feeling: tired
listening to: Queen - It's a Kind of Magic
Apparently Magnus' sickly spells are coming in some kind of cycle now. After my last post here, he was fine again for about 5 days, but then suddenly started having the same problems again... then about 3 days later he got better, then just today, he started looking miserable yet again. Only difference is that unlike the first spell he had, with these last couple flare-ups he's still been willing to eat. No idea what to make of these little cycles... I've never seen anything like it before. Not nearly this drastic, anyway. Literally, one day he's lying on the gravel panting and dying, and the next he's bopping around chasing my fingers and dancing for kibbles, then a few days later it goes the other way around. Weird...
In other news, Nekocon is coming up... and Suicide Ali's second US live (followed immediately by the third on the following night). Normally I'd be absolutely incurably psyched about this, but this time I'm just... really anxious, for a lot of reasons. To the point where I've actually had nightmares about it. Not like eek-scary-it's-gonna-kill-me nightmares, but the psychological kind.
But anyway, that's not the point... one of the things that makes this time more nervewracking is that I've done a lot more managerial-type stuff than I normally do when BLOOD or Suicide Ali has come here in the past. A couple reasons for that - first being that Kiwamu usually acts as the go-between along with Roger to get everything booked and arranged for them, but Kiwamu has been on a South/Central American (even I'm not sure anymore) tour for like, at least a month now, and won't be back until the end of this month. So instead I had to work with Roger on a lot of the booking and liaison work for the band, their staff, their Japanese fans who are flying here to see them, and our own US staff... which did not get any easier when Roger took off to spend 4 weeks in Japan, leaving me to tie up all the loose ends. Not that I mind all this, of course... it's just a lot more than I'm used to, and leaves me worrying more because if something goes wrong, it's just as likely to be my fault. I'm shouldering a LOT more responsibility than usual with this con - and all of this so far was just the tip of the glacier. The real test won't even start until we actually get to Virginia. It's kind of extremely frightening, and all the other anxieties I have about this con on both personal and professional levels don't exactly help matters...
Oh well... all I can do is buckle down and take things as they come, and just hope it will turn out to be a positive experience.
Anyway, back to spending the rest of the night dead tired but wide awake since I was so tired today I unintentionally took two naps...
