Beginning of the crazy time

This week I leave for San Jose and Fanime, where I will merrily sell shirts to anime fans and enjoy non-90F weather. With any luck, my car will be in the shop getting the timing belt and sundry other items replaced at the same time. I still have to go borrow a carry-on bag from my brother, since the CPAP machine probably won't travel well in the hold.

Two and a half weeks after that, I'm getting on a plane to go to San Francisco for my little "brother"'s wedding. I need to find some nice well-fitting slacks that aren't too expensive, and probably a nice long-sleeved shirt as well. Weight gain and a workplace where I can wear t-shirts are not conductive to having a wedding-ready wardrobe. I'm just sayin'.

One month later is ComicCon. Right now bets are at 15 minutes before I see someone I know who isn't a vendor.

In the midst of all this, I have a 10th anniversary at work (I know!), my birthday, and the search for a new cat to keep Ripley the Wonder Cat from going nuts. Oh, yeah, I need to get off my butt and make the wedding present jewelry. Which I should have done when it was nice and cool--remember, my workspace has no heating or A/C. But I kept putting it off, and now I have to do it in the humidity of an early Central Texas summer. Oh well.

And summer classes start in 2 weeks. Two days a week, 5 hours at a time. Go me!

OMG, don't I hear you. I have jeans and shirts that I wear to work (boring, normal fit), and jeans and tops that I wear for going to music (*not* stuff that I can wear to work, generally speaking).

I can work the ar-teest look, with black-black jeans and a black top and silver jewelry, but if I needed to go someplace dressed nicely and conservatively, I'd be having to hit the mall.

We adopted our two cats from Donna at Street Cat Rescue. Of all my experiences with local rescue groups, this was the best.
