T minus 6.5-ish hours
Apr. 23rd, 2025 09:46 amAs predicted, Monday and Tuesday was just a preview. Today the uterus has gone full blown HAHAHA SUCKER!!!! and I am in the bathroom every 45 minutes or so. So far. It is still early and yes, I hate it. The good news is that usually spends the first two days like this, the third day is not QUITE as bad, and day 4 (Saturday) should be manageable while we are wandering the con. I do have plans to be out and about tomorrow, erranding, but it always feels different when I can spend most of the day at home.
I was Very Tired yesterday, but I did a pan of dishes (with intent to have the counter clear before I leave), made myself dinner, and then sat down with the silk skirt to keep pulling the velveteen bands off, just to have something to do. And then it was a socially acceptable time for bed, so away I went, where I was up every 90 minutes, roughly, to evacuate the disc. I feel pretty ok today, tired as usual but not excessively so.
So tomorrow, I plan to get the oil in my car changed. The place I've decided on does walk-in only (drive-in only? Hehe) and I will bring anything I need to sit and wait. I can hit the fabric store for that 1 yard of elastic I need for the slip. I need to do laundry, and I'd like to do a few loads. I have sheets to do so I can change my bedding to have it done already when I return, and I need to do the pile of "heavy" wash that's been waiting forever. NGL, I am very tempted to soak that load in the tub first so I can wash it with the regular load and it doesn't feel like the "heavy" soiling is going to be washed through ALL of my laundry. Cat things need to be done, namely the litter box, and I will collect up any and all garbage to be tossed right before I leave.
I will pay my end-of-month bills so I know what's left. I would like to write out my budget for the weekend, bc while I have saved a good chunk specfically for this trip, I can't go wild. Some of it needs to go back to my regular budget. Some will be applied to things FOR the trip, like gas. I want to write out the likely food expenses and "extras" (M found a place where we can cuddle with mini cows for like half an hour and hot dang that would be so great). In theory, it'll be better than last year, but not likely by a whole bunch. Deep breaths, because at the very least no one will let me go hungry. And this is why I want to write it all out, so I KNOW. Yes, I've been a little head-in-the-sand about the budget bc being an adult is poopy that way but at least it's been in the back of my mind so I didn't leave myself in a situation like last year where I had gas money and that was it.
After we get back I have three more days :D Monday will likely be just rotting after peopling all weekend, but on Tuesday and Wednesday I can do whatever I want! I will attempt One Major Task per day and then the rest is for meeeeee hehehehe.
