Day of domesticity

damontSo when we last left our intrepid Pennsic packer, he was hoping to get more packing done today. Not a chance.
Woke up this morning feeling a bit lightheaded for some reason. This developed into a pretty intense edginess... to the point where a couple of times I retreated into the bedroom just to be by myself. Part of this was needing more sleep, but I couldn't get back to sleep. (For whatever reason, I was fraying a lot more easily today than I usually do.) Eventually I gritted my teeth, got some food in me (though we didn't have what I wanted to eat) plus a quart of dilute Gatorade, some orange juice, a double coffee and a pint and a half of water. This eventually got me balanced out enough that I could get my "mental shields" back up some. (Bad Star Trek metaphor, I know.)
Eventually, the others went shopping:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
montuos, sister_devora, and pedropadrao went off to McKay's and Grand Mart (and the Evil Empire Emporium for some stuff not obtainable elsewhere). I stayed home and started in on the dishes. killernurd was also about doing cleaning. I got into a nice rhythm and got a little over half of the dirty dishes/pots/etc clean. At one point, I took killernurd over to drop a monitor off at a friend's house, then over to mllw_yllw_cello's to visit while she recuperates from her dental ordeal (and its various weird side- and after-effects).
Cooking dinner caused three of the just-cleaned pots to become dirty again, but ya know, that was part of the reason to clean 'em in the first place. I'll wash 'em again tomorrow, I hope, along with the remainder of the dirty pots and dishes. And some of the cutlery and flatware, though I may have to leave the worst of those for someone else to clean.
(Hm. Maybe a soak in water with some vinegar will help get the film off?)
But the only thing that got done towards Pennsic packing was a partial update of the packing-list spreadsheet. Must do better at that tomorrow (meaning, Monday after sunrise).
Got a chance to IM with some folks over the weekend and tonight. I'm greatly looking forward to SRWC next weekend... and even more to Pennsic.
