| Another all-nighter and I hope I don't suffer for it, i.e. the tummy acting up. It's been soooooo stressful trying to play catch up from a long time of no to low activity. Bills, bills bills, and coordinating and pricing and piecing together the trip to Clear Passage coming up way too fast. It's crazy-making. The price of this trip is huge, and that's not including the care. Holy crap. The logistics are reminiscent of when I was building my house, it seems as if it's make up your mind all at once, but not yet, because "this" depends on "that" which depends on "this" yet again....argh. And with my brems [a Gerry-ism instead of brains] broken and burnt out, well, it is hard to make it all happen. The cost is close to prohibitive. It's a huge gamble, but if it should work, it's priceless.
I'm afraid -- very very afraid of the cost of energy, time, money, and hope, or more succinctly, the price of hope going if this doesn't work. I'll be leaving with Kim (thank you dear friend) on the Saturday the 10th, probably the shuttle flight out of Oak Harbor [Gordy prefers it, and I dont blame him one iota, but more $ and one more thing to go wrong, but it's wisest, and my idea actually]. We get to Jacksonville at about 10:15pm Saturday [a call last night to Delta, gave me much needed data; I do have to deplane and go to another gate, not the same plane as first told by cheapseats...caveat emptor]. Next is a drive to Gainesville, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Yawn already. We're staying at the Best Western, but they are booked for a soccer tournament, so Friday and Saturday the first week will mean a hotel change. I reserved the Hilton...the price per night is about 200 with taxes et al...sheeeiiit. Sunday we check out, and it's back to Best Western. More realistic pricing. Due to flight availability and pricing and a slew o' stuff ad nauseum, we're returning home on Monday the 26th. It impacts car rental prices in a huge way, daily is out of whack price-wise, but I think it's better, to get a flight in JAX on Sunday would mean about a 3:00am check out. NFW. So, it's getting pieced together bit by bit. I just heard that William is now coming home early February, and then the family may come visit the Island while he's home, but it looks like, as of now, that I'll miss him entirely, and Jenny, Evan and Miz Robyn too. Crap again. But his being home is sooooooooo good, I'm psyched. C'est la guerre. So that's that to date.
Gordy stop snoring so I can come to bed for some zzzzzzzzz's please? Later y'all.
Peace
