Iris: Aw crap, more tests! More waiting! More rabbit hole! But you've got the gussets in your pocket. I'll be on the CrazyTown Inn porch, with pitchers of appropriate drinks when it does come time to celebrate....at least for the end of this round.

proudtospin

oh yeah, pitchers of anything with a good kick would be fine with me

Sigh, i was hoping to avoid this junk but doc today actually said it is not urgent andi have time to work this out

CeliaC

Heard there's a pocket party going on - count me in!

proudtospin

cella, by all means join the nasty party

queenmomcat

Time? That's good, I guess. For certain values of "good". Anyway, I'll have a range of pitchers, from innocent to lethal. Also a range of chairs on the porch.

octogirl

I've been offline for a bit but back now, so count me in for that pocket party!!!!

Hugs, Iris.

Jumping back into your pocket, Iris—it's good exercise! Yay on being able to cut your medical commute by a lot! Fingers crossed that the MRI doesn't show anything worrisome.

Having second thoughts about next week's solo driving trip to NC for that music conference—felt a bit faint & queasy at the end of my workout tonight, but fortunately my trainer knew what to do. What if that happens while I'm walking up the hill from my car to the conference center…in the mountains…in the heat? I'm realizing the logistics are such a pain, and there really isn't anything to be gained from the trip because I'm doing this solo and I realized I don't want to tour solo any more…heck, I don't want to even vacation solo any more. Two long days of driving, then schlepping luggage & instruments. Staying up late (to bed at 2 am) to showcase (to nearly-empty hotel rooms, mostly nobody in a position to hire me) and getting up early for breakfast. Housekeeper having foot surgery two days after I get home (she'll be off at least a month) and Bob & I fly to NYC little more than a week after that.

Yeah, the conference fee, lodging & meals is nonrefundable, but nobody there will be depending on me for anything; the CDs still aren't ready to release so I will be coming empty-handed; and I just don't think I'm up to the task. And it will be a task, when (at my age) it should be mostly fun. I always told myself when performing stops being fun that'd be the time for me to stop. Well, except for gigs w/in a day's drive (or during a vacation), I think it's stopped being fun. The logistics are getting to be too much. And I don't want to travel alone any more. Seeing my PCP for my “annual Medicare wellness visit" Friday—I'll ask him what he thinks.

Edited to add—much of this second-thoughts stuff has been influenced by the sudden death Monday of a great friend to all of us in the pen collecting community. On Friday I received a lovely handwritten postcard from her and her assistant, asking about my music and whether I’d be at the Chicago Pen Show this past weekend. I had planned to go Sunday but slept too late (and decided the budget couldn’t take any more pen purchases). Had I known it’d be my last chance to see her, I would have moved heaven & earth to attend. She was only a little older than I am. I know there’ll be people at the folk music conference I might not get to see again (except for the young kids coming out of conservatory and indie rock, we’re a boomers-and-older demographic), which makes my decision that much harder.

Hugs to all who need one

proudtospin

sandy, your thoughts strike a point with me as well. I have mostly traveled solo myself. Often driving to maine where i would meet up with pals. But not so much anymore. Now trying to figure how travel to do

I feel much bettér after meeting with the rad doc yesterday, the plan is coming together and today, no phone calls to make !

M0mmyof3

Wonderful Iris!!!!

FireKracker

Love ua

FireKracker..

Sandy, deepest sympathies on the loss of your friend. On the NC trip - not sure where in NC you are going, but that could be quite a solo trip if driving from Chicago. We are 5 hours from Chicago and then another 6 hours to Asheville, NC (is that where you are headed?) and I find 6 hours would be a tough solo drive. Maybe you can stop enroute to break up the journey?

Hugs to all who need one.

PoppyK

FireKracker, Time for a ride on that broom of yours!

Iris, Happy you can go to a closer location. Brought snacks so we can all stay in your pocket.

I like the names on the notecard idea, Molly!

My son, Matthew, is working on his Boy Scout Eagle Project. He had the actual groundbreaking last weekend, but this Saturday the work continues. He is installing a brick over concrete path at a local wildlife center/park. It would be amazing to finish the project Saturday, but if not, there's the following weekend. The school's tennis team won the first round of playoffs yesterday, so he has another match on Friday.

Sandy, sorry for the loss of your friend.
