Con attendance:
Meredith is now out of school, and sleeping some very long hours, catching up on her sleep, energy, you name it. Her artistic roller figure skating training schedule for the upcoming meets (Regionals in Flint, MI at the end of this month, and probably the National Championships in Fort Wayne at the end of July) mean that she’s spending every day except Friday and Wednesday at the rink at one time or another - working on her own freestyle routine, or the pairs routine. And this weekend is a special event for her skating club at the rink; a showcase / revue for the public of the younger kids who take the group lessons on Saturday mornings, and the hot skaters and their routines, including Mere’s pairs and her freestyle single. And she has a two-hour plus practice that morning….
Given her crunch / tired levels, money and time for all of us, we are way cutting back on things this month; no Games Day and no Duckon. Period.
Depending on what she places in at the Regionals, her practice schedule will be different after the results are known: if she and her partner place in the pairs routine (and she places in nothing else) her practice time will be cut down to the stuff that she’s going to compete in at the Nationals in Fort Wayne at the end of July.
After that, we will be at Musecon the first weekend in August; it looks like a real blast. No Worldcon in Reno in mid-August, however, and nothing else until Windycon near us in November.
