Art & other things

tucker-draws-things did another one of my dragon characters for me last night! Sometimes he does $1 Dragon nights for his players and I was lucky enough to squeeze into the last slot.

( Here is a pretty dragon. )

The rest of my life is a TERRIBLE WHIRLWIND of WORK and PACKING. I hate packing. I'm excited to travel, but oh man am I ever already exhausted by putting things inside other things and then putting them in a big thing that is going to go in the luggage compartment of a plane. Concerned about going over the weight limit even though I've literally never done it. And trying to get all the work done before I leave combined with the fatigue caused by all the damn snow happening means that when I get home I am kind of too dead to pack.

Also still having issues with the Sprint signal on my iPad not actually working, but as far as Sprint can tell it's getting service, so in conclusion: I do not have time to deal with this and will take care of it later. I am too busy desperately hoping that my shampoo, replacement 1 piece bathing suit and glasses wipes (unfortunately my glasses are still Disaster Scratched because I had no time to get new ones in time to leave!!!) actually show up on time, since nobody's going to be able to mail me anything while I'm gone.

But if I get through this exhaustion, I just get to get on a plane, and go away for a week with 8 of my favorite people. I will immensely miss my dog -- who will be at training camp, and I really hope he likes it because two weeks is a long time! -- and I will probably miss my husband a little bit too, I guess. :)

Just right now, my entire body hurts and my eyes are crossing and I want to lie down and die, and instead I have to go home and deal with MORE PACKING, importantly finding all of the stuff I needed that has gone missing. But hey, the dragon at the top of this post is great!

ETA: I got a request to post a link, so if you want to donate to Trip's and my fundraiser for the pancreatic cancer walk you can do that here. We love you no matter whether you do or not! Yes, feel free to link it around.

Awkwardly I will be at NatCon through the 27th so I may be super tired for that too, but so long as it isn't as freezing as last year's walk we'll be golden.
