Really, I'm here.

I think I am Very Susceptible to changes in weather during the spring. I can think of no other reason for once again waking up with a sinus migraine that made me (1) feel exhausted even tho' I had gotten a very respectable amount of sleep over the weekend, and (2) made me again think longingly of self-trepanation. Anyway, I am working from home today. Which means much hot tea and snuggling with the kitties while editing tech docs.

Norwescon was ... Norwescon. I had a lovely time at my tea party (thank you to everyone who attended!), the panels were fun (if somewhat sparsely attended), and I got (quickly!) visit with people I hardly ever get to talk to. That was nice. However, going to Norwescon still feels like taking a time machine back to 1995, which is a little unnerving.

Congratulations to the various award nominees! Kij Johnson, Cherie Priest, and the Girl Genius crew have all been nominated for Hugos! Gail Carriger has been nominated for a Campbell! Splendid news, and I'm thrilled for all of them.

Oh, speaking of Gail Carriger: I finished Changeless (the second book in the Parasol Protectorate series) over the weekend, and AAAAAUUGGGH! I don't know if I will be able to last until September when the third book comes out. Changeless was just as fun as Soulless, and ended with a cliffhanger that left me making squeaky noises of dismay and impatience. ::twitch::


(As predicted, reading Changeless and watching Sherlock Holmes has left me craving more bustles. Go on, look surprised.)

This coming weekend! The celadon CD release party! The Faith & the Muse show! Oh, and I need to get a bunch of writing done. Busy, busy, busy.

I adored Changeless too, and I feel the same way about the wait.

Though it wasn't asked for, I offer up a clicky link of coveting that may interest you. (http://growhousegrow.com/collection/view/?pattern=nellie&view=wide&color=boudoir)

Feel better soon good lady of the manners!

You should do what I do (and my hubbin & spawn) -- as soon as the weather network starts to spew forth the nastys of the weather & unstable barometric pressure --- time for a decongestant!!! Even one of the gross up the nose misters works - I just do it before I go to bed.... it REALLY helps!!!
