So Much for Sleep
Sep. 6th, 2022 11:00 pmI had a pretty late night last night, and I'd hoped to get more sleep on Tuesday morning, but it was not to be.
( Chicon 8 Closing Ceremony )
I needed to be in two places at once in the evening, so the CanSMOF / Winnipeg NASFiC meeting had to wait while I went to the Past Worldcon Chairs ("Old Pharts") Party, where an important ceremony was taking place.
( Old Pharts' Party )
I left the party after the ribbon ceremony in order to deal with the CanSMOF/Winnipeg meeting, and I did not go back. Too many maskless people, and not just those actively drinking, of which there were many. Besides, we had a lot to talk about in the Winnipeg suite. Also, with so few people in the suite, I felt safer unmasking (and moving farther away from the others in the room) to consume some of the food and drink we had there. Among the things we had to plan for was the move-out from the suite. My room was around the corner from Winnipeg's suite, and I needed to help them move out on Tuesday morning, which meant sleeping until Noon wasn't in the cards. I went back to the room and set the alarm. I didn't need to be up as early as for the Business Meeting, but it was still earlier than I liked. It was after midnight before I got to sleep.
( The Next Morning )
Around Noon, we finally managed to close out the Winnipeg Suite and help Jannie get the last of the stuff into her car. Lisa and I finally got something resembling breakfast.
Late in the afternoon, we finally ventured out with a simple plan of just walking around downtown Chicago looking at things.
( Chicago Casual Sight-Seeing )
Lisa made dinner from some of the things we have in the room. I redeemed an offer from Chipotle, went over and picked it up, and came back via Bockwinkle's grocery. We're still here through Thursday night, so we still have two days to think of things to do, but we've made no firm plans. I would have got to bed early tonight, but I had to do a couple of hours of Day Jobbe work. Maybe tomorrow morning I can sleep.
