The show went reasonably well - Leigh was a huge, quality help and there were some students available to help with load in/out. It was a pretty profitable show - I was a little disappointed because it wasn't nearly as good as last year at that show, but it was better than I do at most shows. And it also means I have most of my inventory yet, so the next two weeks won't be frantic make-stuff frenzy time. Sold out of Auburn, interestingly enough, but have something left of everything else. And I survived the collapse of the gridwall, it fell, fully loaded, onto the table full of glass ornaments. Total damages: I bruised my thumb and a small decorative piece broke off a plaque. That, amazingly, was it, and my next door vendor had glue so the plaque was repaired almost immediately. Phew. Afterwards I took Leigh to an Italian restaurant and we got some very good eats from very friendly waitstaff. So all in all, not a bad day.

When I got home, the headache returned. That or I just didn't notice it working the show. I tried very hard to take it easy on my shoulder, so naturally I overdid on my back and neck and they're not feeling so hot either. (I'm wondering if the headache is a lack of sleep thing, as I haven't slept through the night in over a week. Sleep through a tornado, sure, but not sleep through 3am.) We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Now watching the Maryland/Florida State game. Note to the Terps: All black uniforms are not attractive. All black unis with digital camouflage trim is pure ugly. Blecch.
