It Took Its Sweet Time

Okay, I guess it's official. I'm weird. It's taken a week before the PCD (post con depression) hit me. I was too busy working my fat backside off last week upon my return to notice. Now that I have a little breathing room, I'm having all sorts of strange dreams about con - which involve my father, grandfather, and one of my uncles. All who have passed. They came to see me on Sunday at Con, and I was frantically trying to get to my talk at 11:30, but had to find my notes. WTF, people?

I dreamed about Con all night.

Well, it was a very important experience, and one that was very emotional in many ways for me. I guess everyone feels that way when you are saturated with such intensity for almost a week. The best thing is the friendships I made and the ones I increased, and the insights I gained about others and myself.

To be honest, though, I really need to get cracking on with things, so please, brain, get it out of your system and let me just have the normal strange dreams, TYVM.

Allergies have been reported in the 'Holy Crap, It's Bad' category this year, and I believe it. I've not had a bad bout with allergies in more years that I care to remember, but I'm really struggling. Wheezing, head full of porridge, gummy eyes, the Full Yuck. And allergy medicine, while very effective, knocks me unconscious. The non-drowsy stuff makes my heart race sickeningly, so I just have to deal with it. I either suffer, or sleep.Boo.

The good news is I ran my very dark fic idea by stgulik and not only did she not run screaming from it, but actually said, "It's a solid story line." She also said it was too multi-layered for the prompfest prompt, so I need to save it. This is a good thing; I don't think I could finish it before the end of the month, and I do so want to write it. There are several things I have languishing in my 'Editing in Progress' file that I need to finish, and hopefully now with a little less traumatic work schedule I can to this. I have come to realise that work was seriously burning me out, and I'm still a little bit in recovery mode. The big problem was that nothing looked right anymore. I have sat on a chapter of HM for almost a month because I couldn't tell if it worked or not. It will be good to revisit and see if I have any more clarity of vision over it.

Hugs to everyone who needs them. I know many of my friends are going through a tough time right now; my thoughts are with you, and I hope you find some peace and comfort in everyday tranquility.

Hugs. The reason you were in the second room was so you could hide. =) You didn't need to feel guilty about any feelings. We've also been a respite for introverts. The mead tasting- that was Deb's event and due to news folks were getting I thought the diversion was a good thing. We call that second room the introverts room. What we did was very typical of a big or small con. Just that this con was about 500 people tops.

Con is very hard on introverts, but they keep coming back. =) Logospilgrim is the introverts introvert. So is VJ.

I think with you rooming with hubby that you will have your quiet room. Just know you can come hang out with your buddies. =) Our door is always open for Teddy.

Pics are very slow going. I do not like the windows 7 photo manager. the cropping tool sucks. I am posting utube vids from others.

You got me at dark fic..SQUEEEEEEES.

Allergies- AllegraD makes me human.

Ah yes, dark, dark fic. Loads of anguish, remorse, guilt, anger, helplessness. He's gonna suffer. Oooooh, yes, he's gonna hurt.

Just saw Snarky's flikr - some great photos - loved the photobomb you did! ;)

I just haven't gone through them all yet. To be honest, losing my camera took the wind out of my sails a bit. I feel so frustrated that I didn't download off the camera at the end of each day (like I do at home - DUH), but I have the jump drives Sabrebabe did for us, and I will start going through them.

Thank you for making me feel so welcome - it really warms my heart that you'll always welcome me back! I'm sure we'll come round - we won't be strangers.

I have to finish up my strange little promptfest fic, then start making poor Severus bleed for my art. ;)

Oh, I sort of hope they didn't. I prefer the scene as it looks in my head, compared to what I actually look like...
