We are just a few short months away from the 2025 version of the Parade of Wonders, which fills the streets of downtown Calgary with cosplayers from all across the land. I almost didn't make this one, as I have been dealing with a torn shoulder for the past couple of years; fortunately, with some physio in the month leading up to this, I was able to pull through. Compared to previous parades, I was much more stationary, and for whatever reason, it worked well enough, as the route was completely different. Since this I have had shoulder surgery to repair the tears and now am rehabbing with the aim that I will be back to full health in April for the 2026 version.
