gement | No Gallifrey for me.

Not this year anyway. Even if I do have the hat.

(No, I'm not kidding. My Hat of Gallifrey is not eight inches from my hand. Thanks again,

garillama.)

New cost-benefit analysis:
3 days vacation to go
Con membership (per person): $65
Plane fare (per person): $192
Hotel room (3 nights to avoid insanity): $300-$400
Food: Not figured in on the first go-round
3 days vacation to take alternate class
Renegotiating class with boss after I fought tooth and nail to get training as soon as possible
Neither of my darlings (nor my backup emergency darling) turns out to be available to go, old school fans though they be.

It's just not adding up.

rm, thanks for the offer of hotel arrangements, and perhaps I will arrange my plans better next year. Have a drink with Mr. Cornell for me.

I'm very afraid that I'm at a crest of my fan energy right now, and that next year won't be as amazing or golden, and it will be somewhere far away that's much more expensive to fly to. All of these things may be true. Also, my Hat of Rassilon may have pills on it from overwearing by then. Somehow, I must carry on. It's all good. This is a poor little rich girl problem, and I know it. ;)
