Familiar Things This Week Wednesday, Feb 27 2008

27 February 2008

I am becoming very familiar with this sort of stuff this week.  As I suspected when I wrote my KRuMB entry Monday night, I am a better nurse today than I was then! 

Kyle’s wounds are healing pretty well.  Each time we change the dressing, it looks a little better.  We are concerned about the swelling of the area all around his knee, and are hoping that there is no lasting damage to his knee, kneecap, or attached tendons and ligaments.  Please keep your positive energy flowing for him on that subject.  The last two days, his work schedule (and his generous boss) have allowed him to work from home.  So, while Kelly and I have worked in the workshop, he has worked in the house on his laptop.  And with this injury, he has been under no temptation to get up and move around!  He’s been working practically non-stop!  But, tomorrow, there’s something going on that requires him to actually be “in” the office.  So, after changing the dressing again tomorrow morning, he has to do what he’s been dreading the most . . . put on long pants!

Manager Marcus Wednesday, Feb 27 2008

26 February 2008

If this smiling face isn’t familiar yet, hopefully, it soon will be.  At least for those who visit our shoppe at Scarborough Renaissance Festival—East Wind Games.  This is Marcus.  He is, as of right now, officially our manager for the 2008 season at faire.  We are very pleased to introduce him!

After two seasons of Kyle working the seven-day weeks, and burning out pretty hard in eight weeks’ time—Marcus is our solution.   We will, of course, still be wholly responsible for the company itself:  all the interfacing with faire management, controlling and ordering product, dealing with vendors, booth upkeep, etc.  But, Marcus will be there for us on Saturdays and Sundays, to open the shoppe, write sales, handle customers with a smile, and in short, help to ensure Kyle’s sanity.

 Thanks, Marcus!
