My October conference has been officially canceled due to COVID-19. A lot of attendees had already canceled and the organizers just didn't want to chance anyone getting sick during the five-day event, so they worked with the hotel to move the con to the following year.
Normally, the conference moves locales each year, but due to circumstances and the legalities of a contract with a hotel, it's my understanding that we'll be in St. Louis for the next two years. I could be wrong and it'll just be next year in St. Louis, but staying with the same hotel chain for the second. I don't know and I'm not worried about it at this point.
I'm bummed that I won't get to see a friend of mine that I haven't seen since my first GRL in Denver in 2017, but on the other hand I'll no longer have the travel and hotel on the books this year and I may even show a profit!
The other bonus is that I can push the publication date of this current WIP out by a month, which I'm going to do. I've been struggling with it and the loss of that pressure to get it done will definitely help.

I've been wondering about a thing for a while and this weekend, I finally found out.
The thing I've been wondering is...can I fit into clothes for teenagers and little girls? I so often see so many cute things--not that I would everything, of course. But the answer is...
Yes.
DD and I were in Target on Saturday and I saw these two really cure dresses and I can fit into a size 16 for girls. My height is the X factor here. Since I'm so short, nothing will be too short or too long!
Look how cute! The blue one is like a button down shirts with a skirt and the red is like a polo with a skirt.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
