Made it to Pittsburgh!
Jan. 11th, 2008 01:07 amMan, I have had so much to do in the last week, I haven't had the slightest bit of time to journal about it.
Car update: Flat tire was a nail, but it was warrantied, so no cost! The body work will come in at $850. Called the woman and told her both estimates. Predictably, because the total is over $1,200, and she still hasn't got her own car fixed, she now thinks she might have to put in a claim through her insurance. Le Sigh. I really want a check. I want it so that I can apply it to the replacement for the car. Not that I don't love my Ashley! But a car that doesn't drive places reliably is just not really much good.
The reality check of the car made me reconsider reconsidering going to EyeCon. Also, no Gulf Wars this year, even if I could do it financially - schedule precludes, as it conflicts with Sound of Music.
Okay, so last night I beta'd a chapter, packed, presided over a board meeting, and *then* recorded, edited, and uploaded a 20-page fic with 10+ voices...until 2:00 AM. Took about an hour to get to sleep because of all the psyching myself up to stay awake. Alarm went off at 6, I arose at 6:30. Arrived at work at 8, worked pretty much non-stop until 4:30, at which point I hightailed it (as fast as the MBTA would take me) to the airport, got on my plane, and flew here. Thought I would sleep on the plane, but instead I typed in the longhand of chapter 11 I'd written yesterday and today, and then kept typing until they made me turn off the computer, which was only seconds after I killed a major Victim-of-the-Week, yay, go me.

grouchyoldcoot, who picked me up and drove us through torrential rain to Max and Erma's, which was closed, so we went to the Sharp Edge, had deep fried cheese and then a yummy salad, drove home, admired the progress on his kitchen, helped insert the dishwasher hose into the freshly drilled hole that Joel drilled while I was watching him do it, unpacked the suitcase FULL of his Christmas presents (both his, as in for him from me, and his as in, from him for others) that he couldn't get into his luggage while he was visiting me, and now, we're catching up on email. It's 1:15 AM! I've been up for many hours, with only about 3 1/2 hours of sleep to have started me off.
:Iz ded. Okay. Girl Genius and then brush teeth and then CRASH.
