getting ready

No barking last night, thank goodness - either someone else filed a complaint of the dog's owners dealt with it on their own.

My week has begun an accelerating spiral toward the weekend. I need to pack today or tomorrow. We get out of work early and leave for Sacramento Thursday evening - we'll go as far as Frasier Park, north of LA, that night and then finish the drive on Friday morning. We'll go see Rudder's grandparents that night, the race is all day Saturday (it gets longer every year), then we'll drive the whole way back on Sunday. Then I have a full week of work followed by another long weekend for Memorial Day - I suspect that one will be devoted largely to lounging and laundry.

I am planning on competing, but only in the 300-meter dash they hold at the end of the day every year. This year there are so many races that won't happen until 8PM, so I may skip i if I'm too exhausted or if they want to pack up the boat I'm borrowing by then. She-Hulk is out of the race too, because she's had some back issues and is trying to be careful and get ready for World Masters Games in July, but she's doing a lot of organizing for this race (a lot more than she planned, actually, as the city person organizing has been dumping on her without exactly asking first, and some of the people he's coordinating tend to want their widdle hands held and their races spoon-fed to them. (I expect that from juniors, but grownups ought to take charge of their own damn races.) Anyway, at least it makes her feel involved, so she doesn't seem to mind too much.
