Just Call Me Vector
Mar. 16th, 2008 07:57 pmSo, I'm back from Lunacon after a little sidetrip on the way back (we missed one of the exits). Overall it was a good con . . . except for the fact that on the way down to the con I started getting a headache. I thought it was just stress, the long drive, etc. But no. The headache got worse. I'm not one to typically reach for any kind of pill or lozenge or anything like that. I just suffer through it. But this was bad enough that I actually asked ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pbray if she had some aspirin or something. I chugged two of those but that didn't seem to make much of a difference. So I started eating oranges and drinking orange juice and all that. I was hoping to get away with just the headache. But Saturday brought the onset of a cough. Not a sore throat, just a cough if I breathed the wrong way. The cough I could live with, but everyone time I coughed it felt like my head had exploded. And Sunday . . . add in the congestion. I broke down and got some horribly expensive Sudafed at the hotel. The first two of those didn't seem to help much, but the second two I took on the way home seemed to work.
So yes, you can blame all of your con crud on me . . . although I happen to know that there were a few other people at the con who were sick besides me. But I'm likely the source vector for some of the crud. I'm just hoping it clears up before I climb onto the plane and head to Seattle for Norwescon.
But enough of the sickness and snot and stuff! I got to see tons of people, including the usual posse (who claimed tables at the bar for pretty much all of Saturday evening, with people dropping in and out going to panels and signings and whatnot; oh, and someone paid for my second white russian . . . I owe you . . . or I got it for free, one or the other). Also got to see some of the UConn group that I met last year. As for panels, I had some good ones . . . and some not so good ones. I won't name names. No, no! I refuse to name names! But some people need to not cut other people off, and perhaps let others on the panel speak on occassion, especially, say, the guest of honor.
But overall, a good con. Great to see everyone who was there! Now to start prepping for Norwescon.
PS--It's unlikely that I will be able to catch up on the past few days of my LJ friends list. So if there's something of importance I MUST see, just let me know.
