I'm considering skipping Origins. We're in the middle of buying a house, and red-lynx is slammed at work. I'm in Pittsburg right now for work, and won't be back until late Wednesday. I mean, I'd like to play in the IIT, and I've been to every Big Experiment, but our family has been running in fumes for months. A non-evented block of time could really

Well, for what it's worth, I was considering skipping (part of) Origins this year too, but ultimately decided that I'd rather be at Origins than what I was thinking of doing instead. And believe me, I know the feeling of being overworked and overwhelmed.

I guess if you chose not to come, I'll see you at Pennsic?

And for what it's worth, I am skipping Origins this year due to family stuff. psilan is taking one of the rooms that I booked. Yay for room-finding!!

Either way, people will understand. You're in a very different place now than you were even a year ago - let alone 2-10 years ago. Do what's right for you and your family first (be that going or not going... either way, as long as it's what's good for the family), and everything will work itself out.

i'd miss seeing you (and meeting the bebeh), but giving yourself permission to skip fun things in order to rest is really, really important.
you'll make the right decision for yourself.
