Last jam

Went to Crossroads this morning for the last practice session with Ken and Karl. Rob didn't play because he had a busted string and his replacements are a different gauge. I got to drum a bit but didn't do any singing because Paul Closius was picking up my parts on recorder. It would have been fun to sing, for old times sake, but it was a practice after all. I was just glad to hear how things are coming together ... they're sounding good! And the recorder is a nice addition.

We took today as a day of rest. Basically, that meant doing the laundry while playing Neverwinter Nights. We were playing a module that we'd been playing for much of the time that we've been here and we wanted to finish it before going our separate ways. Finally, late yesterday afternoon, Elriethrawen Lianoscia (me) and Jaithn Lukes (Rob), along with their hearty band of adventurers, slew the evil beholder Xanathar in the deepest dungeons below the city of Waterdeep.
Whew ... what a relief! Glad we got that taken care of.

Now that everything's washed, we can do the clothes assessment. We took a stab at it last night after dinner, just to get the mental balls rolling. For me, that meant hauling things out of the closet and putting them on, seeing if there was anything about it that was keeping me from wearing it on a more regular basis. You know, pulls at the neck, poochy at the waist, tight on the calves, wrinkles at the slightest provocation. Got rid of yet more clothes that way.

We realized that we have 3 categories of clothing that need to be packed in separate compartments (suitcases or boxes):
- clothes to take to our respective schools for wearing while there (casual, summer stuff)
- clothes to keep for use after schools, when we're cohabiting again (suits, "churchy" clothes)
- other clothes for both of us for over the next year (fall and winter clothes, coats)
