Eh, it's a matter of "do I want to get back into the SCA... again." Since L got sick we haven't been active. He'll be done with his treatments in April and we could go to a few events, but I'm not sure it's worth it. We don't have a niche anymore. Neither of us fights and I don't do Equestrian anymore. The times we went to events last year, we kind of wandered around lost. There were a few really cool people we got to hang out with, but we were kind of lost. Which is weird when you consider I've been in the SCA since 1989.
It could be that we were both still in the throws of anxiety from Iraq and trying to do something completely new for him and new for me in that I'd always fenced or rode. We just felt so out of place.
The people that I knew from before seemed to act kind of weird around us. Could be because me having a husband was the last thing they expected. Or it could be that I wasn't attached to a horse.
We should try again and take things to occupy ourselves with. It would be nice if some of them were on LJ so I could chat with them before that time and arrange to meet them at an event.
