I will not, after all, be attending ButcherCon this fall. Ted and I are planning to go to WFC in November instead. And hopefully I’ll be going to Colorado Gold in September, but I’m not sure about that right now. Depends on what books are finished by then and how much money we have, a’course. :)
Oh, for…
This is a locked-to-the-flist post because while I’m exasperated, the person I’m exasperated with will fling herself on my mercy and swear she didn’t mean it that way if this is public, and I’ve finally had it up to Here with that, so. emailed me earlier wondering if I was still going to ButcherCon, since the venue had changed (again) and she saw I was no longer listed on the guest list.

Email from Mom saying they were driving down to visit prompted us to run around like headless chickens and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. The second bedroom is Almost Under Control now. Almost.
