*sigh* No Keycon for me this year. Chuck's birthday party yesterday ate up Saturday, and I got up too late today.
The party was good, but I feel emotionally fragile today (possibly because of being around so many people in a confined space). They ended up holding it in a local church rather than at Chuck and Linda's house -- an evangelical church, so when I was chatting with a couple of people in the pastor's office I was faced with a big rack of pamphlets about "Fighting the Devil" and "Armies of God!", and I realized that I was probably one of the people those pamphlets refer to as the enemy, what with being a Wiccan and all. Ironically, we ended up sitting at the pastor's table (luck of the draw) and having a talk about the history of the building and how he came to found his church. My pentacle necklace was out the whole time (by my choice), but I still felt a little bit like a spy behind enemy lines. ;-)
I'm not looking forward to going out walking today. I feel like I have no energy at all, and just want to hide away from the world.
