More asthma meds drama!
This time, cromolyn sodium is on back order til December. So now I actually am using a steroid inhaler--low dose, two puffs a day, but it's still the first time I've ever used steroids to control my asthma. It's a lot simpler to have an inhaler (v. nebulizer and all the associated paraphernalia) but... still. Gaah. Fingers crossed that it will actually turn out to be effective!
(Because nothing is ever simple, the procedure for figuring out the above information and actually getting the inhaler took approximately a week. During which I ran out of cromolyn sodium. Yay!)
...I am excited for Viable Paradise this October. It will be amazing. I've missed workshopping, missed being around SF/F writer people for more than a convention weekend.
Another thing I've been excited for is GYGO, the geek dance on campus. Everyone (or nearly everyone) goes in costume/cosplay, they play nerdy and geeky music (anime theme songs! Star Trek remixes! Doctor Who music!), they have a costume contest. It's the one dance that all my friends go to, because it's awesome.
Guess what I figured out yesterday?
GYGO is on October 14th, which is a Friday evening. Viable Paradise will end that afternoon.
I could get back on campus by midnight--if I left Martha's Vineyard at 3:45. (Ferry to the mainland, bus to Boston, hour's layover, bus to Amherst, Five-College bus to Mount Holyoke.)
I... yeah. My friends and I start planning costumes months in advance. (We have, in fact, already planned our costumes and started buying bits of them.) It is an Event.
So. Anyone know someone who wants to drive to South Hadley on Friday, October 14...? Yyyeah.
