No. We aren't going to GNEW after all. I reprised my performance from two years ago (but at home instead of on the road). It appears that my blood pressure has gone wonky on my, leading to spontaneous nose bleeds of spectacularness. The one that started just after midnight was the worst, to date, and led to a trip to the ER. Several hours of waiting and leaking later, the doc ran a nasal tampon up my nose to stopper it. You know, a bandaid for the inside of the nose. We got home from the ER at 0600, having no appreciable sleep. As I write this, I'm partially caught up on sleep.

As a consequence of this mess, I'm supposed to take it easy. No strenuous exertion for now. We decided that driving up to Maine for the weekend was no longer a good idea, so we're staying home.

On the up side, it means we can go to Storvik Novice Tourney. We can even set up shop there, and I get to see Geoffrey and Caemfind get theirs. We'll see how things work out. I think we have enough help lined up so that I can avoid overexertion in matters of tent erection and goods schlepping.

Feel better soon!

Best of luck getting that blood pressure firmly under control.

So...how long can you tread water?

Sorry to hear about the nasal adventure. OTOH, it will be good to see you and Megan this weekend, and I probably will require some coaching on how to project my voice without wearing it out. On Saturday I gotta herald all day and then sing for the King.... :-)

Hey! I would love to copy that icon! May I? I don't think I know you - Herveus can tell you about me.

Sure! Of course, since I originally ganked it from somebody named [livejournal.com profile] yagowe, you should probably credit it to that person.

I recognize your name from the Atlantian Heralds list -- you're the Ragged Staff Herald! :-)

Maybe we'll meet at Pennsic? This might be more incentive for me to volunteer at Herald's Point.... :-)

Oh, credit will certainly be given. Sadly, I won't be at Pennsic - but I will be at KWHSS in London, so that is all good. Hope to meet you someday, as well!

KWHSS in London sounds like a dream come true!!! Have a great time there!!

And I am sorry to read in your LJ about your two kitties. My sympathies. Both my cats went to the Rainbow Bridge last year too.

Yikes! I had something similar several years ago and they ended up having to cauterizing the inside of my schnozz. Unbelievable how long I had the smell of burning hair......and flesh, stuck in my sinus cavity. See you guys this weekend......for a short time at least

Oh you poor dear! I'm so sorry this has messed up your plans. :(

On the other (selfish) hand, it will be good to see you fine folks on Saturday.
