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... )

Travel home went fairly smoothly, although my flight was about 15 minutes late and there was some confusion about where to pick up my luggage. La Guardia airport was a gridlocked mess, but the actual roads were pretty good once we got to them ( 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... )

Got up a little after 8:00 this morning, ate at the breakfast buffet, then headed down to the art show. After putting out my bid sheets and getting completely checked in, I volunteered to help hang mail-in art. It took almost two hours to hang one artist, because he had miscalculated the panel size, so things didn't fit the way he expected them to ( Read more... )

Got up entirely too early this morning to catch a flight to Kansas City for Worldcon. The flight got in early, baggage claim was literally next to the gate so I barely had time to grab an overpriced sandwich from the Starbucks across the way before my first suitcase came up with the second right behind it, Supershuttle came very fast, ride to hotel ( Read more... )
