MISTI-Con here we come
May. 2nd, 2013 07:23 pmI am so not prepared for MISTI-Con. Didn't make the costume I intended. Didn't order enough books. Didn't do the art I wanted to hang. Didn't even have time to write a hot fic to give away!
What have I been doing all this time since Ascendio, you may ask?
Work. Work work work. And illness. Unfortunately the illness (anemia, fatigue, etc) appears to be brought about by too much work, as well as too much travel and too little sleep. So I've been off the road for several months and trying to build up my constitution. Meanwhile each time I have a bout of illness, the work falls behind, and working too hard to try to catch up brings on a bout of illness... You see how that goes.
On the good side, I actually worked enough last year that I EARNED enough to not only have to pay taxes, I paid down my credit card debt significantly. So significantly that by the end of THIS year I might be out of debt. This is huge. The last time I had zero credit card debt was 1998. If I get out of debt this year (not counting the mortgage on the house...), I can slow down. But my health is already demanding that I slow down. So I'm trying to slow down all the non-revenue generating things and concentrate on the money-making things. That's meant a pull back from fandom, as well as BDSM activism, and also sports. The downside to that is I'm out of shape, which is also bad for my health, and guilt-ridden over being absent from the fannish and BDSM communities.
I am blessed that my writing brings in enough money that it is NOT on the "cut" list. It's on the "keep" list.
Anyway, can't wait for MISTI! I know I'll be seeing![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
