State of the Texty: Con hangover edition
Got back home late yesterday and slept well in my own bed last night, but I'm still feeling the effects of the past week's worth of travel chaos. All in all, a very good experience, but man, I wore myself out. Way, way too much walking/standing/picking my way through crowds in thickly humid ATL heat. Also had a hard time getting properly hydrated because I'd so quickly sweat it back out again.
**
Rather enjoying my typical NW weather, now. The cloying mist thing makes me feel so very much at home. Kind of hope this isn't all there is to summer, though. We usually get at least a little bit of the clear-and-warmish stuff sometime in September. I'd kinda like to have at least one more BBQ or something.
**
Slightly disappointed at the moment because I heard that the job I thought I was going to have upon my return (as in, they were scheduling me for orientation for it) didn't go as it should have. Not sure exactly why. Agency did submit me for a couple of other gigs, though, so maybe one of those will work out. Have to admit that I'm just a little bit glad. I really wasn't quite ready to start working again right away. I need at least another week to take care of some last-minute sabbatical stuff and recover from the con.
I definitely need the work, though. Too many big-picture things coming up that require cash, and I'm the biggest untapped resource we have for that.
**
Kind of hate the catch-22 involved in this. I'm really, really dying to do that UK trip (either the end-of-October event or the Feb one), but there's no way we can afford it without me working. And if I'm working, I probably won't get the time off. Meh.
