RTBTCKI Home for a bit and then off again
The flight back was smooth. Getting to the airport and getting checked in worked out. The car service was there to pick us up. We got home and collapsed for a couple of hours before picking up some of the threads of living and starting to return to mundane reality.
Today is about unpacking and putting away this convention. Caroline is going to do laundry. I am going to be cleaning and taking care of some things that must be done like getting edible food back into the house. We have both agreed that we need to go to the gym today and get back into the swing of that. I have decided to start again with legs since I still need to give the tattoo some time to heal.
Over all the tattoo is doing fine. The only irritation is in the areas where he had to pack in the black around the neck and a couple of other spots. I am being very careful and keeping it clean and lotioned up. Susan Ellison was kind enough to give me an airplane sized container of lotion to use on it while I was traveling which was wonderful.
The cats are running hot and cold on us. They go between ‘oh we love you and we are glad to see you’ to ‘you left us alone so we are going to leave you alone’. Right now Inky is curled up at my hip and butting her head against my arm to get scritches so I think we are OK. Fig spent the night curled up with Caroline in her room.
I want to publically thank Janet, Becky and the rest of the Guest Relations crew for all their help to us during the convention. The words above and beyond are so often used but these people were the really deal on that. From the time we got there until we left, they made sure we had what we needed when we needed it.
I also want to publically thank the Artist Alley Crew for all their help as well. The Artist Alley Crew made sure that the area they were in charge of was neat and tidy and that all the artists had what they needed including people to watch their tables when off at panels and the like and some seriously magnificent crowd control for various artists lines.
Special shout-out to Michael D and the Marvel gang who were bloody but not unbowed after the convention. They did amazing considering the conditions they were working under and the odd spanner in the works that had them thinking on their feet the whole way. I am glad that the bag I made worked out so well.
And a special thanks to Michael D and Blake for something that didn’t happen but I do know how hard you both tried and wanted you to know that I appreciate that you even tried. I told you both that ‘not going to happen’ was a perfectly acceptable answer.
I am still sorting through my thoughts about the convention and will probably being randomly talking about things that happened as they come to mind.
Now back to reality and what needs to get done next, which would be the marathon of puppet building before Dragon Con. Along with one or two other projects that Caroline and I would like to have done before Dragon Con.
But first the larder and the gym await my attention.
I am grateful to everyone who helped us at Disneyland. Made it a magical experience.
