Thursday, by Plan A, I fly out of Austin to Atlanta for DragonCon.\u00a0 (Plan B through D takes me another way, in case Harvey the Destroyer, arcs back around and comes at us again, canceling flights from Austin.\u00a0 This is a very determined storm.)\u00a0\u00a0 So ordinarily, I’d have already done all the pre-trip shopping, and today would be laundry related to the trip as well as other laundry, and starting the packing.\u00a0 The bike crash interfered with pre-trip shopping, then Harvey did, so I may just wear the old stuff to the convention even though it’s now really old, some of it.\u00a0 The laundry is also behind (thank you, Harvey.)\u00a0 Both of these “problems” are nothing compared to the struggles of those still in the flooded areas, so I will now shut up about them,\u00a0 and assume the folks at DragonCon will ignore the old shirts.\u00a0 If not, my well-honed tongue might give them reason to ignore anything else.\u00a0 (Well-honed by having dealt with some people who desperately need an attitude adjustment toward human decency online yesterday.\u00a0 Should not have done it, but really…when you’re sneering and jeering at people in Harvey’s kind of trouble, from your oh-so-comfortable couch in a safe dry place…GRRR.)<\/p>\n
Today has many busy parts.\u00a0 The interior demolition of the future rent house started this morning.\u00a0 I need to do the laundry, yes, but I also need to get to the bank for trip cash (not everything can be done by credit card), the electrician’s office so they know I’m out of town and contractor will be reframing the closets this week so they can coordinate the movement of light switches and outlets, and contact the floor guy by telephone.\u00a0 I also need to bake bread today, tomorrow at the latest.\u00a0 And keep a close eye on Harvey’s track and all forecast possible tracks, to be ready to shift from Plan A to one of the others in a timely fashion.\u00a0\u00a0 Exactly where the no-longer-hurricane meets the land again, and its track from there, is only a little tighter then before.\u00a0 Packing so far has achieved only getting the books for the charity auction at DragonCon into their protective bag, and getting the week’s regular meds into the little divided container.\u00a0 The other meds…ummm.\u00a0 They won’t fit in that one (the little daily sections are full up with the five regulars, no room for the Doxycycline or the other Magnesium tablet.\u00a0 I like the little holders with the seven day supply; that does help me avoid missing a day.<\/p>\n
And so, I’d better get to it, and stay off the internet for awhile.\u00a0 Remember I’ll be gone the entire time I’m at the convention–not carrying any computer or tablet or anything and my phone isn’t that smart.\u00a0 (Tough, yes.\u00a0 If dropped it’s unlikely to break anything, it could fall into a bathtub of water and not be damaged.\u00a0 And it fits comfortably in my hand.\u00a0 But it’s not the phone for someone who’s constantly downloading data or playing games.)\u00a0\u00a0 I plan to check in here before I leave home, but if I need to switch to Plan B-D, that might be a day or two earlier, with a longer gap before I reappear here.\u00a0 Don’t worry about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
