Still purple
Apr. 24th, 2014 11:22 amI've had an awesome holiday; both at the con and catching up with folks later on. Time alters during a Swancon and it seemed that I was in the experience for longer than two days. Of course, one packs in more conversations and events than would normally happen in one's average month. I'm still riding on that and hope I don't crash later!
I went to see a movie on Tuesday (half price day) which I normally can't do because that's a workday and then there was the catch-up with Swanconners at the traditional Wednesday night gathering in Northbridge. Wednesday I also had to do parent-wrangling because M is still recovering from hip-pinning and needs groceries delivered [detailed down to the precise brand required] and other such jobs as bed-making. Which are then supervised, also to the nth degree.
I got my revenge by beating M twice at Scrabble, which used to be a rare occurrence but which I am managing more these days. M is using the "sick" defence but hey, I'll take my victories where I can get them.
Today; doing a groceries run and cleaning up around here, then, with luck, a game of GURPS Alternate Realities this evening. Real life is overrated.
