After a crazy trip, I'm finally back from ANE. Unfortunately this year I came down with the flu hardcore early Saturday morning and I was forced to leave the con to recover and avoid giving it to con goers. I'm really sorry if I let anyone down, I was super bummed to have to leave. It was the right choice though, I'm still trying to recover to the point to be able to work. This flu has been really nasty this time around.
I went to stay at my mother's place (she lives an hour from the con) to try and get well enough to make the drive back to my home 4 hours away. It took a couple days but I'm on the mend now, and made it back to home base in one piece.

I'm sure I'll be back on my feet soon!
