'Twas the Day After CanGames
Hope everyone is having a good day. :)
CanGames 2018 is pretty much a done deal for me, though the folks who organised and put on this year's edition of the convention are probably dealing with the aftermath of the convention and hopefully getting in some rest today as well.
I made the decision to go to the convention this year even with the diabetic ulcer on my left leg, my stomach and bowels suffering the effects of a high dose of antibiotic, and with the shoulder pain that I've been dealing with for over a year. I won't say it was the smartest decision (see below) to game pm the weekend (I was running four (4) game sessions of stuff), I managed to survive CanGames in pretty good shape or so I thought. I woke up this morning with a sore throat and a cough, the latter having gotten steadily worse as the day has gone on, though otherwise I'm feeling somewhat all right. I suspect I have the dreaded con crud - and how the heck have I come down with a bacterial infection while on an antibiotic and keeping my hands as clean as I could at the convention?? - but I have to say I had a pretty good time running my games at CanGames 2018 and catching up with a few friends, but I'll admit that most of Saturday passed in something of a blur. The convention had a little bit of something for everyone - from children's games, through board games, miniature games, roleplaying games, and I think there may have been a LARP event that I may have heard about - but I'll admit that I missed most of it. I managed to do what I set out to do at the convention, but didn't actually take all that many photos at the convention this year. (If folks who did take photos at the convention would care to share them, I'd be more than happy to see any pics and the like!)
On this holiday Monday, I've been taking it very easy, doing a bit of reading and catching up on some PVR stuff, drinking hot liquids and taking some cough drops (sugar-free, of course!). Haven't managed to put away some of the gaming stuff yet. I haven't jotted down any notes about the gaming that I did this weekend yet, but will take care of some of that now. After I have a hot cup of tea.
I just hope the rest of this month is relatively calm and quiet in terms of everything, that I can recover quickly from this darned con crud I'm dealing with now, and that I can sort out some of the diabetes problems I'm currently dealing with.
