Week wrap-up

[valarltd]

It's been a pretty good week. We made it out the door on time every morning without me yelling. The zoloft is helping a lot. I feel calmer, less angry. Things don't get to me like they did.

And Sunday I start on evenings. Home all day with Dollface! YAY!

My con fund keeps filling up. I really, really want to go to VividCon, but $60? Eeep. Plus 2 hotel nights @ $100 each (less with a roommate), plus gas to get to Chi (500+ miles). And food. That'd be about $400 for a weekend. (provided I don't have a roomie and use my van. Mudd's car gets better milage) Plus 2 days off.

And I'm already taking 3 days for Media West, and probably a week for Mudd's HS reunion.

Not looking good. Let's see where I am in May.

Must plan food and shop tomorrow, and do laundry.

What weekend is VividCon? I almost went last year. Maybe I should go this year. Is there any way my going would be helpful for you? You're already closer to Chicago than to Ann Arbor, right?

VividCon is August 13-15. If you went, the grand total would drop by about $100 (the room-mate thing)

The website is here:

elke_tanzer is also looking for a roommate. We might be able to swing it.

I've already paid for MWC and Bunny is so stoked. But yes, Chicago is only about 500 miles, and Ann Arbor is 760. (it's the same distance from KC and home)
With VividCon, I have a baby sitter, and can just drive myself.

I went ahead and registered for VividCon. If I can't go, I won't pay and the membership can go back in the pot. (there's only 100 sold)

OK, I've registered too. I'm flat-ass broke, as you know, so I hope they can wait a few weeks for the money; they didn't specify how soon they need their check, but if they start getting concerned, I could do it by credit card in about 10 days, just not today. Thing is, it looks to me like, if they don't have a waiting list, each person who's registered is on the hook to pay -- i.e. once you sign up, they're counting on you to pay up. At least until they get a wait list going, which I imagine they will. Anyway, I regretted not going last year, and for me it's "just down the road," so I'm sure I'll want to go this year, which means they'll definitely get their $65 or $70 from me as soon as I can scrape it together. Maybe you, me and Elke Tanzer can room together; that'd be cool.
