incognitajonesThe volunteer gig was extra stressful this year because of covering for my partner's absence, a heat wave with bonus tornado warnings, vendor fuck-ups, plus the general headaches of dealing with big-name performers & their micro-managing managers. I didn't accomplish any of the personal stuff (like writing) I wanted to get done during my vacation. It continues to be blazingly hot & humid, and our 100 year old house doesn't have air-conditioning. Also, the spouse & I had our huge annual summer blow-up due to the aforementioned stress & heat.
On the other hand, we actually resolved a perennial source of conflict in a way that we're both happy with. My parents' visit was lovely, and they helped out with a couple of big home maintenance jobs. Hundreds of dollars and two weeks of oral antibiotics later, my daughter's rabbit has made a full recovery, stunning the vet, who admitted he'd thought one eye at least was a write-off. Whenever the bun finally passes away (of old age, no doubt) I think I want to preserve one of his feet, because he's obviously made of concentrated luck. Andmultifandomdrabblefest turned out to be a great experience: I posted six drabbles, got lovely comments on all of them, and my own gifts were amazing! I'll definitely be participating in that event again.
