WorldCon 77
Sunday, 11 August 2019 11:33WorldCon is in three days and I'm running out of time. Our flight is Tuesday night (to give me especially time to recover before the event itself) and I feel like all the time between now and then is going to be dedicated to travel arrangements. We already managed to screw up the flights (twice, don't ask) so that we'll miss most of Monday's events. Which is a shame, but I keep reminding myself that it's outweighed by all the cool things and people we'll get to do and see.
Given my mortal terror of being late to thinks, I've already had two separate nightmares where I managed to sleep through or otherwise miss all the events I wanted to see. They have about the same tenor as the dream where you suddenly discover at the end of the semester that you have an exam due for a class that you don't remember signing up for. I get those, too, pretty regularly. In the daytime I manage my stress more or less okay, mostly by keeping busy or distracting myself, but the unconscious mind is a terrible thing.
We have two flights with a layover so I'm gonna land in Dublin bright and early and completely exhausted. Somebody please cut me open so I can get some fucking sleep.
