Migraine :(
Gone now, though. And not atypical. I think I'm allergic to something out here. Plus, the wind-down puts me at risk as always for a post-stress reaction. Oh well. An hour's nap is a small price to pay.
Yesterday was my big day -- panel, reading, plus being all public figure-y at the Tiptree Ceremony (I was a judge this year). More details later; right now I will just note that Matt Ruff is a total sweetie. He also wrote the perfect speech to explain why it's OK to give a speculative fiction award to Set This House In Order, which I appreciate because it means I don't have to explain it any more :)
I achieved my Sprecher root beer dose at dinner last night. I am so pleased that it's now carried locally.
Now it's all afterglow. I have one day left in Madison, and I head home tomorrow afternoon after a small book-shopping orgy; I will also probably replace my shoulder bag.
Many people this weekend commented on how much more hair I had than last year. Little do they know I just got it cut two weeks ago...
