Birka End

Here are some happy things from today 

• This morning I woke up earlier than I probably should have and went to the hotel gym.  I was definitely feeling guilty about not doing the stairs as much as I wanted to and not getting my step count.  Yesterday I had at least 8 hours sitting in court or meetings. At the hotel gym, I learned that I don't really know how to use the machines.  It isn't that I don't know how to use them at all, but that I don't know the best way to get them to let me move at my own pace with what I choose for an incline. I did a couple of short workouts, I'm glad I did.  If I don't get out and do more hiking on my days off, I really should consider joining a gym for a month or so.  Before 8 AM I had over 4000 steps.  Yay!
• There isn't as much that happens on Sundays at this event.  There was one meeting that I knew of and some of the merchants remained open.  The rest is clean up time.  I attended the meeting and wandered the merchants.  Keziah and I selected the winners of the Baron and Baroness Merchants Choice Award.  I didn't spend as much time helping with pack down as I expected, but they seemed to have everything under control.
• Right before I left someone came up to me to let me know that for them, the event was an enchanting and magical time.  That one comment was just what I needed to hear.

One of the two machines I exercised with.

Keziah got a dragon!
