it's not okay that I keep using this journal just for travel plans but... ... ...???
I mean, I've had a million things I've wanted to post about and honestly it is 100% laziness and lack of self-discipline that are stopping me. The closest I've gotten was having a Wonder Woman post draft open for the past week and not doing anything about that. (It is not a brilliant post by any means. It's mostly strings of exclamation marks. but still.)
ANYWAY. I'll cut this short to make sure I actually frigging post something this time.
Important life updates: I'm unemployed! And have been for the past 3 months. It's okay. I was mostly happy to leave my job after 6 years there, I was okay financially to take a break, and while there's a vague freakout of 'what will happen in the future?' lurking in the back of my mind, I'm mostly okay about it.
Since 'between jobs' is basically one of the only opportunities I can get to travel for longer than yearly-vacation days allow, I knew I'd really regret it if I didn't take the chance to travel a bit, and okay, I'm not stretching myself quite so much as to try out new continents, I am taking the opportunity to venture further west and north in North America than I tend to do.
SO, my general plans are thus:
June 12-...20th? ish? - NYC
June 20-29(ish) - West Virginia(?) + Arkansas
June 30-July 4 - Montreal
July 5-14(ish) - Atlanta
July 15-31(ish, I know, I'm annoying) - Seattle + Vancouver/Vancouver Island
I was planning to go back home after that, but am now considering extending to Aug 6 to be able to attend the penultimate Vividcon in Chicago on Aug 4-6. I CAN'T DECIDE. Idk idk.
All of this to say: those are the general whens and where's of where I'm gonna be. I would love to know if you will be in any of those areas at any of those times - and would like to meet up if the stars align properly.
I would also love to know if you plan on going to Vividcon, just because the more I know the wiser I will be making a decision on internal flights et al (and also where to stay etc).
/THIS HAS BEEN AN UPDATE
*once more vows to self to post more often*
*no but seriously that Wonder Woman post*

And I will definitely be at Vividcon, and would love to see you there, too, and you'd be more than welcome at the Shabbos dinner I'll be hosting Friday night at Vividcon.
Also, re Wonder Woman: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>INTERESTING DATA POINT
*eyebrow of intrigue*
From your schedule it sounds like that would be the only opportunity to see you on this trip (I'll be out of state on training the weekend you're in NYC), but I did just get to share you in Dec. so I won't be greedy. :)

I'll have a very new baby by then, so we might have to make plans on the fly when you're here. I live not far from the Olympic Stadium/Botanical Garden, so if that's something you were planning on visiting, we could do that together :)

BY THE WAY I don't know how close you are to Toronto, but Showstoppers! The Musical are there for the entirety of June, from what I've seen.

And Canada is very large, so I'm not particularly close to Toronto, but thank you for thinking of me!
