Kit's Kitty Korner [Lego time]

With longer hair, expect to pin it down, use a wig cap, or even both
Last year I used a wig cap
Can't find it so for the pic of Alice, my hair was pinned down

[npixelz]

I see, I see.
Now I want to start doing cosplay!
I already had some which I'm hoping to do; a gender bend of a character in a video for a Minecraft parody, and a goddess in a Minecraft series.
But now I want to do more!

[Kitalpha Hart]

Yeah, and while the longer wig did itch, it was only really when I wasn't doing anything that I particularly noticed
At a con, there's a lot going on so you don't notice that you're forgetting to take care of yourself until after
Then everything catches up to you and you feel like shit for the next 2-3 days (longer if you don't take extra time off). Con fever is never fun
Hell, last year I didn't realize that some of the duct tape in the skirt had fallen off, giving the pipe cleaners free reign on my thigh, until I took it off and happened to see the scratches

[npixelz]

Man, I definitely want to cosplay at a con.

That sounds terrible!

[Kitalpha Hart]

It's the risk you take
Which is why it's good to have a Mom Friend, because while con fever is almost inevitable, having a Mom Friend making sure everyone (including themselves) stays fed and hydrated makes it a lot less nasty. Plus a one day con will have less recovery from con fever time than, say, the big ones. Comiccon, katsucon, etc
Toracon is a weekend (plus badge pickup Friday, if you so wish), so a day to recover is about all that's needed. Unless you actually got hurt. Like my one friend twisted her ankle the day before and still went, con fever got her hard
The shallow scratches were gone after a few days. The two or three that were deeper needed a bit more time, but none of them were scarring

[npixelz]

A...Mom Friend?
Hmm... Makes sense. The longer the con, the longer the fever.
Yeah, I'd probably still go even if I twisted my ankle.
At least there's that.

Nags at you to make sure you eat and drink water

And in other news, I confused the everlasting fuck out of Mop
Got in him harness and least, and then hooked him up to the dog run outside
He's currently in cuz the dog wanted out and she needs to be leashed, but when she comes back in he can go back out

[npixelz]

Ah, I see.

[npixelz]

Ah, ok. I get it now.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Yeah, he's got an abscess, it's finally drained enough times that it's getting better, but it's still not entirely healed, he's still beaten up, and he's not fixed
So hooking him up on a leash lets him out without giving him free reign

[npixelz]

Ah ok. One question; what's an abscess?

[Kitalpha Hart]

I'd say look it up,but it might pull up some nasty pics

Abscessed wounds are infected, so they're swollen and full of pus, and maybe some blood
Ever get a blister and have it rip open? That fluid, imagine it green, warm, a bit gooey, and a bit thicker
Now have it keep refilling so you need to keep draining it
Oh, and it smells like sickness

Ahem. Ok, I see, that sounds terrible. Although I think I've only ever had a blister once before, and it didn't rip open. But I can definitely imagine what you're talking about. Yep, I can definitely imagine it. ...
