We're home
Saturday, September 10th, 2005 06:02 pmThe cats are unusually clingy; Scrabble even slept on the bed with us last night, which she never does, and Mozart calls if I go out of his sight for more than a minute or two. Max! and Patia are Steve's two shadows, switching over to me when he goes out to run errands.
They're usually much more sanguine about our occasional long absences -- and subsequent returns. Mary reports no unusual happenings, and no overt upset on her shift. Could be they were watching the TV news and got themselves all bothered -- geography's not exactly their strong suit...
The ride down to Dragon*Con was by turns harrowing and drear, with unrelenting gray skies when it wasn't actually pouring. We dodged out of Springfield, Mass., on Tuesday morning, just ahead of a tornado watch, and fled in the rain to Chambersburg, PA, our arranged stop-over for the night.
( Road trip and con details behind the cut )
Yesterday was a bit of a wash, as the first day home from cons always are. We unpacked, started the laundry, coddled the cats, watched "Night on the Galactic Railroad" (which was Deeply Strange), and went to bed early.
Today, we did errands, more laundry, and this trip report. I've got a bunch of paperwork to do from the con, and life-as-it-is to catch up with. The property tax bill arrived today, the checking accounts need to be rectified, and we need to make room for eight or nine hundred trade papers, which will be arriving sometime early next week.
