...despite not going.

I'm still glad that all my friends had such a great time. I so wish that I could have joined them so that I could have stories to share like everyone else. I always love walking around the city and I love to just sit against a wall to watch all the silly fluff balls! Instead I stayed at home saving hundreds of dollars and got poison ivy! Then I went to Hoboken, NJ to chill with a friend but was terrorized by roughly 20% of my body being covered in itchies. Then I went to a friend's place who was having a "Too Poor For Anthrocon Party." That felt great to get out with folks and have a good furry time to substitute a time in Pittsburgh.
But I still got presents! Skrimpf gave me three beautiful, high-quality prints and kitt3ns bought me a cute little Squeaki badge. Now that I'm back from visiting Kitt I plan to spend a lot of time watching youtubes of the convention. I hope I don't get too jealous of how much fun I missed!

In other news, my grandfather died last week and the funeral is this weekend. It's all right, no need for sympathies. He lied about his age when he came to the USA but he was between 95 and 105 years old. He was spry and lived a good long and full life but for the last few months his health has been failing and it was painful to watch. It was good that it didn't go longer than it did.
