The last several weeks have been really crazy for me. What with painting the nursery, helping my sister get ready for the new baby, taking care of my brother's kids every other weekend, costuming, sewing, putting together my presentation for MotF, the CSI FanFic Awards, my trip to Atlanta for Dragon*Con, getting sick...twice (thanks to the babies), the baby shower from hell, a few false alarms with my pregnant sister, going from having 5 simultaneous audits at work to having 6 while we struggle to close the most difficult one on our annual calendar, and generally not sleeping very much for the last 8 weeks when it didn't involve a ridiculous fever or total collapse.
Needless to say...I'm a little worn out right now. I've got a friend in town for the weekend, and we've both pretty much reached our end. We were supposed to be doing this last weekend, but thanks to Ike we had to postpone until this weekend. That also means that we lost our little getaway cabin in Lyons, so we're hanging out in a very nice hotel here in the Tech Center of Denver. We bugged out early from the party we had to go tonight, which was graciously approved of by our hosts. Apparently we both look like we've been through the wars. Got checked in at the hotel, had some Chinese food delivered and now we're chilling out watching Flashpoint right now. Some wild weekend, huh?
If you don't hear from me for a few days there's no need to worry. I am in good hands, and the only thing I have on my agenda until his flight leaves Sunday is to go to work tomorrow and attending my monthly geek meeting Saturday afternoon while he plays with race cars.
And one last thing before I pass out completely...
Thank you to everyone who enjoyed my stories enough to vote for them in the CSI FanFic Awards. I was completely blown away by the nominations, and then to know that even more people had connected with those stories so much that they voted for them was unbelievable. Each of those stories was written with a piece of myself invested in them, and it means so very much to know that people have accepted that piece of my heart and taken it into their own. Thank you, from the depths of my heart, thank you.
