Return to the Valley of the Nerd Queen

[doronjosama]

I'm home. I'm exhausted. I am officially too fucking old to stay up till three or four in the morning four nights in a row without being a total wreck afterwards. (Seriously, I have circles under my eyes that are so dark that it looks like someone punched me in both of them...) It remains to be seen if I will develop any sort of con crud, though I did get a weird rash on my arm during the stopover in Arizona (a state which hates me, apparently, but the feeling is mutual...), which has already started to fade.

I saw lots of friends at the con and made some new ones, too, despite my sometimes almost-crippling shyness. I completely missed seeing some friends I really wanted to see, which was sad.

I'll do a real report of some sort later when I am not so tired. I have to pay bills tomorrow, too.

My kitties are very happy I am home. Even Bandito let me pet him, and he usually will not tolerate me touching him.

My problems are compounded by the fact that I MUST take medication in order to sleep (not sleeping pills or anything special; Mom and I discovered back in middle school that the drug I take for ADD/OCD/general level-ness puts me to sleep in larger doses, and since I've always had trouble sleeping, I just take a larger dose at night). If I take it and don't go to bed at a reasonable time, I get so tired I can't do anything. If I DON'T take it for any reason (such as not being able to find it—I never forget to take it), I get all weird and shaky, like I haven't eaten for a day, and can force myself to sleep for, perhaps, an hour that night. So I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. It may cause problems someday when I have kids (most of the medications I'm on probably shouldn't be taken during pregnancy), but I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.

This is unrelated, but what does a GameCube broadband adapter usually retail for? I'll probably buy one online, and I don't want to get bilked. You work in a game store, so theoretically, you should have access to more information than I.
