Follow Up, Post MFM and Post Harvey

One more day in my life.
Update Time: I am home. MFM was an amazing weekend. Mephit FurMeet has always been a fun con, but this year it has been even more so. Leaving Houston to go, not knowing I would even be able to go until the day we left because roads were still closed, getting there in a state of fatigue and exhaustion and for the first time ever...
Leaving the convention MORE relaxed and energized than when I had arrived. The con was the first time in weeks I was able to sleep more than four hours a night. I was busy and so much was there to be done.
Despite snags and memory issues, and fatigue the Wielder Moment's show went over well. The Puppet Take Over Show was a blast and the new puppet panels drew in some much needed attention. Hanging out with Fox and Pepper at the Puppet show was a BLAST! Having Goliath messing up my script for the show was fun too! Husky in Denial performing a live song was fantastic!
Even when the stage failed and fell apart part way through a song, it was still a lot of fun!
Managed to get a new version of Red Dragon Inn for Game Night. Parade was fun. Dances were a blast, the concerts were amazing, Husky in Denial, Cosmik and Rhubarb Ruin Everything, and Fox and Pepper's concert... even with Pandamom dancing before my eyes....
Lots of video footage for next year's promo videos.
This year's Mephit fur meet can be summed up as an exercise in adaptation. Stuff went wrong or got difficult or forgotten, and you had to adapt and change.
Getting home was an ordeal because of the drive and the lack of a desire to leave such a fun con. But I am home. Minor repairs and cleanups need to be done. Have a friend staying with us off and on. He got two feet of water in his home and is dealing so he is staying with us and using our car to get around. That's as good a deed as any these days.
Keeping an eye on the neighbors to make sure everyone is ok. Lots of people dealing with aftermath. Complicated by upcoming Irma. Have friends in Florida and will wish them the best. It is looking to be one hell of a year with hurricanes. So be safe everyone.
I will likely be absent online for the next week. Recovery from the con, recovery from Harvey, helping friends and work. So I may get quiet online. But I am fine. I am doing pretty good all things considered.
Take care of yourselves. I love my wonderful extended family. So be safe.
