Well, I'm going up to White Plains to see my dad.

[capri0mni]

My cousin Toni has been pressing on me how important it is to see my dad (and I agree -- but it's just not easy to pick up and go), so we're leaving Thursday Morning around 7:30 am (I have to be up, dressed, packed and breakfasted by then -- may not go to bed at all Wednesday night; might not be worth it) and staying until Sunday, maybe.

I've been stressing about this, and the election (Virginians passed a constitutional ban on gay marriage -- even though there's already a law on it-- and that same ammendment refuses any legal rights to any couple, hetero- or homo- that are unmarried. Isn't this a wonderful commonwealth? *headdesk*). So I haven't written a single word today. And I probably won't get a chance to much tomorrow, and none until I get settled back in on Monday.

*sigh* If I'm going to stay up all night tomorrow, I should probably go to bed now, huh?

Take care of you, too. I worry.

Thank you *Hugs*

Yeah. I worry, too (though as I was awoken by strong menstral cramps, this morning, I think that Peamz may be partly to blame for my mental flailing, these last few days).

As for staying up tonight, here is my reasoning: I have not been ablie to fall asleep before midnight for nearly 20 years. It also takes me at least 2 hours to get up, breakfasted and dressed in the morning (and that's if I rush). So when Audrey says "I'll be by to pick you up at 7:30 in the morning..." that causes further flailage.

Going to bed hardly seems worth it. But if I take clusters of naps, this afternoon, I figure I can stay up at night, when the NaNoWriMo ideas come on the strongest, anyway, and be ready to go when she gets here. Also, she'll be doing all the driving, and I sleep like a baby when I get in the car, anyway... (She had us up and on the road at 2 in the morning, most days, when she was driving us out to Gallifrey, a couple of years ago (in bwd by 8pm... I think we're both semi-nocturnal, just at different ends of the nightly spectrum).

Sad.. I wish I was going to be down in that area so I could meet you. My family lives down in that area (White plains, NY, I am hoping you meant). Have a safe trip. I'm sorry for the reason. :/

[capriuni.livejournal.com]

Yes. That's the White Plains I meant... maybe we will meet, and I hope it will be under happier circumstances.

best wishes dear! HUGE hugs!

(and yeah, i am ashamed of my home state. sigh.)

After seeing how the elections turned out for the rest of America, now I really feel like this area (Hampton Roads--Northern VA doesn't count ;-)) is foreign territory.

Jim Webb might win his Senate seat (but points to the comment about NoVa), but for the local congressional seats, the Republican incumbants all stayed in (though granted, by smaller margins than they were expecting).

[leenah.livejournal.com]

well yeah, i think most virginians would agree with you that NoVA is a separate state - even people from NoVA.

Well, Washington remained in the Union, and everything south of Newport News (iirc) went to the Confederacy... right?

Frankly, I think, in many ways, the Confederacy "rejoined" the Union in name only, and really, it is more like the separate country that Davis wanted than our history books admit.

Have a safe trip, and *hugs*.

[capriuni.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Chat with you in a week, I guess.

[lizziebelle.livejournal.com]

Oh, right! I didn't even think of that. I would have, eventually. *g*

Tell your father I said hello. :)

Will do...
