Last day at home…

My job today is to pack up the last little bit of stuff (laptops, cooler, suitcase) and stuff it into our already extremely-full car, then go through the house and give it a thorough cleaning in the event that someone wants to see the house while we’re in Chicago. Hmm, I need to call the realtor too, since some kind soul left the door on top of the flyer container open during the downpours over the weekend and all of the flyers within got soaked. Oh, and I’ll probably stop at the grocery store on the way up to pick up Takaza to pick up some munchies for the road, too.

Let’s see, we’ve got about seven hours of driving to do tonight to get us through to Morehead, Kentucky. We’ve got a good audio book to help speed along the miles, so that will help (all 20 hours of it! Yeesh) Then another seven or so hours to get us up to the convention hotel, where we’ll get in around 2 PM, hopefully. Wednesday night will bring an alarming number of folks to our hotel room to help stuff bags with flyers, con books, pocket programs, and other goodies. Thursday brings more preparations, though really the only thing I need to do that day is pick up the chains and stanchions from the rental place and then set up Registration once Rusty gets on site Thursday afternoon. I’m sure stuff will pop up in the meantime, though, and I know Takaza has a bunch of stuff to do so I’ll probably wind up helping him.

Well, time to get motivated. Hope to see y’all at the convention!
