Greetings from California

[chanaleh]

Sunday night: was the last to leave the cast party (or at least W20), shortly after 1am. (Fortunately I haven't yet had time to be sad about the production being over, but that topic can wait until it hits.)

Having chosen to put off packing until the morning, was in bed by 2:30am, but lay awake until 3:15am *thinking* about packing, at which point declared futility, got up and packed. Returned to bed at 4am and slept until nearly 8:30am. Departed home at 10:15am, made it to Logan by 11 for 12:05pm flight, no problems (except for a tense two minutes while the TSA contemplated my jewelry pliers... but let me retain them, with a warning. I honestly didn't know "tools" per se were on the forbidden list). Rest of voyage pleasantly uneventful, if not technically restful.

Spent this evening (after we got dinner on the way home from the airport) cutting out paper turkeys to make placecard holders. Yes, my stepfather has been bitten by Martha Stewart... werewolf-style, I fear. :-)

Overall, it should be a fun week.
Bed now.

I hope you'll bring back some warm weather with you.

When I get into that state, I've found that grabbing a pen and writing down the stuff I want to remember helps me put it out of my mind and fall asleep. Otherwise I'll end up in a loop trying to remember everything.

Yep, exactly! and I'd meant several times over the preceding few days to make out that same list, and failed to get that far. But by that time, I figured I might as well just do the packing and have it done with.

holy cow, those placecard holders look pretty elaborate!

Actually, we gave up on the accordion-pleated "ruff" effect for the base, and just used two cross-pieces to stand each one up. And now all 12 are done, which means I can go back to my jewelry-making tomorrow instead. :-)

You packed in half an hour? It can take me a whole night...

Have a happy Turkey Day!
