There's always a corner of decompressing Buffistae at any gathering, often knitting or sewing or just face down in their computer. It's what we do.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
You might want to let someone know that you need alone time. As Laura's DH can tell you, during his first F2F, he stepped away to take a breather from the Buffista Juggernaut and when I went over to check on him, he was amused that at least three people (not including me) had come over to make sure that he was okay and not feeling left out.
As I recall, at the SF2F, I was in a hallway having a freakout, and you came up and hugged me first and then asked what was wrong, and I said "People keep getting in my personal space!!!!" That still makes me giggle.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
The cats and possibly Frankie will be shut in my bedroom for the duration, so that can be a decompression spot. I want everyone to take care of themselves and have fun in their own way!

Bad news. I don't think I'm going to make it to NOLA this weekend. I'm just so swamped that I can't figure out how to make it work. Coming off of being sick is just compounding from both and energy and workload level.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, bummer! But I can see it being the right decision for you.

I'm sorry you won't be there! But I understand being swamped.

Facebook decided to stick it to me by digging up a picture from the last NOLA trip and showing it to me last night while I was angsting.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Boo. I am not pleased from a selfish standpoint. From the better part of me standpoint, please do what you need to do to keep yourself sane. Going to miss you.

Noooooooooooooooooo!! That sucks. We will certainly miss you, but you have to take care of yourself.
