r_grayjoyI finally made it home this evening, and by then I was rather soggy and tired. The foul weather had things all b0rked, so my bus left NY late and arrived in Philly even more late. When I got in, I said hello to Ari, got out of my wet clothes, unpacked my stuff, ate something hot, and promptly passed out for a couple of hours. Now I'm wide awake again and trying to catch up with the weekend report. Because there is far too much awesome to not report, even if no one cares but me. So there. ;P
So the aforementioned cold? Was so mild that I took one dose of cold medicine before going to sleep on Friday night and... that was it. There was only some lingering disconnected, floaty feeling on Saturday, and all evidence of illness was completely gone on Sunday. Wow. Apparently I developed an immune system sometime in the last couple of years!
In other words, I was feeling good -- though a bit spacey (sorry, all!) -- when I went to the Lunch of Epic Win at Rosa Mexicano. Whentwilightsorcery and I arrived, everyone else was already there (sorry about that also, all!). "Everyone else" being bethbethbeth, acatnamedeaster, and kelly_chambliss and family. As eeyore9990 put it, that's a whole lot of awesome at one table!!
I'd metbethbethbeth briefly before, but I'd never had an opportunity to really sit down and talk with her, so I was looking forward to that. And I was excited beyond all reason to meet acatnamedeaster and kelly_chambliss. And everyone was just fantastic and brilliant and fun, and the conversation went all over the place, and abjlfqhiofpaf!!! ::flail:: Also, such a gathering would not be complete if we (well, okay, mostly I) didn't scandalize the restaurant staff. But hey, they should mind their own business, right?! ::nod::
Saturday night was mellow.twilightsorcery had work to do, and I had a snupin_ldws drabble to write. That drabble, by the way, did not want to be written and fought me tooth and nail. I did finally get something written and turned in, though, and hopefully it's not pathetic enough to get me kicked off the island this week. :P
Today I got up after far too little sleep (the drabble's fault!), packed up, and headed out. I met up with one more not-fannish-but-geeky friend for lunch, then trudged through the rain to get to my bus pick-up point. Three hours later I walked into my apartment and was greeted by a very enthusiastic dog. Hee.
In conclusion, huge thanks to everyone who made my weekend amazing. ::hugs all around:: ♥ ♥ ♥
