HOME

Have gotten @elegantmess-southernbelle safe home, and got back here despite the deluge that was damned near flooding the Beltway, and certainly had minor flooding on the off ramp I needed to take. There were a lot of people who took the option of off on the shoulder with hazards on to wait out the worst. (I’m pretty sure I’d have panicked or otherwise not have made it home if I’d stopped at that point, hence not doing the same thing myself.)

The rain did slack off after I got home, and once it was passed, I fetched my new hair cleaning stuff and my pillows and left the former downstairs while I took the latter up and fetched clean clothes as well so I could have a shower. My hair smells remarkably less of vinegar than the initial attempt – I suspect it was a combination of both not enough dilution for me (1:1 does not work, 2:1 does), and trying to rinse without running water.

And now I am in my bed (still need to put sheets back on it and change my pillow cases, but I’ll do that shortly), and nomming on the second half of my sandwich from this morning, and trying to decide how much I must do tomorrow and how much I can put off until Monday on the unloading (must do: get the rest of my stuff out of dad’s car. probably on mom’s list of must do tomorrow (as a group): everything).

I will have some reblogs of fic and/or art tomorrow, and the queue will be running on my reblog blog, but all my new writing over Pennsic was long hand, so none of it is ready to post.

Ok, so they’re not all of my face, but I really like my hair, and that is one of my more work-intensive ways of putting it up. And it takes two hair ties and two hair forks to work.

@poplitealqueen is tagging everyone for six selfies from 2016, and I’m pretty much good with the same idea – anyone who wants to do this can consider themselves tagged.

(I was surprised I had six. Sorta. Mostly.)

Bedtime 13 Jul 16

It’s been a long two weeks, and it was a mostly uneventful trip home. I spent more of today sleeping than not, and am about ready to pass out again, because I’ve been short sleep these last two weeks, and last night involved almost none.

I hope y’all are doing well, and I’m sorry I missed giving out hugs in the last two weeks.

So, hugs for everyone who wants one, and a good night’s sleep, and a good day doing whatever you’re doing.

Ganbatte!!!

Thank you both! 🙂

Didn’t have glowsticks after all, so there was no silly games with glowsticks. Shall make sure of them before Pennsic next year.

Said I’d post pictures of my tired and frazzled self at the end, so, below the cut is me, and is also the two strings worth of fandom themed cords, with a few gaps. Shall have better pictures with labels after Pennsic.

Meanwhile – G’night all, and I hope you sleep well when you get there.

Tired me backlit.

Star Wars themed braids plus bell and sign.

Avengers, Harry Potter, Star Trek, and a couple other themed braids.
