...because I am an idiot.

I am a bad rapier champion, and am not going to Highland River Melees after all. I'm such a flake. I was all dressed and ready, and then kept stalling, because I don't really want to go fence this weekend (although I expect I would have enjoyed myself once I actually got there), and eventually I sat at the bottom of the stairs right by the front door with all my fencing stuff and flipped a coin: heads I go, tails I stay home and run errands and butcher a stuffed sheep. It came up tails.

Of course, now I'm going to feel vaguely guilty all day, because if the Stierbach BB next weekend doesn't have fencing (which has happened before) then I won't be able to make it to anything before Assessment in July, and that's the last semi-local fencing event before Pennsic. Sigh. Such an idiot.

---2 pm: I feel sort of slightly better, given that having stayed home, wandered around Vienna briefly, and generally done nothing strenuous, my wrist hurts terribly. And I was sufficiently out of it to be almost unsafe driving. I think this is a sign that I got more dehydrated than I thought yesterday, and so it is probably good that I just made a pitcher of Thai tea and will probably drink about half of it over the afternoon. Yeah. There's a flayed sheepskin soaking in the bathroom sink; might as well start it out clean, right?
