It's been five years since I made one of these posts, since ACEN 2019, and boy has a lot happened since then. COVID cancelled ACEN 2020 and ACEN 2021, and by the time ACEN 2022 happened I had a family and couldn't just run off for a weekend and leave a nearly-invalid ![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
sashagee at home with Laila, so I went just for Saturday night to see people and then came back home.
