Hurley's was a blast yesterday. A million people were there, including a few I hadn't expected, like [livejournal.com profile] grimmwire, and some semi-surprises like [livejournal.com profile] silly_imp and her Man (he was a surprise: I hadn't seen him since the summer of 2006, since I had my housewarming barbecue), and [livejournal.com profile] le_maistre_e, who had made indeterminate noises about showing up.

There was Kielkenny, and scotch (though I abstained from the scotch, sadly), and good food, and MUCH giggling. We worked ourselves into hysterics a few times, discussing books and geekdom and corsets and many other topics that are really only funny if you're there. :D

It was a great time, and we all to a man crashed hard at about 20:00. I was home and in bed by about 22:00, and it was a bit of a struggle to get up this morning. In retrospect, that second beer was probably a bad plan, although it was reeeeally nice while I had it.

Today is another work day. I'm hoping it won't be as crazy as yesterday. I worked all through my lunch hour yesterday, which was not very much fun.

There was a scheduling fluke at work, and it turns out that I have today off. Bonus!

I've done a load of laundry, cleaned the cat pans, washed the dishes, organized the counters in the kitchen, put away some books, all before the cleaning lady got here. Yes, I am one of those people who cleans before the cleaning lady comes. In my defense, I pay her to clean what's under the clutter, not the clutter itself. If I do prep work, then she gets to do the actual scrubbing, which saves me both time and exasperation (have I mentioned lately how much I hate washing floors?).

Bizarrely, if I were going to work today, I'd still be on time if I left now.

I am going to run errands. Sadly, it's also snowing, and they're saying that we should expect about 30cm of snow by this afternoon. Bleh. Still, I have to go pay off my credit card, so that I can then use it to buy plane tickets. Isn't that exciting? I'm excited. :)

Speaking of vacation and time off, I have unofficially received word that I will be allowed to take time off during WorldCon. Everyone all together now: WOOHOO! Now my nefarious plans for hosting a million people will be a lot less complicated. I am also going to have a post-con barbecue in the garden on Sunday afternoon, once all the hoopla is over. Details on that will be made public as they become available. :)

*does a Happy WorldCon Attendance Boogie*

Tonight is Hump Night at Hurley's, which is all to the good. I am looking forward to seeing friends, having alcohol, and eating pub food. Good times.
