I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me...

...for the last few days I've been afraid I might drift away.

My bags are, once again, packed to go; my 3:30am alarm has successfully pulled me from warm bed to cold reality. The cats circle like dismayed, fuzzy sharks, demanding to know what I think I'm doing. Surely I can't be thinking of leaving. Why, they would be horribly offended if I were to do something as senseless as that. And they have lots of claws, both individually and as a cumulative entity. LOTS OF CLAWS.

But I am going, because going is part of my job. Going is what enables coming back.

For the next four days, I will be at Conclave, located in scenic Romulus, Michigan. I will enjoy panels. I will sing songs. I will have a wonderful time, and yes, I will hope to see you there. All that stands between me and Michigan is a plane ride. All that stands between me and home (and the ocean of claws) is Michigan.

Here I go again.

Oh, that's lovely.

Also, if you're ever here, we should make that happen. For I want to do that, too, but worry about trying to do it alone.

I'm aware I'm very lucky that I live here. Although, it's best in summer... winter's a bit windy, raw, damp and rainy/snowy. Not quite like SF. ;-)

YES. Oh, I'd never do it alone. I'm not that much of a daredevil. *points to icon*
