I'm home from Gallifrey and both physically and emotionally exhausted. I wound up having a snafu with my flight and got bumped to a layover flight that put my home 5 hours later than intended. As a result, I spent most of Monday sleeping. Today I went to work, but had an afternoon meeting that let out early so I came home and slept some more.
I don't know what to make of Gallifrey. I often feel like it's loads of fun, yet also find it emotionally unfulfilling and stressful. It's like a condensed, heightened experience. At least, it was good to not be stressing about work for several days. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I went to California for a few days . . .
Here's a few photos (warning - kinda big)
for your enjoyment.

William Russell is like the grandpa whose knee you want to sit at with a cup of tea while he regales you with stories of old Who
doctorpancakes and I held the door open for Camille Courdri at the beginning of the day and she gave us the most adorable squeaking thank you ever. Here she is on stage with Gary Russell

Totally unplanned, I wound up assisting Waris Hussein again this year at the last minute. While sitting in the green room waiting for him to come off stage, I gave New Yawk diction lessons to Phil Olivier and we talked about his turn on NMTB (talking about NMTB was a real highlight of my weekend, tbh, though decidedly non-Whovian). Also, he's a sweet fellow who gives nice hugs.
And while I'm at it, a meme.
You are The High Priestess
Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.
The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.
