On my way home after a day of archaelogy 🥰
Sweaty, covered in dirt, tired, and super happy. I took my unit down a couple inches (really tough soil), then meeting it all up. Then I went to the lab for a little bit and cleaned samples. A nice fulfilling day

A book that I need to read.
I got this a year ago and lent it to my father. So now it's my turn to read it.
I also listen to the fascinating talk by the author at our museum.

I went for a nature hike yesterday. It was such a gorgeous day and it made me feel really wonderful. ☺️ I think getting out nature is important. I just wish it were warmer lol🍁🍂

My new horse bow just arrived!
It's for LARP, so I didn't buy an expensive one. It also has a very low draw weight for the same reason. Only 30 lb. Still, horse bows are pretty. 👩🏹
My 55 lb recurve is unacceptable for LARP 🤣🤣

Elven Ishtar... Maybe... ELFTAR!
The ears look really big in person, but they blend in too much to really stand out in this photo. They're actually going to be my dryad ears for LARP, but they made my impromptu costume this year.
Anyway, time to get to bed. Elftar is tired lol

Tonight's reading material for bed. Gosh, I just love archaeology papers 🥰
I also like some of the very asymmetric adornment designs found in late Neolithic to Chalcolithic Anatolia.

Yesterday I spent all day volunteering for archeology public outreach.
One important part of archeology is public outreach to educate the public about archeology, what we do, and why we do it. Also, how it benefits them.
I spoke with a lot of people and it was quite a turnout \o/

Before transition: It's Friday night, guess I'll just sit around and watch a movie while I hide my existential screaming...
After transition: It's Friday night, got to get my dress on and head out to meet my friends and enjoy every second until I come home exhausted from enjoying life
Worth it

I couldn't find the screws to afix my limbs to to my riser, so I finally said hell with it and just carried it all into the hardware store. I got a lot of funny looks, but I found the right screws lol
Now it's time to do more archery!

My old 2002 car just hit 100K.
Very low mileage for a Corolla that old. We call her the escape pod. The normal car that we drive is a 2019 Subaru Outback lol She feels like a go-kart by comparison

Sitting outside of my friends' house waiting for them to get back with a U-Haul so I can help them move. I'm sitting in the back of my Subaru with the hatch up letting the wind blow through my hair
Living my best lesbian life 🥰🤣

I went to an early Halloween party. My dryad costume isn't ready, so I dressed up as a kat. You might say that it was a puuuuurrrrrrfect costume for me, as I say meow constantly due to tourette's.
I had a tail too, but you can't see it here lol
