Congrats on the vaccine and the promotion! The desire to remain hourly and not be salaried has held my career back tremendously, but I don't want to work evenings or weekends. I want my life.

Mid-December is a crappy time to take off work and travel, but we are planning on going. It's annoying, because we are going to Arisia in January, so we'll be going to the east coast twice in the space of six weeks or so.
