Life of Riley
I dunno how Riley’s life is, but mine is pretty good right now.
I just got back from OmegaCon, where I had a lovely relaxing weekend. I recombined my bottle and my flask. And I had almost 3/4 of a bottle of scotch left. Imagine that. Of course, the “Apple Pie” on Friday night, and the honey wine on Saturday night, served to make sure my blood wouldn’t freeze at normal temperatures.
I was lucky to get a room – sadly, it was a smoking room. (Next year is smoke-free – yay!) I was prepared, and brought a spray bottle of Nature’s Miracle odor eliminator to spray all over the carpet, and some odor crystals. They worked well enough that the room wasn’t bad. But as I unpacked here at home I did notice a little bit of a tobacco smell on my jacket that sat in the room all weekend.
I got there too early, and my room wasn’t ready yet. With a little encouragement, I threw on my swim suit and went and hung out in the pool for a while. Good thing I did, since I never got back into the pool all weekend. There just never seemed to be time.
I did stuff. I wore pajamas all weekend. It’s all kind of a pleasant blur. Some highlights included the fire pit, quiet time with friends, hanging out in my room and navel-gazing, and not using a computer *at all* all weekend. (Okay, I cheated and used my phone. But that hardly counts.)
I got a new kilt! Techdragon got my kilt done in time to get it to me and it’s awesome.
And I remember at least some names of people. Now to see if I can keep those in my brain long enough to use them again.
