the_rckI ended up coming home before Scott's game. I was headachy and exhausted. I knew I could keep myself going by eating pretty constantly, but it didn't seem worthwhile. If I'd stayed, Scott would have felt that he needed to come home as soon as he could. Of course, he then came home as soon as he could anyway.
I need to figure out a better way to do the convention next year so that I'm not too exhausted to do anything the whole time. I spent all of my spoons on running my games, and I enjoyed that, but if we're going to get a hotel room and pay for the convention, it would be nice if I did more than what I managed. I only played two hours of games that I wasn't running. There were 15 hours of games on Friday and 16 on Saturday. I'm not sure what the hours were today. I ran 6 hours and played 2.
I think the key thing is how terrible the week before the convention was. One way to go would be to stop running rpgs so that I have less preparation required, but... Running an rpg is the primary point of me going in terms of things I enjoy at the convention. Maybe if I write the scenario in January/February so that I don't end up in the looming deadline writer's block hell again?
Getting the scenario written ought not to have been the huge stressor that it turned into. I just kept having things I needed to get done that had higher priority and took longer than I expected. I need to remember that I can't compress the time necessary to write something by taking out the down time in the middle. That down time is part of the process. My brain will take its weekends off because they're necessary, so not scheduling to include them...
Cordelia and I got some leaves off the lawn and into the bin for pick up. We could have gotten more if Scott had picked up some bags. He prefers not to spend the money on the bags the city accepts and just to use the bin. I'd kind of like to just get them all gone at once, but he's usually the one who does all of the work.
I unpacked most of our things, and I'm running laundry. After that's done, I'll run the dishwasher. The sheets need changing, and I've got some forms I ought to fill out, but those are for tomorrow.
Including the writing for the UCon game, I'm at about 13.5K words for November so far. I didn't sign up for NaNo and am not going to spend the month focused on a single project. I'd like to finish my DCU mini bang even though I missed my posting date, and I need to write my Yuletide assignment. I know what I need to do for both and will probably give the latter priority.
