2nd Day of Emerald City Comic Con in the Books

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World!!! The second day of Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC) is in the books. I had a great day and wish to share it with you along with some pictures I took. First off, I bought two books to get signed which I did. The first thing after buying more books was attend a friendship bracelet making activity in the pride room which I have picture of. I went to multiple panels and two autograph sessions after two of the panels I attended. One of the panels I went to was called “Not-so-Accurate Histories Filled with Fairies, Magic and More” which was about history and fantasy type stuff along with world building. It had authors of books on panel and went to the post book signing event. My other favorite panel was called “The Many Faces of Horror” as well as the book signing for it afterwords as the panel was authors. I love horror.

I will now post picture of the second day of comic con. I will put in a caption my site impaired readers as they have adaptive devices to help them read what is said.

Awesome Sleep for the 2nd Day of Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC)

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I surprisingly got an awesome night of sleep last night. I didn’t get much sleep due to the fact that I was up reading till just after one o’clock in the morning, Seattle time. I may not have gotten the amount of sleep I wanted but at least the sleep was awesome.

I am looking forward to the second day of Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC). I had fun yesterday and I am pretty sure that I will have fun today. I have a lot more on my agenda to do today at ECCC than yesterday and looking forward to it. The two things I am looking forward to doing today are a horror book panel and a post horror book panel book signing.

Good Evening, World!!! The first day of Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC) is in the books. I had a great day and wish to share it with you along with some pictures I took. First off, I bought me some ECCC gear of a tote bag, t-shirt and a sweatshirt. I then bought two books at a friend’s suggestion and was able to get it signed by the author. I then went to some panel’s that I greatly enjoyed. My favorite panel was horror comic book writers and/or artist. I saw some amazing cosplay. I even found Waldo.

Too Excited to Go Back to Sleep

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! I woke up at two fifty-nine this morning Seattle time and have not been able to go back to sleep. I am way too excited to go back to sleep. Today is the first day of Emerald City Comic Con here in Seattle and I am beyond ecstatic. I already have my first day of Emerald City Comic Con planned out. I have been looking forward to this since I bought my four-day VIP pass the first day they went on sale in August of 2025. I’m just so extremely excited for Emerald City Comic Con and that it is over my birthday weekend.

Middle of the Night Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is two forty-five in the morning on Wednesday, March 4th of 2026 and sadly I am not able to sleep. I’m pretty sure my PTSD and insomnia are conspiring against me to be sleepless in Seattle. Being sleepless in Seattle is nothing new to me and it majorly sucks. It sucks because I tend to be a cranky bucket the next day, but I am hoping it won’t affect me so much since I have so much to look forward to.

One of the things, I have to look forward to starts tomorrow (Thursday, March 5th) to Sunday (March 8th). That something is Emerald City Comic Con. It also happens that this weekend is my birthday weekend which makes Emerald City Comic Con that much more special for me. I have been looking forward to this since August of last year (2025). I can’t wait till tomorrow as it is the start of my birthday weekend.

Speaking of birthdays, I bought myself a birthday present. A birthday present that is going to be a weekend of fun here in Seattle and is in April of this year (2026) that involves cats. That birthday present is going to a cat convention known as Pop Cats. I have never been to a cat convention, and I love cats, so I thought it would be a great birthday present to myself especially since it is here in Seattle.

As I am informing you of the conventions, I am going be attending it reminds me of the communities I belong to and how important it is to continue to participate in those communities I am in. I’m part of the comic book community as I love comic books just like I am part of the cat community because I love cats as well as volunteer with cats. As someone who is in mental health recovery building community is huge. For me making sure that I belong to more than one community is key to my recovery. Hell, everyone belongs to multiple different communities.

Looking Forward to the Weekend

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday, World!!! I’m looking forward to another day at work. In fact, today is going be my Friday as I usually work Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays but I am taking Thursday off to attend a four-day event. The four-day event I will be attending is here in Seattle will be Emerald City Comic Con. The best part of it all is that Emerald City Comic Con falls over my birthday weekend and am so excited about it. It is something I have been looking forward to since I bought me a four-day VIP pass back in August.

In fact, my therapist and I have been discussing in therapy how it is important to have something to look forward to especially when is something that you enjoy. I’m pretty sure when I see her tomorrow (Wednesday) for my appointment with that we will be discussing Emerald House Comic Con and how to make sure I enjoy myself without getting too anxious and/or overwhelmed. I wouldn’t be too surprised if my therapist and I discussed planning on something else to look forward to once Emerald City Comic Con is over with as when you struggle with a mental health diagnosis, it is always nice to have something to look forward even when things are going well. For me having something to look forward to whether or not I am doing well is a major part of my recovery. I’m just thrilled that I am doing well.

Lunch Time Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afternoon, World!!! I really didn’t have anything to worry about regarding pay. Yes, my vacation time is gone as of this Thursday, and I had to use my personal holiday and most of my vacation time for missing last week due to health issues, at least I get to attend the first day of Emerald City Comic Con. I’m just relieved I get paid for last week and this Thursday and that everything worked out in my favor.

I’m also excited about tomorrow as I start co-facilitating a group. Specifically, I will be co-facilitating a CBTp group. I am not able to be the main facilitator due to the fact that I do have the degree or licensure to do so, and I am okay with that as I am able to bring the peer perspective to the clients I help. I will be co-facilitating with a colleague on my team as well as another colleague who works on a different team. I am really looking forward doing this group.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is now time to go get my lunch and eat it.

Monday Morning Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Happy Monday Morning, World!!! I’m awake and up earlier than I normally am on a Monday morning despite working on Mondays. Despite being awake earlier than I wanted to be, I have quite productive. I did a little bit in a recovery related mental health workbook focusing on being a part of the queer community. I also did two meditation practices which seem to have helped anxiety regarding going back work today after missing work last week due to health issues regarding my left kidney.

I’m having some anxiety over missing work last week for a few reasons. One, I don’t have any more six time left and afraid I won’t have a choice to use vacation time. Two, if I do have the opportunity to use vacation time that I won’t be able to take my vacation day this Thursday to attend the first day of Emerald City Comic Con. It has been something that I have been looking forward to since I bought a four-day VIP pass to attend back in August. Worst case scenario, I go without pay one day last week or use my personal day which is only four hours which is okay with me. I will worry about it when I go to work today.

As far as Emerald City Comic Con, I am so looking forward to attending. Last time I had the opportunity to attend was 2020 and I had bought a four-day pass. Sadly, it was cancelled due to Covid. I have attended before, but it was for two days as I didn’t have the money or time to attend all four days, so I was really disappointed when the 2020 Emerald City Comic Con got cancelled. That is why I am so freaking excited about attending this year.
