Knowing that neither Janika nor Jutta would be coming to the Comic Convention in Stuttgart was a real downer.
Especially because Janika had such a long journey (from Berlin) and had to pay most of the costs. But I know that she made the right decision not to take the flight and the whole trip with an unhealed pneumonia and a low oxygen level.
I spoke to her briefly today and she is still ill. Jutta is now so well again that she has decided to go back to work. Unfortunately, she still has that annoying cough.
I spoke to Carina on Friday evening and she assured me that she and her husband Dennis, including their son Robin, would be coming to Stuttgart. They were also joined by a young woman from Munich who wrote to Carina on Vagabonds (Neil's Discord) and asked if she could join them because she was struggling with anxiety in large crowds. That wasn't a problem for me at all and Freya got in touch with me and we spent the evening chatting.
I packed my suitcase on Friday afternoon and was so anxious and nervous afterwards that I decided to take my emergency medication. It definitely helped me to calm down and think clearly again. By 10 o'clock in the evening I was so tired that I actually went to bed and fell asleep straight away. I was awake by six o'clock in the morning. My flight left at 12.40PM so I had enough time to take a warm bath, get dressed and then wait. And to my own surprise, I wasn't nervous at all. O_o
Maybe because I planned everything over and over again or tried to calm my mother who was a lot more nervous than me. So we set off at 9 in the morning, but first had to clear the ice from our car as it had been incredibly cold during the night. The drive to the airport took between 20 and 25 minutes and we drove to the airport parking garage. The way to Terminal 1 was still not close, lol. It's unbelievable how big Frankfurt Airport is.
What I really liked was the fact that everything was already decorated for Christmas. *_*
