Simply put, I'm stuck at home again this year. It was too expensive in a few previous years, then the Pandemic hit. This year I was stopped from registering by more pressing life priorities, with the icing on the cowpatty cake being losing our one functional car to the train collision.

I'll plan for attending again in 2024, provided we can find a new car before then and nothing happens to it. There's other concerns I have to keep an eye on, but the car search is the big thing at the moment.

I will continue to purchase art commissions where and when I am able. And even if they don't get posted in my gallery, the majority of them should show up elsewhere before too long.

I do have a Discord account so I can talk to people more expediently than through FA notes/comments. My Discord handle did change due to their removal of the #<insert numbers here> discriminators. Its just swordfox there now, no capitals.
