Finally a Miss
Posted By Kathleen David on February 10, 2016
After getting it in the teeth during the past two snowstorms, this one gave us a miss. So rather than have to dig out from 3 to 5 inches of snow, I have to dust off the car and that’s it. No need to salt anything or shovel anything and it feels good.
All this is even better considering the swan dive I took yesterday into the snow. I tore holes in both knees of my sweat pants, which stinks because those sweats were practically new. Hit my left hand on the palm and wrist that hurt like stink as my hand is still recovering from the spill I took in Philly. Cut up both knees along with various lovely bruises and I turned my left ankle. This morning the knees are protesting and the wrist feels tender. Managed to keep my head out of it.
So now I have to get ready for Farpoint and beyond. I think today I am going to deal with starting to sort what we are taking with us. Might have to make Caroline a light up hat. I do know I want to put the Holmes/Watson sets in the art show so I should make sure they are OK and I have the stands for them. No Phluzzies this year. Might pull out one or two other puppets to display.
I have the books we are taking up just have to get them organized.
Clothing is pretty much done. Just one load to get some things that we need clean.
Then, barring weather, we will leave on Friday and get down there in a reasonable amount of time.
But first a quick pick up of the house and making sure the cats have food and the like.
I am grateful that I am not out there shoveling snow today.
Sorry to hear about the “swan dive”. Get that wrist checked if the tenderness persists. Maybe see a chiropractor. I was surprised how much that helped for my back.
Maybe it is too early but are you and PAD planning to attend Orlando’s Megacon this year? I just moved to central Florida last year and I have never been to a big convention other that two small town Trek conventions in the ’90s. One had Robin Curtis (Saavik from STIIII and IV) and the second had Q, but I digress… I am considering going to Megacon this year. Have you ever been there? Is it appropriate for a 7 year old?
MegaCon is a very nice convention. I don’t think we are attending this year but I will check with Peter. We have in the past and Ariel was I think about 9 last time we went. I know a couple of friends who take their kids to that convention and haven’t had any bad things to say about it. I remember it as a family friendly convention.
