did you know that it gets light before five a.m.? i’ve been up since about 4:30 and i hope i’m going to go back to sleep soon, but of course that won’t happen if i keep sitting here on the couch with the computer on my lap.
we’re leaving for florida this afternoon. i have to put my clothes in the suitcase, but i already have them in a huge mound on the floor. maybe i’m taking too many things. i’m probably taking too many things. i can’t help it. maybe i won’t take as much as i’m planning.
i got up because i felt that there are many many things i have to do before leaving. i try to never, ever fly anywhere really early in the morning, because that way everything has to be done the night before. we’re not leaving the house till two, and this way i get all morning and part of the afternoon to remember everything.
i’m not taking my computer with me.
I’M NOT TAKING MY COMPUTER WITH ME.
gee, that’s going to be kind of strange. computer-less. although less strange than at other times in my life, because i’ve been so busy that i haven’t had time to be on the computer so much.
ok, that is a COMPLETE AND TOTAL LIE. i didn’t lie intentionally, it’s just that right now i’m typing in my sleep, i should be sleeping right now, i don’t know why i’m not. but anyway, i’ve been spending HOURS AND HOURS on the computer, looking up honeymoon destinations and wedding stuff and just stuff in general.
but i haven’t been doing so much writing.
WHEN am i going to start writing another show? i’m actually thinking about one.
it’d be nice to take a walk right now, except that i’m really sound asleep in the next room.
MFH thinks that we’re going to share his huge suitcase. i’m very skeptical that my stuff is going to fit in half the suitcase. maybe my shoes will fit in half the suitcase.
i know i’m taking too many shoes. we’re only going to be gone through thursday, but i’m taking at least five pairs of shoes.
but at least most of my clothes are small, because it’s warm outside. nothing bulky like sweats and sweaters.
i woke up and started working on these questions for a press release for our upcoming show, “danger: adult content.” i went on and on and on for a while, but i’ll wait and send it when i’m officially awake, because maybe i’ll have to edit the content a little. if you see one of the posters around town, please know that i look HORRIBLE in the photos and i promise i haven’t really gotten totally ugly all of a sudden, it’s just not such a great image of me.
me me me.
it’s going to be a funny show. i have to start memorizing. i could have been memorizing for an entire hour now.
i just saw some runners jog by. actually, i just saw their legs, because the shade is only up a little bit. i wish it was up more because i’d like to see out, but i’m too tired to go over and lift it. plus of course i’m actually really asleep.
what about sunscreen? and a deck of cards? i wish i had a pen, to make a list of things i think i forgot about taking. do i need a hairdryer? we’re staying in a condo, i bet they don’t have a hairdryer.
they might sell sunscreen in florida, though, you never know.
it seems very decadent to be going to florida when i should be saving my money for the wedding/honeymoon/quarterly taxes.
would it be socially acceptable to say that instead of wedding gifts, i want money to help pay my quarterly taxes? because they’re due june 15th, and then they’ll be due again on september 15th, THE DAY BEFORE OUR WEDDING. how will i remember to pay them the day b4 the wedding? actually, it’s written in my calendar so i won’t forget.
i guess you won’t hear from me till thursday. unless i write more later today when i’m awake. and unless i find a computer somewhere when i’m gone. i bet i could find one at a ft. lauderdale library. i’m sure they have libraries in florida, with huge large-print book sections. yeah, i bet you’ll hear from me. you never know.
i’m going back to sleep now. i really hope you’re still sleeping, although now it’s 6 a.m. and i realize that some people get up that early, some of them even earlier.
goodnight.
saturday morning june grace.
