Back from Eastercon

[julesjones]

Got home yesterday evening, an hour earlier than expected owing to fortuitous connections. Still managed to go to bed later than intended on account of "too tired to go to bed", and slept for ten hours apart from the bit where I woke at 6 with a horrendous dehydration headache and had to go downstairs to find a mug of water and some aspirin.

I mostly had a good time, saw several friends, bought some expensive-but-worth-it hand-dyed yarn from Lola of Third Vault Yarns, and got to type on a real Enigma machine visiting from Bletchley Park. Not sure if I'll manage to write a report before it fades.

The migraine did have some impact, but mostly it was just needing to pace myself very carefully and spend a fair bit of time resting in my room. I'm glad the medication side-effects were sorted out in time for me to go.

I'm glad that it all went well. :)

I sounds as though you had a good time. Other friends complained that the hotel was very hot, so you did well. I'm really glad you got the medication sorted out because those side effects were really scary.

Thanks. :-)

It was warm in areas without airconditioning, but my definition of "hot" is somewhat skewed from the typical Brit by my possession of an Australian passport, so I generally found it pleasantly warm.

I'm glad too. :-) Current meds will sooner or later have side-effects that mean I'll have to stop, but they are merely unpleasant rather than scary. And they're reasonably effective, as I only needed to wear my sleeping mask on the train for about an hour or so when we were on the sunny side and getting a lot of light/dark flickering, and was fine after that.

Very glad we got to catch up this time, and that the migraine didn't stop you from enjoying yourself.
