Catching up

Good morning, all.

My apologies for leaving everyone in suspense about Starr. I’ve pretty much had no Internet access since my last post. (It wasn’t down, I have just had higher-priority matters to handle. Given how high-priority I usually make the Internet, that’s saying something. But anyway.)

Starr is back from the hospital and is doing quite well – well enough to wear me out this weekend staying up late and getting up early. She’ll probably be back at work tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest – I think she’s pretty excited about it. Her doctors say that her condition has probably been present since she was little and masked by other issues, so her treatment might actually leave her healthier than ever. Part of the priority issues from the last week was me being a bit of a jerk – I’ve not been handling events too well the last fortnight, and I needed a bit of a talking-to – but I think I have it under control now. Saturday night we were having a good time together, and she looked happier than she has in a long time. (The hew haircut’s darn nice too!)

I’m preparing for Technicon – as I’ve said, I refuse to do seat-of-the-pants this year – but just last night got a new schedule change, and am trying to adjust for that. (I actually agree with the reasoning behind it – I’m just laughing at Murphy.) There will be a post with further discussion of the TCon panels under my Lifestyle filter. I’m kinda hoping to get a little gaming in this year with jsciv – last year I was so busy, I barely laid eyes on the man. It’ll be awesome getting to see everyone who can attend.

    I’ll see that you get a thrashing with a cooked lasagna noodle!

    But Seriously, We are just glad that Starr is on the mend. I know that there are several people who are anxious to meet her at some point.

    See you this weekend!!

    Hugs

    I am currently debating bringing the WoW board game or just shorter games — given the weird scheduling restrictions imposed by a closing time I have to figure out if I want to deal with the hassle of 3,000 bits followed by an hour of rules before a 6 hour game or if I want to just bring smaller games.

    I got a play in of Starcraft this weekend and was thinking of bringing it because it’s supposed to be shorter….. but it’s not really.

    In the end, though, I’ll have plenty of short games and I’m sure that we can if nothing else have a quick Race for the Galaxy.

    any of the SJ games would go over really well!!

    I’ve been hoping to try Starcraft soon, and I know Rain is looking for a copy right now. But if it’s too much for TCon, I’d understand. I like the WoW board game, but it’s rare that I can set aside 5 hours for it.

    Looking forward to whatever you bring!

    Micheal,

    I completely understand where you’re coming from. There is nothing worse than trying to handle a loved one’s illness while trying to deal with one’s own life. I have had my dressing down on more than one occasion. The strange thing is that after being reprimanded I realized that it had happened because Ginny loves me as much as I love her.
