Kitacon and other things

So had a fun weekend at Kitacon in spite of the ear infection. Though it did mean I spent a large part of it partially deaf, something which wasn't helped by the Kunzite wig covering my ears. Having not really had time to do anything cosplay related since 2008 it was a pleasant surprise being reminded how much I enjoy doing it. As much as I had no interest in doing them I really enjoyed the masquerade and my nervousness about standing in front of lots of people was helpfully lessened by my short sightedness (the character doesn't wear glasses). In fact I enjoyed it so much I might actually do one of them again! Of course the best bit of the weekend was getting to spend so much time with some genuinely lovely people, and I even got a paid a nice compliment too. Overall as much as I would have rather not got the infection, I'm glad it gave me the time I needed to make a costume for the con.

Will definitely have to get the house decorating finished over the Easter weekend so I can start with my planned regular time spent working on costumes. The hope is, as it has been since Amecon in 2008, just to make costumes through out the year and then select the ones I want to take with me. If I never have to do a last minute costume finish for a con again, I'd be very happy indeed.

Have now got antibiotics for the ear infection, and I'm really hoping to get back into work tomorrow. All being well it'll clear up in a couple of days and then I can try and avoid getting ill again for a good long while.

I've also heard from the Citroen garage the car should be delivered late Wednesday or early Thursday... here's hoping that proves to be true.
