Collwen- Woman of varied worlds

Mom- she's out of the hospital and back in the nursing home to continue her rehab from the hip surgery, having had her gall bladder removed and no further complications! Thank the ever loving gods!!

Job- First day was today. Listened in on phone calls. Typical Help Desk first day stuff. Hopefully it won't take the usual 4-6 weeks to get my badge because of where the bathroom is I have to borrow a badge or get escorted just to get to the bathroom, much less back into the room we're training in.

Council of Five Nations- This coming weekend. Damn it, but it's the same weekend as Albacon (so I miss seeing people who are coming up for it like purpura, miss seeing Anne McCaffery, but I'll be able to see Eric Flint this Thursday at Flights of Fantasy. At Council I'll be running a bit of Living Forgotten Realms (D&D 4e RPGA campaign), and maybe some Living Greyhawk (D&D 3.5 RPGA campaign), at Council.

Podcasts- I'm in the process of getting together the "Story So Far" for the next The Aurora Hunter chapter set up and recorded. I also submitted myself for a future contest for Horror Addicts. I seem to have left an impression on Emerian, the host for Horror Addicts after emailing her about Forever Knight....

So, we got in the rental car and headed to Steve's house. I double checked the directions, and after a phone call confirmed that we had gone past Steve's exit by over 20 miles when we had the accident.

We got directions to backtrack and got to Steve's house, picked him up, and we got to Gettysburg around 1:30 pm. The next slot was at 2pm.

Due to slots running late, I ended up not eating anything other than some pretzels, Combos (R), and soda until James' game ended early and he ran to the local KFC.

The con is very good and I plan on going there again next year. Goeff mods are unusual, and I got the 3 newest Keoland mods under my belt.

I got home with Jon and Tersha at 3-somthing AM on Monday morning, to find a "move it or we tow" notice on my car.

So, I strained my back digging out the car. I'm on muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory meds for a few days.

and I'm tired. More to follow.

It was great to see auntiero, rombarro, and unexpectedly seeing mea_bold and her husband!
