Getting Ready
Oct. 24th, 2008 08:17 amI've been awake since about 4:00 am, which for me isn't exactly unusual.
My plan is to do domestic stuff early, practice reading my material later this morning, have lunch out (I think I might walk down to the Depot Coffeehouse: it's rainy and dreary, my kind of weather), do a little writing, read my material again this afternoon, shower and all that good stuff, and then call out for Chinese food for dinner. Right now I am baking (it's what we midwesterners do when stressed). My master plan is to distract them with food. There will be brownies and lemon bars for the audience tonight.
I have taken allergy meds to avoid sniffles. I've taken aspirin so I don't have a heart attack and keel over. I considered taking a bottle of scotch, but figured that might be a bad idea.
One more time with the details:
