That was a great weeked, can I get an extra day, please?
Saturday was the BR TNG meetup at MDRF. We do this every year, and it's fun. I wore my Black Kraken Acquisition Services t-shirt and my thigh holster (I needed somewhere for my fan!) and had fun wandering around with and other people. Sadly, I did not meet up with certain people until the very end of the day, because I had failed to charge my phone overnight.
Saturday night was a lovely dinner with friends.
Today, we went to the National Book Festival for Lois McMaster Bujold's book signing, because she is one of 's favorite writers. We stood in line and chatted with the other fans in line, with me mostly geeking out with them about fiber arts, fandom, other geeky shows, and fanfic (and one of them had my name! and she was cool, which is good, because only cool people are allowed to have my name).
We hung out for a little while longer, and then had a nice dinner with . I really love my polycule, and I really like seeing and be cute together. I remember when I first started dating him, one of the things I really liked was how they are so cute together - it made me think that our (possibly OTT) cuteness wasn't just a phase, that he was going to stay affectionate, which is important to me. I am excited that we are all sharing a room at BR XXV.
But now, of course, it is Sunday night, and I am le tired. And the very last thing I want to do tomorrow is deal with going to work and editing documents and taking minutes. But it should be a beautiful day for a bike ride, and my Kindle is full of Vorkosigan books and I have lots of crocheting (so. many. projects!) and perhaps I will even manage to find the energy for a post-work swim.
For now, I will watch some tv on the computer and see how close to finishing at least one project I can get (and/or rip out the hat I am working on if it does not get more hatlike very soon).
