Packing It In

[dmarley]

So, I think I'm packed for DragonCon. Maybe. You'd think after twenty years that I'd have con-packing down to a better art than this. But, no, I'm still dithering around knowing I'm packing too much and still wondering what I'm forgetting to bring. Still, it's no mean feat to even be at this stage at 11pm the night before.

We do have the food down to something of a system by now. My job is to cook salmon patties and bring the water filter pitcher, so, naturally, I'm bringing other stuff that other people are probably responsible for bringing anyway. But I know I'll be peeved if there's no gnarly EasyCheez, so I'm bringing my own. Mmm, chemicals.

We're heading out as soon as we can tomorrow morning--though not as soon as pktheater and two other friends, who are, in fact, leaving first thing tomorrow morning, as in leaving at midnight. Albert and I are hoping to hit the road about seven hours after that.

My mom happened to be in town this week, so she's actually coming over tomorrow morning to pick up Boo and take her home with her, which will save us about an hour's detour to drop her off on the way to Atlanta. We went out today and did some of my last-minute grocery shopping and dropped off a key so ladypredator could kitty-sit for me. Yay for short-notice cat-sitting friends, is all I can say. :)

Picked up Melissa's three paintings last night, brought them home and put them in Boo's room to prevent curious felines from destroying them. I had a dream this morning that one of them became thin as gauze and started developing runs like a pair of panty hose. I was trying to hang them, but kept screwing up and putting them facing the walls and poking holes in the canvas. No, I'm not nervous about being entrusted with her babies, not at all....

Anyway, I should probably quit fooling around on-line and get to bed, so I can wake up fifteen times thinking, "Oh, I forgot to pack X!"

Bon Voyage!

I'm jealous as hell that you're going, but really glad you are. I hope you're planning to make a detailed con report. (And if you happen to run into an author name of Jim Butcher, tell him I said hi, 'kay?)

Maybe next year I can bring my Musketeers (vickita, concorde, and Tallulah). Concorde is matriculating in Italy, but she's supposed to be back and hanging out around D.C. by next year. Of course, V.'s already sworn to take us all to Vividcon, too, so, we'll see.

So, is this your first time away from Princess Grace, I mean, Boo? You're going to have a goood time!

Have a safe, fun trip and don't worry about the felines. I'll stop by Saturday and check on them. :)

Bon Voyage!
