Can't make it in person?  Be sad no more!  Flick me a message by Oct. 5th and I can either Skype / FaceTime you in, or be your virtual servant for the day.  :)

If the hooman herd gets too much, feel free to hide away in my bedroom.  I'll jam-pack it-up with fidgets, books, stuffed toys, & such.
The door blocks out a surprising amount of noise and the blinds can mostly block sunlight.  :)

Thanks so much for your support!
I hope to see you there!
