Today was not a great day.  We’re three days out from Swancon and I’m coming down with a bug.  Yay.  Also I was at work and found out that an allowance I’ve been receiving comes to an end at the end of the month.  That means a significant drop in pay.  The best outcome for this is that I get my job reclassified or am the successful applicant for another related job in the same area.  This means a drop in family income for at least two months, and possibly for quite some time.  What does this mean? Well, suddenly the entire 2008 calendar is under review. Things we were going to do definitely have been moved to the maybe list.  The maybes are probably gone altogether.  I had planned to take four months of work, starting in July and continuing to early November.  That’s now very much under review.  I’d also planned to go to WorldCon in Denver and World Fantasy in Calgary.  Denver is definite, but Calgary has been moved into the maybe column — something I’m not happy about.

Where to from here? A lot of HR paperwork and keeping my fingers crossed that some book proposals that are out there find a home.   Joy.
