To absent friends

Posted on | 2 years, 11 months ago, around lunchtime | No Comments

Last night, Team Seattle (at least, those members who are presently in town) got together to celebrate the birthday of our friend and associate Psynde. Over in Queen Anne we did Mexican food and margaritas, then coffee. It was a marvelous evening, and I fervently hope we did credit to our guest of honor. Really, she deserves the best.

I feel like I’ve been all but offline for the last week or so now, and that there are many additional things about which I should update here; but nothing is springing immediately to mind. Mostly, the last week has been a time of (interesting, challenging) forehead-wrinkling day job and creative work, good news that must stay quiet for a bit, some very fine socializing, a bit of unexpected snow, electrician accommodating and dodging, and preparation for the upcoming Paranormal Bender Tour.

These tour preparations have included (but were not limited to) such diverse elements as a marathon of hair dyeing, testing and charging of electronic devices, wrapping up dayjob responsibilities in favor of next week’s dayjob responsibilities*, and shopping like a madwoman for travel supplies — plus a few clothes that might trick people into thinking I’m a moderately civilized adult. It’s amazing how working at home for a couple of years will lead to an utter collapse of civilized adult clothes.

Today I plan to do a little more running around, nabbing last-minute essentials (am out of face soap, for example). I need to do laundry something awful. I need to change the cat box, establish the fish in cleaner quarters, and begin to sort stuff for packing. Got to get myself in gear, roll up my sleeves, and make sure everything is squared away before I take off for a week.

But man.
It’s going to be an adventure!


* I’ll be working on the road. Actually, I think we all will. I just thought it’d be easier/best to wrap up the one project, and start a new one fresh in the car on Tuesday.
