I've managed to get myself in a pre-trip funk. Some of this is the Sunday evening Where Did The Weekend Go funk. Some of it is outright guilt about this trip when there's so much work to do.

Do i take the inhalers in the carry on? Because i do get by without them, and i'd hate for them to be left at a gate because the TSA has a snark. They're supposed to have my name & the prescription printed on them, and they don't. I'm leaving them.

I think i'm punting on the camera, too. I still haven't gone through all my shots from Vancouver JCDL in 2007. I can always buy a disposable film camera if Austin has developed some omnipresent beauty i can't resist. Leaving that.

It turns out i'd already bought an immersable heater to boil water for tea. I'd forgotten the February purchase and paid for fast shipping to get this one. Only taking one. Also, head-slap.

I am almost done with the crochet trim on the tank top: today's long meeting for business saw to that. I've decided to take it to the plane, anyhow. I've just gone and purchased a stack of fiction from the Webscription library, all Subterranean Press books. I think I've heard much from Michael Swanwick on the Sci Fi podcast, so reading him will be fun.

I will be happy to stay put in July. I have a few things on my calendar, but nothing like the past few months. Christine's probably going back to NC in August to help her Mom relocate. I don't know whether i'll fly back for (some of) that. The move is because i think all the siblings are finally ready to face the fact that the memory decline my MIL is experiencing has reached a point where more care and support is needed. The concern lingers at the edge of my awareness.

Evening Review
Give thanks, share beauty, note joy:
Meeting for Business is an odd labor, but gathering to practice this way of being with others --when what we most strongly share is the willingness to practice the form -- it's quite remarkable.

I had a delicious blue cheese and egg sandwich for breackfast and had some time with Christine. Whom i will miss. We had some pleasant scrabble moves, too.
