pegkerrBy all rights, I should be doing this collage about attending Mythcon. But another matter rather preoccupied my mind this past week.
Specifically, my health had deteriorated to such a point that my coworkers kept ordering me to go home because of my out-of-control coughing. As I mentioned, I contracted some type of viral infection at the beginning of of July, and last week, my asthma really spiraled out of control. It destroyed my sleep, and exasperated my patience and--gah. Finally, I went back to the doctor. My chest x-ray was clear, thank goodness, but the doctor ordered all the big guns. I went to Mythcon, as I said, wearing a mask (both because of the local Covid surge and because the meds lower my immunity), and enjoyed the con as best I could despite all the side effects.
I am finally starting to feel a bit better.
The sword in the card is one of a pair of hair sticks I wore to the con. I lost one of them during the course of weekend but fortunately found it again. But as I was looking for the hair stick, I started thinking about swords, about defense, and that prompted the concept behind the collage.
