laundry is in the dryer. Suitcase is still not close to packed. Not started. I take solace in that I fly Saturday. Even tho Friday will be filled with work and opening night festivities. Happy landings Buffistas! Can't wait to see y'all!

Heh. On my list tomorrow: Lots of laundry. Dyeing hair. Pedicure. Remembering to charge camera...remembering that although I normally pack in about 10 minutes, when it's not a work trip, I need more time, since I actually want to LOOK nice (and will need more changes of clothes!)

doing laundry now and taking a brake to ice my foot. not at all packed. wondering if i should bother packing an ice pack...i ice at least once a day and wonder if i can get away with two days without. I think it would have to be in checked luggage....forgot to ask hotel if there are freezers in room..

You might not have one in the room, but in the hallway. I used to travel icing a lot, and it was usually doable, although sometimes with some help.

We are in Bakersfield. Wondering how long it will actually take us to make it into the LA area tomorrow. we haven't hit any of the really bad weather yet. If you got some gods to petition, maybe we will have an easier time than I think we will.

maybe i'll just bring a bunch o ziploc baggies and leave the gel ice packs at home. Hrm. i can imagine what TSA would think of a gel ice pack in my carry on luggage and it is not a pleasant scenario.

Well. My original flight was cancelled and now I'm flying into LAX but at least it's direct. Not pleased about having to pay twice to check the same bag. USAirways is so very much on The List. Special thanks to Laura and Brendan for rescuing a poor abandoned Empress from the bowels of LAX.

Aims, that sucks.

I am still awake due to a throbbing ear ache. I've tried all of the home remedies but alas, it's worse. Poop!

boarding..

Seriously, this being on the internet on my laptop on the plane thing is awesome.

Whee!

eta: except I foolishly told my office they could reach me.
