What I thought was fire was only a spark

There. I have purchased a WorldCon membership. I will be in Montreal in August. My bank account is alternately crying and shaking its impotent fist at the crazy-ass exorbitant cost of this membership. I had better be greeted by cabana boys with free booze and danishes when I get there.

Now I must return to cleaning my house, so my cat-sitter doesn't see the kind of squalor I live in.
