bee> Laurna, do you have any pics of these gowns?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:35:30 PM EST] <Laurna> Hummm
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:37:06 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Sterling says "hello", and sends purrs.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:37:07 PM EST] <The_Bee> warm bonnets maybe
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:37:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Ear Scritches and a thank you to Sterling
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:37:37 PM EST] <KK> Beanie-type hats, maybe turbans, Russian fur hats....
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:37:37 PM EST] <derynifank> Or veils from Kelson's time
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:37:53 PM EST] <KK> Cloaks with hoods.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:37:58 PM EST] <derynifank> Soft knit beanies are good
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:38:10 PM EST] <The_Bee> Would veils be warm enough in winter?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:38:15 PM EST] <KK> No.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:38:23 PM EST] <KK> Plus, they'd blow around.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:38:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Bought myself a new knitted hat that matches my jacket in color.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:38:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Hooded cloak would be needed
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:38:38 PM EST] <derynifank> Well they had hoods on their cloaks also
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:38:39 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I can't keep veils on. Cloaks are good anywhere!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:38:48 PM EST] <KK> And what color is that?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:39:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Cloaks would be a problem too, I'd think. Could so easily blow open.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:39:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> Offers thank-you scritches to Sterling.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:39:17 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> It's a deep purple called Cassis
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:39:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> Not unless the wind is VERY high, surprisingly.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:39:24 PM EST] <KK> Nice.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:39:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> I got a package from my bro and SIL. Feels soft, but I'm not opening it til Christmas.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:39:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Separate hood and cloaks provide better shoulder protection
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:39:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> But it's not surprising that wealthy people had fur-lined cloaks and sometimes clotesh
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:40:00 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> clothes
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:40:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> And nice big fireplaces
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:40:26 PM EST] <DesertRose> My silly hat: https://imgur.com/a/nrSFX27
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:40:29 PM EST] <derynifank> Fur linings really add to warmth
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:40:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Now that's championship silly!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:40:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Wow
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:40:53 PM EST] <DesertRose> Also, the veil might not keep you warm, but a wimple or a cap of St. Birgitta will do a fair job.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:40:56 PM EST] <KK> Why, yes, that is a silly hat!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:40:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> Is it true that in Tudor times the sleeves of gowns were separate from the gowns themselves?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:41:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Love it
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:41:05 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yes, Bee.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:41:20 PM EST] <KK> They were often laced on.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:41:33 PM EST] <derynifank> Love the hat not tto mention the expression that went with it
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:41:34 PM EST] <DesertRose> Often the bodice and skirt were separate pieces also.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:41:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> They weren't great clothes for competing in sports. Or for moving much
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:41:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Do you want to move, or do you want to be warm?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:41:59 PM EST] <The_Bee> DR is a dragon!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:42:05 PM EST] <KK> Did you make the hat, DR?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:42:17 PM EST] <DesertRose> DR purchased that hat in Savannah, GA, in the late 90's, when she was not particularly sober.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:42:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Tee hee!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:42:40 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> @Shiral I camp in my Elizabethan gowns, movement isn't a problem.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:42:43 PM EST] <DesertRose> St. Patrick's Day on River Street. I wasn't the only one who was sobriety deficient.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:42:45 PM EST] <The_Bee> LOL!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:42:52 PM EST] <derynifank> The dragon may resent that
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:42:56 PM EST] <oyarsa> 54 miles
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:43:08 PM EST] <KK> You're making good time.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:43:27 PM EST] <derynifank> Know yo will be glad to get home
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:43:35 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Do you also wear the corset, hoops and bum-roll, Windy Cat?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:43:55 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Yep!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:44:01 PM EST] <Laurna> Nice
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:44:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Wow.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:44:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Is a bum roll a b ustle?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:44:22 PM EST] <oyarsa> glancing at the speedometer about 75
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:44:41 PM EST] <The_Bee> Are bum-rolls comfortable to sit on?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:44:43 PM EST] <DesertRose> Evie has driven standard transmission in full Elizabethan. It takes some practice to move in period clothes when you're used to modern, but it's not actually that *difficult.* It's just a matter of getting used to it.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:44:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Still, I look at Tudor-era portraits and think how uncomfortable and heavy they look. Would be especially hot in summer
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:44:59 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Corsets are more comfortable than bras, imho. Great back support.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:45:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> Summer in England in the 1500's wasn't all that warm.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:45:26 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> True. But you'd feel the heat if you lived in Spain/Southern Europe
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:45:32 PM EST] <DesertRose> To WindyCat re corsets vs bras: YES!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:45:46 PM EST] <Laurna> Not quite, a bum roll is a stuffed tube that sits on your hips to hold the skirts out at your hips and backside.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:46:12 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> I've found that all the layers of cloth block the humidity, so not as miserable as lightweight cotton.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:46:19 PM EST] <Laurna> A good corset is comfortable, I agree
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:46:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> They wore lighter-weight fabrics in summer. What you see in portraits is, basically, that person's finest clothing. (Unless they're royal, but it's still not exactly their everyday clothes.)
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:46:42 PM EST] <The_Bee> So it doesn't double as a seat-cushion.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:46:48 PM EST] <derynifank> I don't know, they used to lace corsetts so tight you couldn't take a deep breath. Probably one of the reasons southern ladies fainted a lot.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:46:57 PM EST] <Laurna> No bee, LOL
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:47:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup, multiple layers of lightweight natural textiles are actually fairly comfortable, even in summer in Florida.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:47:14 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> It doesn't go under the bum, it sits around the hips.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:47:15 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Placed wrong to be a seat cushion
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:47:19 PM EST] <DesertRose> That was a 19th C thing, not medieval/Renaissance.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:47:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Seems like it would feel awkward
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:47:47 PM EST] <Laurna> Only young wealthy girls looking for a husband and actresses tight laced
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:47:51 PM EST] <DesertRose> Renaissance corsets were snug enough to support the bust and create/assist in creating the fashionable shape, but not that tight.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:48:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Nevertheless, I think I'll stick to modern clothes
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:48:58 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Comfy jeans
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:49:11 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Hourglass waistlines are Victorian. Renaissance silhouettes were more straight than curved.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:49:23 PM EST] <The_Bee> T-shirts and tank-tops are enough for me.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:49:36 PM EST] <DesertRose> Or straight to the hips, then curved. They liked women to look like they could safely have lots of babies.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:50:25 PM EST] <derynifank> However, back suppport can really be a good thing
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:50:30 PM EST] <DesertRose> I keep telling my mother I could make her a 14th C. fashion plate; she has exactly the right body shape, unlike me with my big clunky shoulders, wide ribcage, and large bust.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:50:33 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> The only thing I don't like about wearing the Elizabethan is that I need help getting laced into it, and out of it.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:50:38 PM EST] <The_Bee> I've seen pics of Norman gowns that looked a lot like nightgowns.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:50:51 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yes. The back support from a well-fitted corset is wonderful.

[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:51:15 PM EST] <The_Bee> Hi TD!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:51:17 PM EST] <oyarsa> wb TD
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:51:24 PM EST] <DesertRose> Rehi TheDeryni.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:51:30 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Hi TD
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:51:33 PM EST] <KK> Hi, TD.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:52:01 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Hello all!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:52:08 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Bee, they were the precursor to t-shirts.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:52:20 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Hi TD. 👋
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:52:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Hi TD
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:52:41 PM EST] * TheDeryni smiles
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:52:45 PM EST] <The_Bee> At Darkover one year, I wore a nightgown over a long skirt as a hall costume.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:53:14 PM EST] <derynifank> @KK how are your plans for moving going?? Has anyone heard from Revanne since her move
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:53:16 PM EST] <KK> brb
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:53:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> The chemise/shift served as nightgown and undergarment for a very long time.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:53:59 PM EST] <oyarsa> revanne has posted some pics and info on facebook
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:54:49 PM EST] <The_Bee> oops. I meant skirt ove nightgown.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:55:00 PM EST] <derynifank> Wonder how she is doind digging out from all the boxes
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:55:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Moving always causes chaos
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:56:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> If you're lucky, moving is a pain only metaphorically. <3
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:56:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Moving IS chaos
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:56:08 PM EST] <The_Bee> Does she have anyone to help her unpack?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:56:27 PM EST] <DesertRose> Possibly Demercia. I don't think her children can come, because COVID.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:56:28 PM EST] <oyarsa> 37 miles
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:56:47 PM EST] <derynifank> Her daughters helped her move but don't know if anyone is still there to help with the unpacking
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:56:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> Her son is engaged, was supposed to have been married by now, but again, COVID. But his fiancee would help if she could, I'm sure.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:57:00 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Probably not right now. UK is on lockdown.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:57:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Parts of it
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:57:32 PM EST] <DesertRose> She may have had to unpack the absolute essentials and let the rest go hang for now, given her DH's illness.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:58:06 PM EST] <oyarsa> it will be a slow unpacking
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:58:10 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> UK isn't monolithic, in terms of restrictions, right now
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:58:31 PM EST] <DesertRose> And I have to start packing, although fortunately the literal heavy lifting is being done by professionals.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:58:45 PM EST] <Laurna> I think she said her sister was at her home to care fore her husband while she did the moving.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:59:00 PM EST] <derynifank> With the surge in Covid numbers here can't understand why people insit on traveling
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:59:09 PM EST] <derynifank> Insist
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:59:09 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Ah, ok. I think everyone I know there is under lockdown.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [7:59:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> They're renovating my building, so I have to move out as they can't exactly renovate with me and my stuff here. Hopefully they'll put me somewhere I can stay, because I wanted to get away from the Jerk Manager, and because that'll mean I don't have to move again, LOL. Moving out of here will be either the 28th or 29th move-of-house of my not-quite-45 years.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:00:07 PM EST] <Laurna> Wow really DR.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:00:10 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:00:12 PM EST] <The_Bee> Some people think anyone who tells them what to do is infringing on the freedom.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:00:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Good grief you have to move again, DR?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:00:14 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Eek!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:00:46 PM EST] <oyarsa> that's nuts DR
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:00:50 PM EST] <DesertRose> Well, the upside is, they're providing boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, and markers, plus the labor to move everything, so all I really have to do is box and unbox.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:00:55 PM EST] <derynifank> That is a lot of moves. Hope this one works out for you DR and you get away from the manager
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:01:13 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Knock wood, I never have to move again!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:01:15 PM EST] <DesertRose> I wish he'd just retire. I don't wish him ill; I just want him away from me.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:01:22 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Boxing is still a pain, though
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:01:22 PM EST] <Laurna> Make sure the new place has NO BED BUGS
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:01:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> Indeed.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:01:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Everywhere is restricted to some degree, but London and surrounds much more so than Bath and Bath much more so than Edinburgh
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:01:47 PM EST] <derynifank> Yes! Do not want a repeat of the bedbug experience
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:02:25 PM EST] <KK> Yike, DR! At least you have professional movers that you don't have to pay for.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:02:33 PM EST] <The_Bee> Where are you, Angsthase?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:02:33 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Ack, Bedbugs and COVID would not be a good start to 2021
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:02:46 PM EST] <DesertRose> Don't speak it into existence for crying out loud, y'all!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:02:48 PM EST] <Laurna> Oh heck no
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:03:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> makes like a zipper sister to avoid the situation
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:03:13 PM EST] <TheDeryni> I, unfortunately, have experienced both
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:03:16 PM EST] <derynifank> Murphy isn't listening.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:03:21 PM EST] <KK> You haven't been there for 45 years surely. Or did I misread?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:03:34 PM EST] <DesertRose> No, I've been alive for almost 45 years.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:03:56 PM EST] <derynifank> And moved 28-29mtimes in those 45 years
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:04:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yup.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:04:02 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Steam the sea sand welting on the mattress, it'll kill them. We had them in London, steam was the only thing that killed them.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:04:09 PM EST] <Laurna> Almost 45? You are a youngster still
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:04:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> I'm in Canada, but I have friends in Bath and Scotland
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:04:23 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Just a kid, really
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:04:34 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Where in Canada, Angsthase?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:04:43 PM EST] <DesertRose> The mattress and box springs are each encased in anti-bedbug bags. The movers will not be removing those bags or I will be exceedingly upset.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:05:07 PM EST] <KK> UK has just gone into a seriously serious lockdown, even shutting down the Channel Tunnel for 2 days. Mutated strain of Covid-19, they're saying. Add those to the murder hornets and other awfulos of 2020.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:05:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Near Toronto, though Durham Region is hoping (ridiculously) to remain in red rather than go to grey with the rest of the GTA
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:05:37 PM EST] <The_Bee> ??
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:05:53 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I have seen a rumor that lockdown will start in Ontario on the morning of Christmas Eve
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:06:08 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> I don't believe it.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:06:12 PM EST] <derynifank> Is red better than grey?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:06:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Ontario is, again, not monolithic.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:06:28 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Red is less restricted than grey
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:06:30 PM EST] <TheDeryni> They believe the new strain is more easily passed
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:06:36 PM EST] <Laurna> So don't be with family on christms Eve that you can not live with for weeks.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:06:42 PM EST] <The_Bee> What do red and gray represent?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:06:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> Jeez, the damn thing's already airborne.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:06:45 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> I'm in Northern Ontario, still in a green zone, so hoping it won't happen
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:06:52 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> nods
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:07:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Moving Mintouwadge to grey wouldn't help anybody
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:07:16 PM EST] <derynifank> fingers crossed for you
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:07:20 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'm guessing levels of lockdown restrictions, Bee.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:07:22 PM EST] <oyarsa> in the home stretch now. just 24 miles to go
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:07:33 PM EST] <Laurna> that is fast
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:07:48 PM EST] <The_Bee> Oh yes! I was thinking political boundaries.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:07:49 PM EST] <KK> May we all stay healthy through this holiday season!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:07:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> https://www.ontario.ca/page/covid-19-response-framework-keeping-ontario-safe-and-open
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:07:57 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Yes, levels are colour coded.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:08:00 PM EST] <Laurna> Amen
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:08:09 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Manitouwadge, even
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:08:20 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Wear a mask!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:08:39 PM EST] <KK> And wash hands. Keep social distance.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:08:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> We're all pretty good at wearing masks up here.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:08:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> Every time I walk out of my door if I'm going on the elevator.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:08:57 PM EST] <DesertRose> (I don't always mask up to go to the trash chute, but any time I'm going downstairs, mask on.)
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:09:04 PM EST] <The_Bee> My sister's in Caledon. What zone is that?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:09:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> I feel like Ford is way too concerned with keeping things open
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:09:39 PM EST] <derynifank> Who is Ford?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:09:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Caledon is in Peel region, so full grey lockdown
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:09:49 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> That sounds like my Governor, @Angsthase
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:09:51 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Ford is the premier of Ontario
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:09:53 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Why would you be going in a trash shute, DR?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:09:59 PM EST] <DesertRose> Doug Ford, premier of Ontario.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:10:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> Taking my trash out.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:10:05 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Ford is the premier of Ontario
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:10:44 PM EST] <DesertRose> And I make at least one trash trip a day, because cat litter.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:10:55 PM EST] <Laurna> So with all this lockdown one would think we should all be writing. but it doesn't seem like we can find the time. LOL
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:10:59 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Oh. Not getting in the trash chute.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:11:04 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Good ol' kitty litter...
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:11:11 PM EST] <DesertRose> It's not so much time as it is mental bandwidth, I think, Laurna.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:11:22 PM EST] <Laurna> I know
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:11:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> I've been writing. Just not Deryni stuff >.>
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:11:40 PM EST] <DesertRose> This kind of crisis ties up more energy than a lot of people think.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:11:41 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I've actually been writing
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:11:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> A little hard to be creative
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:11:46 PM EST] <Laurna> Cool
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:11:59 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> My brain is mush, writing isn't happening these days.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:01 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> My creative life has not been great, this year
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:04 PM EST] <DesertRose> I've written a little, but mostly I've been sewing and relearning to crochet for "creative" activities.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:28 PM EST] <Laurna> I should be writing and sewing. but so far I only read
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:36 PM EST] <oyarsa> some day ghosts of the past will be finished
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:40 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> I finished a queer novel, this month, and wrote a 2880 words short story, today, with the same characters
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:42 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Reading is good
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:45 PM EST] <DesertRose> I am, weirdly, leanring not to hate hand-sewing.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:51 PM EST] <KK> Read and watch the Hallmark Channel.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:53 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, I've been reading my fool head off.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:54 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I joined a group and we do sprints daily around noon. It's been helping me a lot with the writing

[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:12:58 PM EST] <Laurna> I thought retirement meant you have more time for things. but the time escapes me now
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:13:01 PM EST] <DesertRose> The library staff pretty much know me on sight.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:13:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> I've been using 4thewords, for minimum writing motivation
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:13:26 PM EST] <The_Bee> Our libraries are pick-up only.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:13:35 PM EST] <DesertRose> writtenkitten is the one I like.

[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:13:50 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> I have a 78 day streak going
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:13:56 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> What is that Angsthase?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:13:58 PM EST] <DesertRose> Oh, mine too, Bee, but I'm in there picking up holds and returning books I've finished reading often enough that they recognize me now.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:14:03 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Way to go, Ang
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:14:03 PM EST] <DesertRose> Rehi derynifank.

[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:14:29 PM EST] <Laurna> Good going Angsthase
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:14:29 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> 4theWords is a gamification site to encourage people to hit daily wordcount goals in their writing. You battle creatures by writing a certain number of words in a set period, and complete quests, mostly by defeating creatures. There's a 30-day free trial with a small monthly fee thereafter.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:14:35 PM EST] <derynifank> Sorry. having a computer glitch
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:15:22 PM EST] <DesertRose> https://writtenkitten.co
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:15:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> On working days, we're all doing a bit of everything, so work is actually more physically strenuous than usual. When I get home, I'm beat
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:15:31 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Sounds cool, I just don't get on my desktop enough to use it.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:16:19 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Oh my gosh, I need kitten rewards!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:16:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Minimum for a streak on 4theWords is 444, oddly
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:16:37 PM EST] <DesertRose> That's what it's for! All of us writer/cat-slaves.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:17:00 PM EST] <DesertRose> It amazes me sometimes how much overlap there is between writers and cat servants.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:17:31 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> What if you can't have a cat?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:17:46 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> I know what I'm doing when I get home...
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:17:48 PM EST] <DesertRose> You can still get pictures of kittens for writing; see the link I posted above.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:17:50 PM EST] <oyarsa> about to hit the city limits
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:18:12 PM EST] <DesertRose> Pictures of kittens are hypoallergenic, unless you're allergic to dust and haven't cleaned your computer screen in a bit. ;P
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:18:27 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> 🤣
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:18:37 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Screen is clean
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:18:58 PM EST] <oyarsa> just minutes now
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:19:31 PM EST] <The_Bee> Look at the bottom, Jerusha. You can choose kitten, puppy or bunny
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:19:39 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Did you say you were going to des moines or Omaha?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:19:57 PM EST] <oyarsa> to des moines
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:19:57 PM EST] <DesertRose> I think home to Des Moines from Omaha.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:20:12 PM EST] <oyarsa> from lincoln ne actually
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:20:27 PM EST] <DesertRose> Hey, you made the "Turn the Page" reference. ;P
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:20:54 PM EST] <DesertRose> Although I suppose that the route between Lincoln and Des Moines would still take you east of Omaha.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:21:07 PM EST] <oyarsa> that's because we had just crossed the river at the time
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:21:24 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> How long you been driving?
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:21:25 PM EST] <oyarsa> lincoln is west of omaha
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:21:53 PM EST] <KK> Afraid it's all terra incognita for me.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:21:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yes, but getting from Lincoln TO Des Moines entails getting east of Omaha.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:22:01 PM EST] <oyarsa> lincoln to des moines is about 3 hours
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:22:25 PM EST] <DesertRose> I'm just the kid in geography class everyone wanted on their Jeopardy team because my brain retains weird info like that.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:23:08 PM EST] <oyarsa> pulling in the drive in about 45 seconds
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:23:20 PM EST] <Eris> <WindyCat (they/them)> Yay!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:23:29 PM EST] <KK> Hurrah!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:23:30 PM EST] <derynifank> Home at last!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:23:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Nice to be home after a little road trip 🙂
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:23:44 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Welcome home!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:23:48 PM EST] <Eris> <Shiral> Safe home is always good
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:23:51 PM EST] <DesertRose> It's probably also terra plana.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:23:55 PM EST] <DesertRose> Yay! Home!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:24:58 PM EST] <The_Bee> You could have just clicked your heels and said, "There's no place like home."
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:25:27 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> But he's not in Kansas
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:25:31 PM EST] <TheDeryni> I tried that. Doesn't work
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:25:39 PM EST] <KK> Well, I need to check out, folks. I need dinner, and I have a crew showing up at 1000 in the morning to move the first batch of furniture to the new house. Mainly office stuff, and hopefully my couch and big chair and ottoman for the great room.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:25:56 PM EST] <TheDeryni> Good night, Katherine
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:26:13 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Good luck with the moving, KK! Hope you have a good week and enjoy Cameron and Anna's visit
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:26:16 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Goodnight @KK
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:26:18 PM EST] <Eris> <Angsthase> Take care, KK
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:26:21 PM EST] <KK> Everyone, have the best Christmas you can have, under the current restrictions, and stay healthy!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:26:22 PM EST] <The_Bee> Nighters, KK. Happy Christmas!
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:26:36 PM EST] <Eris> <Bethane> Merry Christmas 🙂
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:26:40 PM EST] <KK> Nighters, all.
[Sunday, December 20, 2020] [8:26:47 PM EST] <Eris> <Jerusha2> Nighters, KK
