I have spent pretty much the entire day in a zoom meeting.

It was a necessary meeting - they needed to go through the processes and see what was happening where, and we needed to document it and answer questions in real-time instead of the back-and-forth of email. But hooboy that's a long day.

Gonna be some work on the weekend, too - system upgrade. Not as much as the technical sysadmin guys, but, still.

Damn tired right now.

What do you do with things that you're no longer fannish about? Autographed photos and whatnot? I bought a lot of these at cons, but even then I wasn't really interested in the collection of them, more in the connection that I got with the fellow fans and the opportunity to chat with the actor in the signing process.

I found a really great dress yesterday at a shop. Beautiful design, worked perfectly for my figure and everything. But it was more pricey than I liked. Also, I'm trying not to spend money right now. I feel like all my savings of the last three years have come to nothing. Yes, we spent it on windows and solar and a trip or two, but it still feels like being in the same place all over again.

Somehow, being on Zoom is more exhausting than an in-person meeting, IMO, but the flip side is that, if your camera is off, no one can see you rolling your eyes.

As for fannish things - a lot of folks put them on eBay, sell or give them away at a fan-run convention, or find a dealer who specializes in collectibles. The latter is probably better for things with major celebrities whose star hasn't faded.
