Not going to Worldcon

[julesjones]

I have a full membership for Dublin. I can afford to go money-wise. I can't afford it spoon-wise.

I made this decision last year, when it was rapidly approaching the time when I'd have to confirm with a friend whether I was going to be sharing a hotel room. I was hoping that I would have recovered enough from assorted medical mishaps by now, but I knew it was unlikely and it wasn't fair on the other three potential members of the party to cross fingers and wait. And no, I'm not up to it, even though I'll miss seeing my friends and going to interesting panels. Have fun, the rest of you, and bring back interesting stories.

I suppose the good thing about being wise in such circumstances is that it is less awful than the consequences of not being wise.

Hope your recovery is proceeding apace, if not as briskly as best wished.

Sympathies; that sucks. (Not going either, though I could make it across on the ferry and meet up in Dublin. If the weather doesn't ruin my plans - we're under 'high winds, don't drive if you don't have to' warning right now.)

That is sad. Have you sold your membership? There's a Facebook group for Dublin 2019 and people are still buying memberships last minute if you haven't already passed it on.

I'm sorry to hear that. Not sure how my spoons are going to hold out as there's many things I would do differently had I known how things were going to go, but there it is.
