I cannot recall when I have had such a tranquil preparation for the international calligraphy conference. Either it is the drugs, or the fact that I have been using the calendar to plan what to do each day in preparation. Yesterday I actually finished writing the apazine due this week.

Today I finally got some homework done in preparation, that the teacher for the workshop I am taking had suggested -- always room for more preparation, but at least I have done a bare minimum. For description of class see http://www.confluence2004.org/faculty/moore.htm

Then I went to the gym. And found sunglasses for driving. Now I am starting in on tomorrow's laundry and packing.

We are leaving Saturday morning, five artists, two vehicles, more art supplies that you might imagine we will need (considering there will be more for sale at the con), and a case of wine. Woo-hoo! It's down in Illinois, a half hour this side of St Louis.

Yesterday I got my hair cut very very short. It had reached that terrible stage of growing out where the white part underneath showed through in a little spot on the top of my head, and the brown color had turned orangey. So my hair guy cut it so there are only little tips of brown on the top. Very very very short. I put lots of hair goop in it to spike it so no one will think I had a horrible accident with a razor. No, I did this on purpose.

I can't figure out if no one at the gym was making eye contact with me before, or if this is new. The boys only look at me when the weights I lift are annoying large. It must be scary for the girly girls in their pink workout togs. However there was another woman with a dyke haircut who did.

Also Mr S got me my own cellphone. Now to learn to use it. Everyone needs a hobby.
