Saturday (morning, far too early): Drove down to Manchester for child impact seminar. Drove back, passing Old Orchard Beach.

Saturday (evening, late): maweisse and husband are visiting OOB. They drive up to Portland for drinks. Fun evening, although given that I should be writing my conference paper and doing job applications, this means Social Life is kicking Common Sense's arse again.

Sunday: Skived off on evening service in favor of driving down to Boston for Tea chez sigerson. I made them a Man-Portable Fusion Pie. Saw many people, notably Sovay, whom I have not seen in far too long. Put up for the night by the ever-awesome T. Edwards.

Wednesday (hopefully) or tomorrow (if not: eep!) Drive all the way to #$%& Kalamazoo. Hopefully I can find someone to carpool with in the next 24 hours...while also dealing with oDesk jobs, AND throwing a 12-page conference paper together!

Addendum: Riiiggght, I really DO need to find someone to carpool with. I am not actually capable of driving for sixteen straight hours. (Heck, I'm not sure I'm capable of driving for six.)
