Well, it’s 3:10 a.m. and my laundry is finally in the washer. I suppose it could be worse. My flight to Detroit could leave at 7 a.m. instead of noon. I have pulled out the cat-hair-covered suitcase, although currently the only things inside are underwear and a phone charger. Both are important, but I suspect my trip would be lacking if those were the only things to accompany me to the Motor City.<\/p>\n

Okay, I admit it, I am a little further along than that. Instead of putting my jeans away, I have left them on the couch to wear. This would be a bigger comfort if I didn’t have a different pile on the couch that did still need to be put away…<\/p>\n

And I bought two mysteries on Sunday to take with me — a Miss Marple and a Philip Craig Martha’s Vineyard tale. I’d meant to finish Anne of Green Gables<\/em> so I could take Anne of Avonlea<\/em> with me, too, but I still have 50 pages to go in the latter, so I’m thinking it’s not overly likely to happen.<\/p>\n

I have charged my camera batteries. I have paid 2\/3 of the bills I need to take care of.<\/p>\n

I have not bought contact solution, stopped by the bank, or decided on a knitting project to take.<\/p>\n

And I know, I know: I’m behind on blogging. I’d meant to get caught up this weekend or even to queue up some posts for while I’m away, but I got lazy. I probably won’t have a computer while I’m in Detroit, but I’m hoping there will be a free computer lab at the convention from which I can pop in and give you brief updates.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if the only post you get between now and Sunday is the Thursday Three Beautiful Things post, please don’t worry. I’m fine. I’m just wandering around Greektown<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
