valis2My goodness, I certainly missed an enormous kerfluffle. Just to let you all know, I'm staying on LJ, until it seems that the vast majority of fen have moved elsewhere.
The show was quite crazy, hectic, and busy. I ran around like an insane person and had little time to purchase anything at the show itself, which is probably a good thing. I did hang out with the phenomenal![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
barda, hooray! Plus I ate yummy Japanese food three days in a row.
I returned to find that the state of Ohio is all Shouty McRanty because I haven't filed a tax return for the 06 sales taxes. Only I so totally did. So now I get to deal with the tremendous joy of calling and trying to get this cleared up, because I do not want to pay $700+ in their meeny penalty fees.
Also, I am more broke than ever. None more broke. Srsly. This will be the tightest month financially that I have had in years. Why? Because I have run out of quality things for eBay, so I purchased another big lot of closeouts, which happened to equal exactly what I made at the show. *sigh* And all the bills sitting on my table have increased, because I just haven't had the extra money to pay off the charges from the Giant Trip of Doom because I paid off a different, enormous debt. (At least I am feeling quite terrifically thrilled with myself for paying off the enormous debt!) So this will be the Month of Extended Whining (i.e., no difference from any other month). Thank goodness I have lots of new and improved finery for eBay. I am just crossing my fingers that eBay users haven't forgotten me. Now if I can only get TurboLister to work again...
I have also committed myself to another trip. This one is in August, to Las Vegas. I'm really crossing my fingers about it. I will (hopefully) be joined bysubrosax, and we will together retail our brains out for a weekend. I plan on stopping at Santa Fe as well, if possible.
So even though July is a relatively home-based month, August is INSANE and I will probably not be home for a single day of it. Damn.
I missed you all!
