I brought my laptop with me to my parents' house when preparing for the holiday, but that was a nonstarter for multiple reasons. Not least of which is that, through my own carelessness, I managed to get a small burn in a very inconvenient location on my body. It's not severe, or anything, but it's been persistently irritating.
Olamot is still online, much like Icon was in Sukkot. For me it's fairly convenient, although I assume that the reason they organized it this way was because they couldn't be certain when lockdown orders would lift. Further, a lot of the regular participants are kids and teens, who are mostly not vaccinated (except some of the oldest teens). The Covid-19 atmosphere is still very much on us, although this holiday is immeasurably easier and less frightening than last Pesach. I am still not certain how I'll manage to balance the con events with my writing, and any other activities I might want to do during the holiday.
