Many thanks for all the well wishing since my grandmother's passing - it's the support from unexpected quarters that brings the tears to my eyes. You are all fab!

So, I've been having problems sleeping (quel surprise, eh). Between the sadness over Rose's passing, the excitement for the WPBT, and all the fun things in between my mind has been going a mile a minute. Case in point - last night I was just in that blissful state of drifting off when my subconscious threw this thought out there:

"Do you know where your passport is?"

Fuck. Wide awake now. So got up and read my book I bought for the plane, cover-to-cover (note to self, pick up another book today). I painted my toenails. I knitted. I wrote lists. I surfed the blogosphere.

So now Hunny Bunny is awake, I've been suitably caffeinated and I'm ready to do the hundred things* I have to do before getting on the plane tomorrow for Vegas.**

In 36 hours or so, I'll be in Vegas. I cannot wait to meet you all! My plane gets in much later now, 11-ish, I'll be wandering around looking for folks to annoy shortly thereafter. If you see a shell-shocked redhead, buy her a drink. Quick.

So until then, take care, have safe flights, and practice catch-and-release when fishing.

* pick up rental cars, relatives, packing, laundry, buy a book, download my audiobooks to the iriver, charge the batteries on tech devices, pack charges for tech devices, get eyebrows done (yeow!), pick up brother at airport, download vegas and flight info to tech devices, find passport, funeral duties, service tomorrow, then drive me and brother back to airport.

** A huge thank you to Paula, who is likely the only person in Air Canada's Customer Care who actually understands what those words are supposed to mean. In less than 15 minutes, she found me another later flight to Vegas, without any bullshit or fees.
