The first we’ve done in 5 yrs. I was anxiety ridden, and excited to see friends I’ve not seen in ages. Mostly that went ok.
but first off, i guess. our flights and connections were ok. I’m not sure the cheaper flight thru frankfurt was worth the absolute hell stress of a tight connection was wise.
I found that R gets peeved if I am lost or annoyed or something, but it’s ok for him to get shirty, for the same. It makes me rethink long haul travel with him, or really, any travel.
Anyway. Some friends were hard to locate and the meeting was…me putting in a fuckton of effort where they did none. That still sits uneasy with me. I realize I think I hold people in more closeness than they consider me, and its something I’ll have to work through.
Con was fine, crowded and oddly line-choked, like places for food, coffee, etc, was just especially lined up more than I recall in the past. I missed a few panels because navigating the crowds was some kind of extra this year.
I also skipped some panels I’d book marked because i realized they’re the same every year, for the last 15 yrs, do we REALLLLLLLLLLY need Chelsea Quinn Yarbro rattling off about her characters again? Or jody lynn nye and her crappy writing information. I kind of wish the writing and goth tracks would get some uhg…fresh blood.
Skipped the cruxshadows show as is now tradition, but every time i passed the booth in my travels it was a total dead zone and it amused me.
Met Adam Savage, wowed him with a lab grown garnet I’d cut.
Didn’t eat much, walked a lot, oddly, didn’t lose a pound so i question this calories in, calories out bs, because….nothing’s working.
Hives behaved well, but flared when we got home. i think i need to get a solid 8 hrs and stay on routine.
Anyway. off to writer group tonight, having had a 15 min mentor session with another writer and got some ideas.
S had a fantastic time, costuming, participating, and maybe we’ll go next year but i don’t know yet, i’m still jet lagged.
I masked, and fortunately covidless so that’s good.
