getting caught up

I just got caught up updating [livejournal.com profile] murphyw's journal with notes from phone calls and the journal entry he last sent home and stuff.

As for me, I came home really up from my trip to Texas. It was wonderful to hang with [livejournal.com profile] eposia and [livejournal.com profile] skzbrust for a relaxing weekend, and the con was fun too. As to the former it was the first time I'd met [livejournal.com profile] eposia in the flesh - she is even more of a delight in person than she is online and I hope the connection we've made there lasts a long time.

I also got in a nice smoffing lunch with Kim Kofmel and Mark and their friend Shai - slabs of ribs to eat, lots of smoffing to keep our mouths busy the rest of the time. And more ribs in the airport on the way home!

I was really proud of myself for staying healthy and rested all weekend, then came home for a couple days and this morning could tell I am starting to fight a cold. Was tempted to just stay in bed, but I had a free pilates lesson to cash in on, and so went to a 9 am appointment to learn how to breathe the pilates way and what sort of flying you can do on a Reformer.

Work was tiring but I went out for a nice lunch with some colleagues and had Chicen Lemon Rice soup, which I love, and I came home a touch early (for me). Laura cooked dinner while I typed up Bill's journal, and I've just gotten caught up on that and am retiring to my room.

Oh, but first, my geek note of the day. As a treat for myself I stopped on the way home to get The Chicago Manual of Style. I am now going to go curl up in bed with it.


Night!

I've got a copy of Words into Type, third edition, on my shelf at work, along with Garner's and Chicago 14th. Fascinating book.
