From Saturday at Steamcon

What I wore:



Yes, I recently made a bat chiffon overskirt. The back panel of the skirt is covered with tiers of bat chiffon ruffles.

What I blew all my spending money on (spending money that was not set aside for the tattoo!):



A necklace made by Professor Maelstromme! (clicky-link!) Antique lace, a hand-painted image, and an antique straight razor. I've wanted something from Professor Maelstromme for AGES, and was delighted to finally meet her in the Steamcon vendors' room.

Alas, there is no trip to Steamcon for me today: the past week was ridiculously busy, and I am still not very good at pacing myself. The Lyme disease and gift-with-purchase maladies have made it clear that I am STAYING HOME today. Ugh. But I had fun on Friday and Saturday!

It was good to meet you briefly (I was there with Grace/snowcoma) :)

My fibro and RA are kicking my ass. The only way I was able to do the con was by virtue of lots and lots of vicodin, and I am freaking paying for it now. I sympathise, muchly. <3

There you are! I was trying to remember your name/LJ handle! It was lovely to meet you.

Ugh, stupid medical conditions that make us pay for fun times. I am so unamused by them.

Oh, tell me about it. I met a couple people there and I don't think I would remember their names if I hadn't gotten business cards / had stuff to write them down on. XD

I knooooow. :( And the people who try to say that these conditions don't get worse over time? LIE. I was amazed I was able to handle dancing for a little while at the DJ thing but, gah, it is requiring copious amounts of vicodin to handle the after-effects. Totally worth it, though!

At least the main cons I intend to go to are at opposite times of the year so I can spread out the pain a little more. Do you go to Norwescon, out of curiosity? :)
