Surfacing

Recap of the last few days.

MONDAY: I worked all day (mostly on CVG stuff) then went home and did some sewing. Then Cheb came over and we enjoyed the paint fumes together while making visual aids for our panel! Whee! To bed, for the sleepness.
TUESDAY: I was "sick" and had to leave work at noon. Which resulted in me finishing up the last sewing bits. Done done doney done done! Just in time to skedaddle over to the Board Huddle, which was laid back and smooth this year. Yeah, baby. Much idle chatter later, I headed home. I could stay up late and pack or stay up late and get the concom book done. I did the concom book. Till 1am. Yuck.

TODAY: I awoke at 5-frikkin-am. What is wrong with my brain?!? Oh, well. I gave up trying to sleep at 6, got up and showered. And then packed. And then loaded up the car. And then drove to work. I will work all day. I will go to Kinko's over lunch to get the last little bits done. After work, I will go directly to my manicure/pedicure. Then directly to dinner. Then directly to hotel.

Somewhere in the next two days, I need to buy cookies.

I would be very excited right now if I weren't so demmed sleepy.

Only 45 minutes from freedom!

At 5pm, I walk out the door to my car. Then I will make an unplanned dash back home to pay the rent (d'oh!) then drive to my manicure/pedicure rendezvous with envoy and birdfigment. I believe it will be a fabulous jump-start to my convention weekend.

After I'm done getting gussied, I will then meander speedily down to join in dinner with Moneysnake and Reggie and many others. Num!

Then I will go to the grocery store.
Then I will go to the hotel and check in and unload and unpack and get settled.
And then...who knows?

Mom arrives late tonight with my nephew in tow. It's truly becoming a family affair!

Take note, all ye who would ask for last minute favors and/or information: I move into the hotel tonight, I move out Monday morning. If you need something, you're gonna have to track me down at the Rad!

Five Days My Ass!

Good lord - it really is a five-day convention.

If I had more vacation time, I would happily make it six (a Tuesday to recover would be grand. le sigh.).
