nockergeek: (tired)

I don't think I've been sleeping well... or at the very least, not getting very well-rested. Obviously, this last week has had its stresses ([livejournal.com profile] tesstrosa losing her job, my computer being eaten by a rogue install), and this coming one does too (waiting for [livejournal.com profile] tesstrosa's last W-2, which is already a month late, and looking at the fact that the taxes are going to suck this year, not even covering our A-Kon hotel room). Wondering idly if I've got a bit of depression trying to sink in, as I've been feeling sudden pangs of loneliness and isolation lately for no real reason. If so, it's probably triggered by the stress (something along the lines of "no one knows how much I'm trying to cope with; everyone else has everything they want" angst). I think I can keep this one beaten into shape, though, so no worries there. Just get me a night of good sleep, and I should be happy.

I hope I can keep my money woes at bay. Every time I stress over money, it makes [livejournal.com profile] tesstrosa feel bad because she doesn't bring in large amounts of income with her art or her (former) part-time job. I don't want her to feel bad, because letting her focus on her art career is a conscious choice I made, even if that means sacrifices and tight times. Still waiting for it to reach the self-sustaining point (where proceeds from her art will cover her costs for conventions, plus a bit of profit), but she keeps working at it and plugging away.

I didn't mention this sooner, because I didn't know if I could get the time off, but I have procured June 8-11th off, in case I can find some way to get to A-kon.

If you don't mind a small room/car mate, I will gladly help with hotel fare and gas and stuff. Plus I can help work the table (if there is a table) so that Z can get a little more walkaround time between comissions if she likes.

Anyway, if it doesn't work, no biggie! I haven't registered or anything yet, so my plans are still really tenative.

Oh, there is a table; that's been verified. The only thing we lack for A-Kon is a hotel room at this point. Only thing is, we're planning on getting one away from the con hotel itself, mostly because it's cheaper.

Oh noes I might have to drive a little with you horrible people. :/ (/sarcasm)

No, that'd be fine with me. I really wasn't planning on going to any cons this year, but I hear that Farlichu will be at A-Kon, so I don't want to miss that.
