Worldcon has started in Glasgow – we really wanted to be there, but we’re not, in large part because we need to buy that Forever Home Real Soon Now.
Next year in Seattle, we can hope. That will be a little bit more fiscally possible.
With today’s communications technologies and social media, it’s easy to follow along as friends have migrated their way to Glasgow. I’m not sure if that helps or hurts. It’s not the same as being there, but it does allow us to watch the Hugo Awards ceremonies and some of the other major events.
The good news is that some of the final pieces are finally falling into place on the preparation for pulling the trigger on purchasing and moving to that Forever Home. It’s simultaneously incredibly exciting and incredibly terrifying. But if everything works out, we could be in our new place by the holidays.
It’s going to be “exciting.” With that happening on a personal level and *waves hands at the world* everything going on with the elections and life in general in the US, there’s gonna be some significant stress on multiple levels.
It is equally true that A) I’m too old and tired for this shit and B) the only way out is through.
Fun times!
