We're leaving in two weeks. Can I panic now?
Actually today was a good, productive day. We did some driving practice for Georg, and he did great! Much better than I did on my first day driving a stick shift. We went out to the Sheraton Imperial Center in RTP, where I had temped (at Embrex) years ago. It was the perfect place: a series of empty parking lots, many turns to navigate but not hilly at all. A security truck stopped us at one point, but when we told them what we were doing they were very nice and told us we could drive around out there as long as we liked.
They were having some kind of charity dog walk at the Sheraton Imperial today; while we were driving around we saw hundreds of people wearing matching T-shirts and walking hundreds of dogs. Luckily they were out on the main road through the complex, nowhere near us.
When we got home we worked on decorating the car. I finished up that spiral, did some toy repair, fixed up the Barbie whose bathing suit had gotten scandalously torn, and put a dozen little plastic loach on the front bumper. I want to do something really nice with the bumper, with beading around the loach. Georg worked on carpet repair, did some more planning for the bubble machine's mounting frame, and also cleaned out the trunk. Which has a leak, so it's always nasty and wet in the bottom, and also had a big ant nest down by the spare tire. Ewww!
This evening I did hand-sewing on my party dress while we watched Brini Maxwell interview Helen Gurley Brown, and then watched Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I'm almost done the dress, yay!
