this just in: three headed dog beats out wildcat
Well, how unexpected. I won't be driving Peshwa to FRFF, I'll be driving Fluffy. (Peshwa, of course, is my little Pontiac, and Fluffy is Dad's little GMC truck.) It owes mostly to the fact that the lighter in my car is busted, which means I wouldn't be able to charge the phone up at all over the weekend, and that was making Mum skittish. And the truck has less miles on it than my car.
Packing, flitting around like a headless chicken, trying to do twelve things at once therefore accomplishing nothing. Ah yes, it's pre-trip time. :-)
Have I mentioned on here before that I'll be working 12 hour days to get my hours in early enough to have an even half-way decent departure time for my 10 hour drive to FRFF?
Actually (and I'll pretty much have to decide by Monday morning) we might come back up after we get our hours in, making the drive on Wednesday night. That would give me an opportunity to leave much earlier in the morning, which would be good for getting there early. Of course, then I'd be driving into the sun for longer, and I hate the sun. (brightburningdaymoon, it hurts us)
I'm actually on the computer now so that I can type up my packing list and print a few copies of it. (I like to be able to check items off both when packing to leave, and when packing to come back)
Evidently, I really am bringing Cuthbert with me. I took a moment from my general camping-shopping to stop at the music store and buy him a soft case. I'm a little surprised at myself. I really expected to back out of bringing 'im along. People're gonna laugh at him. And then I'll make them show me how to play properly. Well, ok, maybe not, but he'll be a nice prop so I seem like I almost belong there.
I wrote a paper journal entry about FRFF the other night at work, and I realize now I'm not going to reproduce it here. I would, normally, most of what goes into the paper journal goes up here -- it's more a something to write in when I'm not near the computer than a different system -- but I realized how bad/depressing/pathetic/whateveryawannacallit it probably sounds if you're not in my head, and don't really understand what I mean. So I'm not going to put it up here. Enough people are freaking out about me driving 10 hours by myself; I don't want to deal with people thinking I'm depressed or something again too.
And I've absolutely got to get back to getting things wrestled around now. But yeah, I'm takin' the truck.
