Pp went to Garycon in Wisconsin which he enjoyed a great deal. I managed to keep up with all the orders enquiries and packing while he was away, more or less.
Then he got back, and almost immediately went down with (we think) the flu swept through the con-attenders immediately after the event. Two days later so did I.
So it was a pretty blurred and vague Easter and I'm still working on regaining the ability to walk upstairs in one go without a series of long thoughtful achy pauses.
What do I remember doing? We watched the movies 'Nyad' and 'Glass Onion'. I re-read a couple of Diana Wynne Jones books and finally finished reading the Witcher books. Felt the ending was very Polish somehow.
I have managed to take Theo out for at least one walk a day, but it's mostly been a slow short one. Yesterday was the exception, because I foolishly let him off the lead on the beach, where he has been very good for over a year, and, just too bored to cope, he took off like a bullet up into the gorse, where he spent about an hour running in frantic circles after... whatever lives up there. Rabbits. Foxes, maybe. Oh well, at least it tired him out. I and Rosie and Pp sat on the beach and waited for him to come back. At least the sun was shining.
And I posted a couple more chapters of Dain's Saga. The last chapter isn't quite polished but I hope it will be by Thursday. When I post it, I will have hit the round million of words posted on Ao3, which is something.
