What went before: Business first; list of title affected by price increases
We now return to your regularly scheduled frivolity.
It is Thursday in Central Maine; cloudy, damp, and warm(ish).
Breakfast was cottage cheese, grapes, and toast. Second cup of tea to hand. Lunch will be a sweet potato because I have two left and I’d better eat them before I leave to go walking up and down in the world.
Ashley will be by in half an hour, more or less, and I’ve picked up the house, except for the kicker that Rook and Tali keep dragging off the sofa so they can play kicker-ball. Kicker-ball seems to have much in common with Calvin-ball, and Tali is quicker at the rule shifts than Rook, though I fear the moment he realizes How It Works.
Tonight is ASL class; today, I have correspondence to answer and things to put in piles in prep for said walking up and down. Yes, I’m starting to pack already. If I try to do it all on Monday, or, as Steve would do, Tuesday, I’ll hurt my back (no, I don’t know why, I just know that’s what happens), and we’re trying to avoid that, since I’m driving.
I also need to recheck the routes/maps. No, they didn’t move Cooperstown or Baltimore (though Baltimore is sinking, so that’s exciting), but I’m running without a navigator (yes, I Keep Saying That, and it continues to be true).
Tali is now on my lap, nibbling my fingers as I try to type — and, gone.
What’re y’all doing today?
Ah. Today’s blog post title is of course attributed to Mr. Buzz Lightyear
Packing in advance–oh, yes! I cannot wait until closer to the date because I *know* I will miss something if I do. This is what happened too many times before I realized that it might be insane, but I have to start at least a week in advance. If nothing else, I will find a place to leave the suitcase open, and toss things in as they occur to me. Then later, I can actually fold or roll clothing and tuck other things in where they will fit and/or be protected from airline tumbling. At least in your current plans, you will be doing the more minor jostling yourself.
