firefly124AAAI-ISMA finally has their brochure up for August. If I go, I'd be tempted to do the Older Adult Fitness program on Friday, then just take random classes for Sat-Sun. The main point would be to renew my Yoga and Wellness Coach certificates. Then I tell myself there's no real point, and plane fare aside, that'd cost almost as much as Infinitus, which we've already determined is not going to happen. Also, the hotel is expensive, and I'm getting too old for the "cram 8 people into a double-occupancy room" thing. Not to mention the snoring. I suppose I could try sleeping in my car, but ... yeah, getting a bit old for that too. Then that little voice squeaks about how all those expired certifications would look great on a resume if they weren't all, you know, expired and shit.
As much fun as I've always had at AAAI, it's definitely tough being The Fat Chick at a conference full of aerobic and strength-training instructors. And does anyone really give a rat's arse whether a newly graduated nurse has a handful of random fitness certifications? Probably not. The Nutrition & Recovery one is more relevant anyway and doesn't expire. And it was issued by the state, which probably carries more weight too.
Also, HTAZP is going to be doing one of the (or the?) main rituals for RI Pagan Pride that Sunday. I'd kind of like to be there, which would be difficult (read: impossible) to manage while simultaneously in Hyannis. I don't think I've been to any Pagan Pride events since meeting up withbeltainelady, bluedolfyn, wodandis, theatrelady, and several others in NYC in, I think, 2003 or something ridiculous.
Almost unrelated to all of that, my asthma's been annoying lately. I knew that the air quality had been aggravating it, but I think that last round of barely-caught-in-time bronchitis did something too. Or maybe it's just having an inhaler that's making me take note of whether I'm whistling as I breathe and should probably take a puff, but I'd been noticing it well before then and sort of wishing I had one. Which would be another reason not to stick myself in a situation where, unlike normal fitness classes or Curves, I'm highly likely to be too proud to take it down a notch if I need to, which is always a fibro risk and now might be an asthma one too. Bleh. So, yeah, not so unrelated after all, but instead another good reason not to go to AAAI.
There seem to be way more things in the "no" column. But I think the part of me that is annoyed about missing Infinitus just wants some kind of con-like-thing to go and do.
In other news, no more writing outside The Fic That Wouldn't Stay Dead has happened, but TFTWSD has now passed 160K. *facepalm* I also got a bit of tagging done yesterday on thefangirl_tour. I'm annoyed with myself for letting it sit so long, especially since it took a whole 2 minutes to fix up the browser tools that were needed and were my excuse for "not getting to it," but I may yet catch up before the ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

Not working tonight, as I'm going to Hartford Pride with GSA tomorrow. I no longer have any idea what to do with myself on a free Friday night. I should try to find a hat of some kind so I don't get another scalp burn, but I'm tempted to wait and see if I can't find something in Hartford. Yeah, no. Scalp burn. Guess I'll drag my butt to Target or something. Which would also mean putting this rambly post out of its misery. Yeah, good idea.
Happy weekend! *waves*
