vacay, vacuum, and a volunteer
I've committed to going to the Folsom Street Fair this coming September: I've paid for a hotel room for the Tickler and myself not too far from the fair. They picked the place, and it'll be nicer than the one I stayed in last year. It is, however, more expensive, which means no more buying things for the Devil Girl House for a while.
Speaking of buying things for the house, I got a Dyson Animal 3. Of course I vacuumed my bedroom as soon as it arrived around noon today. The carpet in that room is now cleaner than it's been since I moved in. Like the Aeron chair, it lives up to the hype. Its head is smaller, which makes it ideal for the numerous tight spots in this here Devil Girl House.
Which brings us to the volunteer: I speak of Taller Woman, who is one of the organizers of the first ever Pride festivities in Snohomish, Washington, a cute little town about 20 miles northeast of Seattle. TW has encouraged me to attend; it's happening on June 3rd. I'm all for new Pride festivities in small towns, but my problem is getting there without a car. Yes, there's a bus that goes there from Seattle, but it does weekday commutes only. To add to the drama, remember that Taller Woman is battling cancer. Again. I... kinda feel like I have to go.
Oh: going to Folsom means not going to Burning Man. I am, once again, mostly OK with this. If I can ever find a camping arrangement that would neither mess me up physically nor constantly remind me that I'm in my fifties and single, I'll jump at it, but that year is not this year.
