Blue Monday

It is going to take a couple of days for my body to get back onto its normal schedule.  At least I seem to have (mostly) shaken this cold.  I'm still getting some twinges in my throat, but the cough has mostly cleared up, and my sinuses and ears are working again.  I suppose I should be a bit depressed over the fact that I felt miserable for almost the entirety of our vacation, and feel better again just in time to head back to work, but feeling better offsets any depression that might want to set in so it's all good.

I stumbled on a bit of trivia this morning and learned something that I probably should have learned in school.  I have always noticed that our coins have "D.G. Regina" stamped on the front, but it is one of those little details to which I have never paid much attention.  Apparently it is short for Dei Gratia Regina, which translates into something like By the Grace of God, Queen.

That's a nice icon. Conbadge?

Yup. I commissioned it from weeona at MFF. For specs, I was rather vague and asked her her to "just draw me as a snow leopard", and I think she captured it rather nicely. I ♥ this new con badge. =)
