Dana is being just wonderful! She wisely sent me out on errands so that I would have something to work off my annoying habit of worrying about everything, including stuff I can't do anything about.
I did get her to react impatiently a couple of times today (so far) asking about stuff she can't get to right away but knows needs to be done, and once questioning a decision that'd already been decided.
I really am annoying. I know it. I've been this way my whole life. Ask my mom when you see her. She'll tell you!
But see, Dana is a really, really good person, and hasn't even come close to threatening physical harm.
She's calmly doing church-related work that has to get done today. Later, we're going to help.
Dana's mom is in the kitchen making purple frosting flowers for the wedding cake.
I'm staying out of the way and hoping that she still thinks I'm cute after this is all over.

Aww... I have a car, but I need the exercise. I guess ten minutes driving means something vastly different in the city as the country. :/

Ryuko, do you have a non-refundable room at that hotel? Because there's room for one more in Shigosei and mine's room (and I think I can speak for Shig in this case, since there were originally going to be three of us sharing the room). As long as you don't mind a trundle.
Won't work for tonight (I assume you either are there or will be shortly), but would for Friday and/or Saturday.
Let me know if I need to call them and tell them we need the cot (they said one could be added at any time).

There IS wireless internet access at the hotel. However, in our room, it really will only work in a couple spots. Actually, this one spot on the corner of one of the beds. We're on the top floor, so I imagine we're fairly far away from access points.
Yay for access! On the phone they said there was no access in the rooms, so that's good to know.
I can't finish packing too early. The frozen food would like to stay in the freezer as long as possible. But in about ten minutes, it's getting stuffed in the cooler, which will get stuffed in a bag and surrounded by the clothes and other things that don't fit in my carry-on. Everything is ready to get packed, all together on my bed.
I think it's everything.
And my web access keeps flaking out! Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

dkw and I, sitting at different computers, both just started giggling. We looked at each other's screens and saw was had both just read punwit's post, and started laughing outright. Exact same time.
See you guys soon!

I think this thread needs to stay near the top ... and this will make it closer to turning the page ...

I emailed you (again). I will be available anytime tomorrow that you want to pick me up. Just let me know. If I don't hear from you, I will probably call you in the morning. I will be working until 10-10:30 tonight but can be reached at work (scroll down the page, look for the toll-free number in the right-hand column, my extention is 468). Sorry to make it so convoluted, but I'll probably edit this post and take out that info after we have connected.

Yep, now it's a real Hatrack gathering. We have two jatraqueros in the same place (admittedly, not the same room at the moment) posting to each other. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

Hey, Icky! We knocked on your door, but there was no answer. We're in the food court wondering the same thing. We're in 503, but didn't have any paper to put a sign on our door like you did.

You probably do . . . just move around. When we were in 512, we pretty much had access everywhere. Now I only seem to have access sitting in this chair right by the door. Jamie and Nate said they only had access in a couple of spots.
