Eseme's Den

Tuesday, my eye ached. Wednesday, it was clear I might have pinkeye. Thursday I saw a doctor, and was ordered out of my workplace (after seeing the doctor). Friday I was out of work again.

Today I am feeling tons better, and have no eye pain, just in time to shovel tons of snow.

Life, it is crazy!

I am still weeks behind on LJ... sadly.

I hope everyone else in the New England region is all right and has power. We do, and thankfully were able to find someone to plow the end of our driveway, so I only shoveled out the front door to the carport, and the cars inside the carport. The one person who has parked outside in the driveway... had a car totally free of snow, thanks to the wind.

Wow, djinni makes amazing art. It's fun, and based off of the costume I invented for PortCon last year. Just WOW.

Also, because aldersprig is also awesome, I get the art, as a Christmas present. I will squee more when it arrives.

This made my week, and possibly my year (it has only been 6 weeks of the year). I got sick briefly around Christmas, Angel got sick at New Year's, his little boy has been sick twice since then, and Angel is sick again. So things have been kinda miserable, with the occasional bit of fun (getting together with friends to play WoW cards, etc).

So, that's why I haven't been around much, but I am reading all your journals and commenting and such.

I was in Rochester on Sunday. Just Sunday, and the day was very full. But oh, it was great!

I had brunch in Ithaca with lissa_dora, which was yummy and included fun conversation. That really kept up all day, and I really loved that because I don't get to just talk to people as much as I would like (what with not having close friends in town).

Then we arrived in Rochester, and after a lightning fast trip to the mall (she shops like a guy and has mall geography- it was a thing of pure precision), we got to visit moriden. I've really missed my panther, and this made me very happy.

Then we drove to jilliko and netbard's house. Changeling! I have not LARPed since May, and the opportunity to do so was just what I needed. I took my concept from another Changeling: The Lost and had the fun of dumping a bunch of XP on her. And LARPing in a non-college setting was so much nicer- we could eat, drink, and be merry with much more ease. And what food! Oh it was great.

Sadly, I began to get something like a migraine in the middle of game. I didn't feel too bad, and certainly didn't want to miss any game. By the time we left though, I had a problem. I'd eaten a bunch of rich food (I love good food) and had a headache that included some sensitivity to light and sound and a bit of nausea. And that was before I got in a car. I get motion sickness in anything that moves, save a train. I have some medication that helps, and some extremely effective wristband things (which I wore on a bus ride earlier in the week and was fine).

But, well... the motion of the car just did me in. *sigh* I feel very guilty about that, especially as I got a brief glimpse of where I was and it seemed to be Twelve Corners. I spent most of the ride with my eyes closed. It was the most discomfort I've ever experienced over such a long period of time while traveling.

But the day I had was well worth it. Just wonderful on so many levels.

And today! I ended up staying the night at lissa_dora's since what should have been a two hour drive turned into three and a half. And after work today...

My art is here!

I ordered prints from haikujaguar and they arrived! I first asked for Forgotten Garden, which is lovely and ethereal. I also got a few mini-prints off her brand new printer which produces vivid colors. And there was a sketch! One that I will have to find online to figure out which sketch I ended up with a print of (there are MANY on her site). It's an elf, in a library!

So Much Goodness!

So. First, I have spent the last few days being sick. I called out of work yesterday. This was not fun at all.

Second, I've just posted about my hair again. It's been a while, and if anyone new (or anyone who has been here for a while and missed the previous invites) wants to read me blathering about my hair, comment and I'll add you to the filter.

Third, here is a new, cool, icon (thanks Sonya!).

And fourth, the meme is back (they never die... zombie memes!)

The question game!
