By 9:45am we had picked up my mother and were off to Fort Worth for the doll meetup. (I will go into it more over at the doll lj.) We ate about 11:15am at the nice restaurant at the Botanic Gardens and had a great time.
We left the Japanese gardens about 2:30pm and got back in time to rendezvous with our mutual friends who came into town to chat with rat and my mother's husband about laptops with WiFi before actually going out and purchasing one.
Three stores later, they finally made a decision. They also had to shop for stuff so the two pcs will be networked, get the WiFi box, get a new printer, blah blah blah.
I was REALLY fading badly by then.
Then we finally got to dinner about 7:30pm and I felt a little better after getting some torilla soup in me. I am not used to not eating at regular intervals anymore because of my health. I do a lot of mini meals instead of two or three big heavy meals.
Then it was back to the folks' house for them to try and get the WiFi box talking to the laptop (failed) and them discovering missing software and us eating the homemade peach cobbler our friends brought, made with peaches from their own trees.
It was about 11pm and I was now feeling some pain (I took a pain killer earlier in anticipation). We packed up the dolls and came home to the stinky apartment (more about that later) and finally crawled into bed about 12:30am.
Suffice to say, I am feeling it in my back (not so bad), in my shoulder sockets (pretty bad) and other bits and pieces (hips, neck, bad foot, etc.). I missed two and a half days of work last week because of the air poisoning so I cannot really stay home today and try to recover.
The bottom line is, though - I would NOT have been able to do this kind of day a month ago.
I will attempt to get caught up with everyone this evening.
Thanks: --> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I
wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!
--> to Talon, for sending me her fabulous fics, inspiring me with her writing to draw my first
illustration for a story and actually liking what I drew.
--> to Dasia, for her words of encouragement when drawing her original chara.
--> to Joules, a wonderful epic fic writer, for liking my art enough to want to post them with Talon's
and her own stories.
--> to Lutra, the other half of the epic team, for being so supportive.
--> to Jacque' & Becca Raddittzu, we met on eBay as bidder and sellers and now we are face-to-face
friends. You showed us the real DBZ with your fansubs. It's all your fault the house is full of
doujinshi! *LOL*
