The Calm Between Storms
Mar. 31st, 2026 02:27 pmOn Friday I turn 51. Eh. FCL and my weekend getaway to the Trapp Family Lodge are my parties. But it would be nice if -something- happened that day. Though the weekend (Saturday at least) is going to be a little busy with pre-FCL errands.
I have started packing for the con though, and I copied my schedule onto my phone, which pleases me. I kind of figure if I can get small tasks done every day between now and when I leave on Thursday that that might make a real dent, though Thursday morning's still likely to be a PiTA.
I've kind of thought about trying to find a local to carpool with (I could probably ask Thrall, though I think he's still living with Dream), but I find I just don't care all that much. I don't even know which other VT Furs are going (though I could guess), and I suspect I'm not really in the group-chat that's being used for the con, though it's not as though anyone's made noise about how I should join it either.
With significant reservations, I reached out to Ezen for basically the first time since ANE 2024, when he kind of ghosted me. I think part of what motivated me was that since he is going to FCL I wanted to have a sense of whether I should expect to avoid him during the con, and I even said in my initial message to him that if he wasn't interested in potentially reassociating that he could simply not respond to my message.
Somewhat to my surprise he did respond, and we've had a bit of nice conversation, including him expressing regrets for how things went at that ANE. I certainly still have my doubts, but we'll see...and if nothing happens with him, I have three roommates and other people I can focus on.
The battery in my Galaxy Ring seems to be dying, but the real question is whether I should even care since I wear my watch basically all the time anyway. I first got my Oura Ring years ago before I really had a smartwatch, but for the last few years I've kind of wondered whether I was just being redundant.
I'm happy to be able to say that even with my Florida trip I'm well ahead of schedule on my editing of Book 5 for Joaquin. I'm not even exactly sure why the editing has been moving along so well, but it's very nice to not be feeling any pressure to have it completed on time.
No updates on potentially moving. Waiting to hear back from Shea, though I'll reach out to her if I haven't heard anything by later this week. In a way though, I really don't want anything to be available currently, because I'd really like to see how my promotion and (probable?) raise impact what I can comfortably afford.
