Last day.
\nNot sure what I’ll do with it, to be honest. Hanging out at the hotel seems like a waste, but my motivation is always a bit iffy post-con.<\/p>\n
My alleged thinking on the luggage front, after the Dude, Where’s My Suitcase<\/em> fiasco getting here & the I Have Been Ransacked<\/em> incident of last year, is that I’m going to try to get the mission-critical stuff into my carry-on, to lessen the impact of any problems.<\/p>\n Actually doing<\/strong> anything today is being made harder by the existence of The DIY Channel, feeding my Terrible Addiction.<\/p>\n ~~~~~~ time passes ~~~~~~<\/p>\n It seems that today is pack the bags day<\/em>, or at least pack the bags mid-day, all to a soundtrack of DIY renovations & building disasters. ~~~~~~ tick tick tick tick tick ~~~~~~<\/p>\n Turns out they can! I’ve done a complete pack, and both bags are well under the weight limits. Not that I was worried I’d be over; My concern was over whether I’d be able to get all of my important<\/em> stuff into carry-on, and it’ll fit easily.<\/p>\n Not really sure what to do for the afternoon. I just now realised that things must have calmed right down for the hotel staff here; Most days, the housekeeping folks came by sometime in the afternoon, occasionally as late as 4pm. Today, the room had been done by 11am<\/em><\/p>\n I went for a wander, just to stretch my legs & get out of the hotel. It’s 30 degrees out there. Well, bottom line is that I did almost nothing today. I got stuff bubble wrapped, and packed my bags, and went for a walk through the spookily almost-empty ICC, but the thoughts of touring baseball fields, getting Cinnabon, or wandering in a park? Turns out I’m OK with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last day. Not sure what I’ll do with it, to be honest.

\nI’m about to hit FedEx, to see whether they can wrap a shot glass & a pint glass for the trip home.<\/p>\n
\nSeriously, I’d be happy playing tennis, or maybe hackysack, with the shot glass.<\/p>\n
\nI’ve not got a sore throat or anything, but I did have some mild fever & headaches over the course of the con, and it has developed into an intermittent deep hacking cough & a vague feeling of ‘blegh’, so I’m picking that whatever<\/em> I do will be pretty laid-back.
\nWhat I mostly want to do is take a nap.<\/p>\n
\nNo wonder I feel like taking a nap.<\/p>\n
\nDidn’t happen.<\/p>\n
