I spent yesterday at Norwescon hosting a mightily successful BarCon. Literally. I arrived at the convention hotel around 9:45ish, settled myself in the bar, and stayed there until 6ish. Never once was I without company of the finest kind, said company including a rogue's gallery of writers, musicians, and generally clever and gifted people (including but not limited to
miss_swamp,
grubbstreet,
e_bourne,
markbourne,
jaylake,
jackwilliambell,
mikigarrison,
shelly_rae,
mrdorbin,
camillealexa,
dreamline,
inevitableguy,
ironymaiden,
melkahb,
bravado111, and others, some who aren't on LJ--please forgive me if I've left you out!!). I had a marvelous time just enjoying the fine company. I had dinner with CE, whom I really must see more often than once a year, and spent some quality time with
jaylake thereafter. I went to the Pyr party just long enough to realize that I wasn't in the right frame of mind to deal with a crowd, and so departed around 10:45 PM, well satisfied with the day.
Today, it's been a slow start. I've written several important emails and done some cursory chores around the house. I need to start moving a bit more quickly and being a bit more productive. That said, it's the first completely uncommitted day I've had at home since I returned from New York and I'm reveling in the complete lack of obligation. There's something to be said for lolling about with tea and cats, and doing nothing more. But it all leads me to wonder why I'm craving a full-out binge on Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies?
