Gearing up for the trip to Chicago. Jonathon and I will be at the ALA (American Library Association). Not open to the public, sorry. My understanding is you need to be a librarian or the guest of a librarian to get in. See, don’t you wish you’d been better friends with your local librarian. We had a lovely time at the last library conference we did in Cape Cod with the MLA (Mass. Library Association).
Book is going well, though not as quickly as I’d like. But then it seldom does. I’ll be glad to meet everyone in Chicago, but it seems like no matter when we plan a trip it always catches me in the middle of a book. But, wait, I’m always in the middle of a book. Oh, yeah, I forgot. But anyway, I managed to bunk my knee up so all those cool high heels I bought are out for this trip. But I hurt myself wearing flats. I’m the only person I know that can wear five inch heels and be fine, but will injure myself in totally flat sandals. Go figure.
The manicure and nail thing was cancelled when we arrived at the shop and found a sign for family emergency, closed until next week. I hope everyone is alright. Tried to get in and get the nails done elsewhere but everywhere I tried was swamped with walk-ins. I decided if it was a choice of having perfect nails or of writing more on the book, I’d write more on the book. Usually I fret if I don’t have the nails done and can’t wear some really kick-ass clothes, but not today. Jonathon and I will look nice, but the cruel shoes will stay home. Today I’m strangely calm about the whole thing. Usually any one of these, the nails or the outfits going off the list, would send me into a tizzy, but today I’m calm. I guess I’m saving the panic for the airplane ride.
