Covered in Kale and Crying: GISHWHES 2013
It's over.
This has been a vexing, hectic, stressful, fun, difficult week. Many of my team (myself included) were unable to participate as much as we desired due to extraneous and often unforeseen circumstances.
Still. We mustered together as best we could and had a good time. Creating a rainstorm on a sunny day and dousing a dear friend is definitely a favourite memory, and the wild swell of exuberance and pride I felt when my younger sis, Pie, reported back successfully from Burnaby will always be cherished. There were many tears of frustration and defeat, yet overall I'm very happy to have been involved with this mad creative social experiment yet again. I'm not as enthusiastic for the next one as I was at the close of last year's GISHWHES, I'll admit to that, but it'll return.
I might still suffer a flashback at VanCon next weekend and try to shake him by the shoulders. ;) For now, though, I'm going to fall onto my lovely, wonderful bed who I haven't seen enough this past week and pass out for a few hours before I have to attend my Bridezilla sister's bridal shower.
Pray for me.
