Another astronomical event out the window

Well, so much for the best northeastern view of the Perseids in years--

It rained last night.

The bright side is that I got to sleep through the night!

A mistake in my favor

Well, hot damn. I just called Chatham CAC to see why I haven't gotten my info packet for the craft show next weekend, and after waiting all day for them to call me back, they finally called...it seems that although I got an acceptance letter and they cashed my check , they didn't mean to, somebody screwed up, and we are going anyway, now. Despite the fact we were actually juried out.

I think this is an interesting development. I wonder why this happened this way, though. I feel a little sleazy, even though it wasn't my fault that they made a mistake.

It will be interesting to see how this all works out.

Weird.

Yeep!

OK, I've posted more today than I have in the past 3 months. And on Saturday, we leave for NY to go to the Int'l Gift Show and buy stuff for the bookstore. It should be a fun trip, but my anxiety level is up about six feet above my head, 'cause NY is attractive and scary and awful all at the same time. And the Republican Convention is due in town shortly after we leave town, which should make things even weirder.

Then there's the craft fair that I've illegally gotten into, and the upshot of this blather is I'm leaving soon and won't be back until Monday the 23rd. I may or may not post between now and then.

I actually am looking forward to leaving on Saturday, because by then all the little details will either be done or not done, ta-dah!! Can't do anything else about it.

Gratitudinous day: not only did that thing with the craft fair happen, but one of my arts co-op colleagues called me today to say she picked up my stuff from Wilmington for me without any prior arrangement--so it was totally out of the blue. WHICH MEANS that I don't have to drive an extra 80 miles tomorrow on top of everything else, and I'm so grateful I'm a little weepy. So I'm anxious about everything else and high on gratitude, which makes me a little bit hyper.
