Got up early again this morning. Lots more sleep last night, but still not rested. I had decided to skip the breakfast buffet, so I had a granola bar in my room, followed by a bagel with cream cheese once the staff den opened. I packed up all my things before leaving the room the first time, and had time to take one suitcase out to the car. I was ( Read more... )

Got up early this morning, ate at the breakfast buffet, then had back to back panels starting at 10:00. Neither had any audience to speak of, but we had some interesting conversation among the panelists ( Read more... )

Two very good panels today to round out the con. In between, I had a bite of lunch from one of the food trucks outside the convention center, and ran into the dealers room for one last, inexpensive item (using some of the leftover money in my food budget ( Read more... )

I am definitely sick. I have just gotten up from an hour-long nap; I can't nap at all unless I am either seriously sleep-deprived (which was true on Tuesday and possibly Wednesday but is no longer) or sick. I'm coughing a little but have no other overt symptoms, so who knows what it is. (I suspect I would be running a fever, except that my feet ( Read more... )

I think I'm sickening for something. I was entirely too muzzy-headed yesterday, more than can be accounted for by insufficient sleep. (The last time I was this loopy, I had diverticulitis. Don't worry, it's pretty clearly not that.) I did manage to sleep in this morning, but I'm still a lot tireder than I should be ( Read more... )

Not enough sleep last night. Today was busy with several panels, a reading and autographing by one of the guests of honor, and a filk concert. I probably should have skipped the concert, since I was exhausted by then, but it was excellent ( Read more... )

Remember how I had forgotten to retrieve the plastic display shelves/risers from the Lunacon art show when I packed up at the end of the convention? They mailed them back to me! That was so totally unexpected. I got a box today with the final accounting, the check, and the risers, plus a note apologizing for not getting them back to me sooner(!). ( Read more... )

I just realized that I walked off and left the two shelf-thingys on my table at the art show. I had five of them in different sizes, clear plastic freestanding shelves that I bought several years ago when the local Hallmark was going out of business. I had taken all five with me this weekend but only used two ( Read more... )

Got up early enough to check the weather again (the snow is holding off until later) and have another big breakfast. On my way over to the latter, I ducked into the art show long enough to see that I had won a Judges Choice ribbon for 3D art! and collected several more bids. The jackalope had enough to go to auction ( Read more... )
