I've gone through almost the whole work day thinking it's Friday. I can't tell you how cheated I feel having just been disabused of that notion.

Well, that's a nice thing to wake up to. Nice one, New Yorkers. I'm sure there'll be a tantrum from the thick orange one, but you've done the right thing.

Thank you, past me, for having the good sense to take an extra day off after world fantasy con. Present me is very appreciative.
Next time, though, take the whole week.

I don't want to jinx it (he said, immediately jinxing it), but now that I'm back home I realised that I don't feel even the slightest smidge of con crud. I can't remember the last time that happened.

Just about time for me to wend my merry way back up north. Had a great weekend at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social - lots of good people, good books and silly chats. See you all at the next con!
Oh, and apologies to @cameronjohnston.bsky.social and @thdray.bsky.social for the impending trauma.

An hour's scribbling done, and now off to the swords and sorcery panel. I'm getting dangerously close to being productive this morning.
