shannon_aI've been veritably filled with energy today. I feel great and like I can easily do the tons of things I have piled up. There's any number of reasons for this. Being home is definitely one. Having expended so much energy over the last 6 days is oddly another, because expending much less energy to work is *much* easier. The con was invigorating too. Part of that was the players, and part of it was just break in routine. So, it was a lot of work, and it was very stressful beforehand, but I am feeling definitely plusses now.
This year I was much better than I've ever been about business cards. Too often you get home from a con and you have a pile of business cards, and don't know what to do with any of them. This year I instead wrote a note on the back of the business card on anyone who I wanted to follow-up with, because they were interested in ads, reviews, trades, or whatever else. Now I've been sitting down, going through those cards, and sending off the mail as appropriate. It's otherwise just too easy to lose those connections.
I have no light, yet I must see. Apparently my office light burned out while I was gone and we have no light bulbs in the house. Kimberly is going to her first new class tonight, but hopefully she'll be home early enough that we can do our grocery shopping for the remainder of the week and I can fiat lux.
Beyond that I'm scarcely going to know what to do with my free time. No GenCon preparation stress. No CCG stress. No work for 4 days this weekend. I've already written my blog for this Saturday. With energy+time I'm going to be so beside myself that I'm going to go create a new Internet site or something.
(And I just might ...)
