So, it's August.

Ah, the long, lazy days of summer. Except not. In the next four weeks, I have to:

    • Transition to a new blood thinner.

      Get all the prep work for both Worldcon and Burning Man done.

      Get in for a medical exam and two orientations for the crossing guard job.

      Take part in at least three online meetings for Worldcon Publications and Newsletter.

      Do all the laundry.

      Pack for Worldcon.

      Pack for the Playa.

      Do last-minute work on the Free Trailer Beowulf

      Attend and work the 76th World Science Fiction Convention (August 16th-20th, although I'll probably be on-site working newsletter on the 15th.)

      Spend the next three days after the con making sure our pallet is properly loaded and moving things like clothes into the trailer.

      Getting Darby an oil change and a good washing.

      Load Darby and Beowulf. Final gas top off.

      Go to Burning Man.


  • A busy couple of weeks. The part that drives me nuts is waiting for the city to move the wheels on my crossing guard application. As I was telling Kirsten last night, in the Army I would have been handed a stack of papers and told: "Go to building 14 for your medical, then report to headquarters for your orientation." Since I'm motivated to get this done, I'd move out at a range walk.
