Well. That was a couple of weeks.
I think this was the worst concrud I’ve had in a long time. I was down for.. five days I think? I’m not kidding. I generated so much snot. I probably stretched it out some by not eating or drinking enough, but I really just didn’t have the energy to do anything besides hide under the covers where it was warm and wish I had someone who was obligated to come pet me despite being infectious.
Now to clean up a week’s worth of feeling like shit. I’ve stuffed a trash bag full of all the tissues I filled, next is taking out the pizza box with crusts and one unloved piece from two days ago, and dealing with my con suitcase, which is still where I left it when I got back from FC: open, partially blocking the apartment door.
FC was a really good time overall – despite some weird moments of feeling disconnected from the whole thing – but man this is a harsh fucking comedown.
Let’s see, what do I need to deal with… turns out the publisher does still have some Tarot decks left, so I need to get those; my printer’s written back, so I need to get those last little bits of the Rita 2 book done and the files off, and wasn’t I going to be posting the first pages of book 3 of Rita when I got back from the con? And then there’s dealing with the con in New Orleans I’m going to next week. God I’m barely recovered from the last one, I need to not schedule cons this close together.
Back on the Red Queen’s treadmill, girl. You got stuff to do.
I missed this post about you being sick. For future reference to save you from some downtime, eating dairy (milk,cheese, whey) with a mucus producing cold, makes it worse. The dairy magnifies snot production. That said, glad your among the living again.
