Yeah, it's been a while...

I've been a tad bit busy.
Thanksgiving was the usual affair - lunch at Lewis's mom's, then dinner at my mom's. Lewis spent most of the time at his mother's trying to fix her computer so it'll work with her digital camera, with mixed success; I got some stuff written and then took a nap. Got more written at my mother's, though I was less social than I like to be and in fact rather pissy for a while. I'm not pleased with that, but at least I figured it out and walked away before it got too bad...
Left my mother's and drove to Hallam to pick up
giselle0002 and
meradudd. Then down to Timonium for Darkover. Spent a while in Jae's room talking to Tangwystyl and Talan, then went to bed. Two connecting rooms with a king-sized bed each works out pretty well...
Got the art show set up the next morning with minimal difficulties. The usual entertainment there.
meradudd showed up in a muu-muu to make a point. It was _awful_.
Trying to remember that afternoon. Little success. Eventually we went food with Daniel de Lincolia, which was quite a bit of fun. Up too late talking. Not enough sleep. But then, it's a con.
Got up insanely late on Saturday what with one thing and another. Long long meal talking to various people. Went to a panel on writing and getting published that was highly useful. Did some shopping, talked to Kirsten at Fabric Dragon for a while. Bought a new tarot deck, since the one I bought a couple weeks ago just doesn't feel right.
Dinner in Jae's room, then the Chowders (great as usual), then the Hallelujah Chorus. Sang along for the very first time ever. Didn't do well; told
blaisedec I was standing next to him next year. He's got a good strong tenor, easy to follow. I did stand next to Tangwystyl, which was amusing. Lots of women in the tenors.
Stayed up way late again talking to
meradudd, which I don't get to spend nearly enough time with...he left for the airport the next morning and I slept in way too late. We got checked out and tore down the art show, then Rikk scolded me (gently) for _buying_ one of his pieces when of course he would have just _given_ me one...bwah! He also wants to read my novel when it's done. *blushes*
Oh, yeah, breakfast out somewhere with Lewis and
giselle0002 in there somewhere, too.
Then
dr_zrfq held a decision meeting with lots of people whose user things I don't want to deal with right now, most of which I napped through. Then dinner at a happygood Indian place, and the long ride home.
The next few days are a blur of me being behind on sleep, generally not feeling good, failing to write, and dealing with a selection of relationship issues. Oh, and work. We had last weekend off, thank all the gods, and mostly slept though we got a few things done. Baking occurred which is always happy. Got a bit more writing done, though I'm not happy with my progress, and did a lot of market research. Somewhere in there I got ideas for three more short stories, which can interlock though they don't have to.
Long long talk with Lewis last night that I think was pretty productive. Off today and tomorrow; tomorrow night is the shower my mom insisted on having for me even though I'm already bloody married. Well, it's a free dinner and I'm bringing
giselle0002 to keep me sane so I think I'll survive. Company dinner Saturday night, and I don't think we have anything else planned for the weekend.

He also wants to read my novel when it's done.
He's not the only one. Hint, hint.
Then dinner at a happygood Indian place...
Gotta do that one again next year. Especially if we're not dying to go home at the same time...

Ok, I'll forgive you for no novel updates for two whole weeks -- and of course now there's Christmas to deal with. But just another chapter or two? Please?
