Pre-Con Routine

I'm one of those crazy people who likes to clean before they go on vacation. So last night I did a load of laundry, vacuumed the whole apartment, (and it really does help to have the setting on 'floor' instead of 'hose'), and got out my suitcase so I can start tossing things in its general direction. This morning I started the dishwasher, and I plan on doing my sheets tomorrow night.

I've also realized (again) that it is impossible to only take a small purse and my computer bag on the plane with me, as I insist on taking entirely too many books to read (the only reason I'd really need the Kindle). So the big bag is getting to come after all, because it will have room for at least my journal and the Quaker materials I need to read over before my membership meeting early next month.

I must remember to: 1) look at my list, 2) pack pyjamas, 2) charge my iPod, 3) pack my glasses. I should probably also look at putting more of the university tracks on my iPod. And I should probably bring my charger, too.

The other essential pre-con routine is getting enough sleep each night so that AT the con, I can deprive myself of rest happily, or near enough to.

Okay: Before writing this, I wasn't nervous. NOW I AM.

There aren't the [deleted word] you're looking for...

I just read the word "droid" and somehow automatically translated it as a slang for "person," despite it being in the sentence, "...weren't the droid they were looking for."

Hello, brain. You still there?
