Yesterday was miserable outside even with a breeze coming up off the water. Outside was a place that you didn’t want to be and it is not going to be much better today.

Almost passed out at bowling last night. I haven’t been 100% for a couple of days. Been feeling a little off and walking around the city just jumped that quite a bit. I tried to stay hydrated but I think I didn’t do a good job of it. So today is going to be a lot about staying hydrated and cool.

Caroline has bounced back from our visit in the city. I have had her keep a sports bottle of water with her while playing and drinking from it. I can keep an eye on how much she drank by the numbers on the side of the bottle. She did pretty well.

Brain fog must go away. I have too much to do.

May have sorted out how I am going to do my prop for DragonCon. So the order of things is the uniform, the prop, and then everything else.

41 days to DragonCon! I am going to be posting this every day so I can really see where I am rather than keeping it an the abstract

I got my preliminary schedule from DragonCon. It’s busy but not overly busy. It does tell me a couple of things I need to bring with me for various panels. I am checking about a couple of panels I requested to be on. There is one I just might hop on if the panelists will let me.

I may take Caroline swimming today.

Football isn’t solved. Not by a long shot. I am seeing half a season if that.

Ok worked out where I need to go and when. I can do all the errands before noon.

Been listening to a lot of soundtracks and Broadway shows. For a while I wasn’t listening to music but I seem to be back to it.

Peter is having his usual adventures at SDCC. You can read about it at his blog. Someone asked me if I have a problem with my husband going off to SDCC without me. The answer is No. I go to enough conventions during the year that I have my convention fix. Also SDCC is a business convention for him as is NYCC. A lot of the professionals there are lining up work for the next year or so. I have done SDCC and know exactly what kind of animal it is. Also Caroline is not ready for a convention of that size. I told her we would re-examine the issue when she got to double digits which will be in 2012. Yes, you read that right. Caroline will be 10 next year.

I am hoping that we have new My Little Pony episodes soon. I am getting truly sick of the old ones.

I have two special presents happening on my Birthday this year. The last episode of the current season of Torchwood and the release of X-Men First Class on DVD.

I am grateful for “air cool” as Miss Daisy called it. I had a lot of fun stage managing that show a number of years ago.

It's really special when releases and such fall on a birthday:)

And I know what you mean about hoping a kids show gets new episodes. My youngest is 4 which apparently means you like to watch things more than once to understand them. I'm really getting tired of the Clifford song!

I'm 46 and I watch things more than once to understand them. I've watched Game of Thrones at least four times already ;)

Caroline can watch things to the point that I "lose" the DVD for awhile just to give me a break.

Speedy and hydrated recovery!!

And wow, 10! She's truly growing up!

I admit, I'm envious of my SDCC friends, but I'm also hoping to go in 2012, and yeah, it's a hugely overwhelming show.

Well we have a year and almost a half before she is in double digits.

I just talked to Warren Spector (video gaming gawd) and he's a liitle overwhelmed by the crowds this year.

Peter is taking it in stride.

I was actually wondering if I could ask your advice on making a costume. I can make it myself, but I'd love an expert's suggestions, if you have a chance.
