jenettI am home again from 4th Street Fantasy Convention, which was a really lovely thing. (I expect to see continuing people tomorrow through Wednesday, for people still in town who do not normally live here, which is also nice.) But I am very tired now, and felt that coming home was the better part of good sense, given the phone interview tomorrow, and the fact that I will sleep vastly better in my own bed. (Though I can highly recommend aedifica as a roommate, though that failed to surprise me.)
I did come home to find that:
a) my reimbursement check for health care expenses had arrived (as getting it out *before* my last paycheck from [school] was ideal)
and
b) that my author copies of the 2011 Witches' Companion Almanac from Llewellyn (in which I have an article on finding Pagan communities online) had arrived.
It is my second published thing, but I still went EEEEEEE a lot. (And like the first one, I quite like the art work. I did spot two editing errors that I don't think were mine originally, but I haven't pulled out the draft I sent them, but given that I wrote the article in late July of 2009, and it is now a year later, I think I hit the 'these are useful places to go looking for online interactions' fairly well. (I was sort of worried that some Major New Thing would suddenly crop up in the intervening year, as online stuff can do.)
The September 2011 almanac piece is also mine.
More stuff on 4th Street when I have more brain, which is sort of my refrain of the weekend. (But I did manage to knit a dishcloth with a snail on it while listening to various panels, so I have added experience points to my Knitting ability, which is nice. There's only one place I really messed up (which is not noticeable, as it's in the border) The actual pattern is fairly simple, but still involves counting, which I have not previously been very good at doing while other things are going on.
But there were many nice people, and many nice meals, and all sorts of other good things.
