I don't have any travel plans for this year. Yet.
If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Shit.
Two weeks ago my boss forwarded an email from her boss. The one from her boss said she needed to attend an interview of an instructional coach at the district offices. She forwarded it to me (maybe without her boss's knowledge) and asked me to attend. I said sure.
I put it on my calendar for 1/27. Except it was today. AT 9:00 AM.
How bad is this? I just sent an apology, but how bad is this?

It happens. One of the reasons we do day-before reminders for even trivial meetings at my workplace.
Holy shitballs, bengay is a totally different ballgame than icyhot (target was out and so I figured I'd use the stinky stuff at night when I didn't care if I smelled like my late grandpa.) I might've rolled around on the floor. My skin on my back is dryer than normal due to the weather (and always moderately dry dur to my swim habit,) and WHHHEEEAAAAHHHRG. This is overkill. And Pumpkin is way way way too interested.

I think I need this hat: [link]

Fancy!
I wish I could wear hats. They irritate the hell out of me. Only one I wear is when it is cold as shit, a mossy green velvet number that I can pull the brim over my ears. Got it in Prague for that reason alone, 18 (!!!) years ago.

Our wings are not tired
I was specifically lamenting the overseas travel and/or vacation length travel.
My trip next month is at least partially for work. I will be speaking at Queen's University Belfast.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ooh, you're a guest lecturer!

I'm doing a show in Omaha...
When? I have bunches of relatives there, that I like, that would welcome a visit from me.
Short term is getting someone trained well enough that I can leave my business to travel more. In the meantime I have to be the destination since I seem to be indispensable, against my will.
I will be speaking at Queen's University Belfast
Nice work if you can get it, so to speak!
eta: also so down with a trip to Iceland.

Iceland is amazing! I loved my visit there. The Reykjavik cathedral is gorgeous, and there's art all over the city. If you like seafood you're in luck, 'cause it's amazing. If you like food that you only eat on a dare, well, the rotted shark is for you. Make sure you have the schnapps they call "the black death" on hand, because that's the only thing that will get the taste of rotten shark out of your mouth. There's a wang museum. There's a very walkable downtown. There's a rotating restaurant on top of some water towers--great food and a terrific view.
