Ran away for the weekend

[triadruid]

Escaped into the woods (Camp Gaea) for the weekend, and overall it was a good thing. Weather Friday night while we were packing was utter crap, right until we drove north and west out of the storms and onto bone-dry pavement. Saturday was gorgeous, and Sunday it didn't start raining until we were packing. I'll take it.

Whilst being covered in nature, I noticed:

• the "plague" of bugbites that hit me between God Auction and accepting that Apollo is my patron has finally ceased.
  
• a marked increase in my tolerance for sun (again, go figure).
  
• decreased sex drive despite the casual nudity (this is not uncommon for me while camping, but fixed when I got home).
  
• finished the last half of The Mabinogi for tonight.

Came back and managed to get the GC newsletter and website done before collapsing last night (and drove home in another rainstorm last night, pulling off my Driving While Jedi trick well enough to beat my other thirds home). Since returning home, I've noticed:

• oversensitivity to the sounds of downtown.
  
• nearly complete lack of appetite/interest in food (this may be due to the extremely tasty stuff we ate in camp).
  
• I slept like an angel last night. I'm pretty sure our whole house did (the camp bunks were pretty wretched).
  
• my hair is driving me absolutely bonkers today; probably overconditioned/overwashed it at the camp and with repeated dunkings in the lake, but it's all in snarls. As soon as the goatee finishes growing back in, I'll be hacking at least 10" off for Locks of Love.
  
• also, today I returned a bunch of crap to the library (some of which had only been overdue since July 17th), and found where many of my office pens were hiding.

Now I have to decide what to do with the rest of my August... (not a lack of choices, I can tell you that much).

I hope this doesn't sound insulting, it isn't meant to be, but there is a book "War God's Own" and when the God is chasing down the hero (who is resisting being a God's anything) it sounds a lot like your bug bites while resisting your patron:)

Why would it be insulting?

The War God's Own by David Weber, is that it?

Well, because I'm comparing a true experience to fiction, and because I tend to worry how I'll be taken.

Yes, it is, I love that book, it's been read to death here.
