in between expeditions
Thursday, I got back from DeKalb--where I had a lovely time. Thank you, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rarelylynne, michaeldthomas, and everyone who came to the event. (I don't know quite what to call it, since it wasn't a reading and it wasn't a talk, and it wasn't exactly a Q&A, so let's just go with "event.") Also, OMG. Best Cupcakes EVAR.
Tomorrow, I leave for a week in Arizona. (Reminder: along with most of the rest of the Shadow Unit stable, I will be at the Tucson Festival of Books next Saturday. And may I just say that, irregardless of us, the TFoB looks pretty darn spectacular?)
In the interim, I need to buy a new swimsuit, as mine has become somewhat peculiar with age, and I suspect it will also no longer fit. I also need to reanchor the button of my cargo pants, as they are currently the best pants-for-climbing I have. And probably I need to do several other things, including putting away the clean laundry from last week (*ahem*) and, you know, packing.
I suspect this will start feeling more like a vacation once I actually get there.
ETA: Long-sleeve, lightweight white shirt acquired; 100+ sunblock acquired. Hat ready to be packed. Thank you,casacorona and lnhammer, for reminding me I would need these things!
Swimsuit also acquired.
