Just ask!
Although I say it all the time to others, occassionally I'm a little silly and forget myself. I didn't think I'd be able to go to an event that I had darn near promised myself after missing it last year. (That same certain someone who I allowed to poison my budding tea love affair also managed to convince me not to go because heaven forbid I learn something that he doesn't know!) This year, money was a little tight and unexpected expenses had sucked down the travel expenses I had saved for it. I was getting really sad and about to declare defeat when I sat down and in my heart, with deep sincerity, asked the Mysterious Ones (to use a Don Engstrom term) I have relations with to help me find a way to go that I wouldn't regret later.
The next day I had the biggest urge to take another look at the possibility. Hmm, I did have enough left in my misc spiritual fund for hotel. This is a money set aside that I kind of use to tithe to myself. I use it just for spiritual/personal growth things-books, supplies, but most importantly, going to events! (I'm hoping this fund will eventually get me to Convocation and Pantheacon too.)
I dug around one last time, payed bills, anticipated others....
Heh? What the heck was that much doing in THAT account?! I remember dropping a few bucks in there every once in a while and apparently it's adding up faster than I thought.
So yep, I'll be in Cleveland, June 6-8!
(and then the official vacation in July)
