Worn out
I'm typing up an overall write-up of SDCC for tomorrow, to coincide with my Tumblr collection tomorrow--my best of photos of this year's Comic-Con. I don't know that I'll have the stop-motion film of the GoPro footage done. I don't even have appropriate software yet.
This week--and I haven't even really been home for a week yet--has been so incredibly long and wearying. Ugh. Both my flights home were delayed, so I didn't get to Lawrence until nearly 2am. I was pretty useless on Tuesday and called in an extra vacation day so I only worked Thursday and Friday last week but those two days felt like twenty. The weekend was great and seemed to fly by (I got very little of substance done), but most of it passed by in a haze.
Of course there were the hives, which actually started on Thursday but didn't come into full bloom until late Friday. They're beginning to go down now, but my back and upper arms are still pretty itchy. They're how my body decided to react to some soap. This is what I get for being romantical and showering with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mckitterick in the upstairs bathroom.
Sunday brought my period and some spectacular cramping but staying home is not an option. I've got shit to do to get ready for the new incoming graduate students and the other secretary is out for the whole week. So I'm here with my tea and microwave beanbag. GOOD TIMES.
BUT!
mckitterick and I saw two movies this weekend: Guardians of the Galaxy and Hercules, both of which we enjoyed immensely. GotG was as good as I hoped (WHEW!), but Hercules was...oh, man. It was more than I could have asked for. Loved it! If you're at all a fan of The Rock (and really, who doesn't like The Rock even just a little bit?) and you like twists on legends (a la Xena), I think you'd like Hercules. Also, can I just say--ZERO NAKED LADY BREASTS IN THIS MOVIE. Not even shitting you. I'm not gonna say it's a feminist movie, but I was pretty happy with the women in this flick, and the way that sexual violence was never used as a threat against them.
Other than those movies, though, I didn't do shit. I didn't even go grocery shopping. I washed the sheets, yay. I still have clean underwear for a few more days, so the rest of the laundry can wait. Because what with the hives (which knocks my entire immune system for a loop for a week or more) and the cramping, I still haven't physically recovered from the trip and y'all, my ass is dragging.
Five and a half more hours until I can go home, sit on the couch, and watch the last three episodes of Penny Dreadful. God, four o'clock cannot come soon enough.
ETA: I nearly forgot! So the fanart that I did for Tatau for the due South Sekrit Santa finally made it to her home. I sent it before I left for Comic-Con and she wrote to tell me it arrived and she already got it framed and hanging in her home! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
