Half a post about Arisia weekend with [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom

Awesome weekend at Arisia and other places with [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom. Much seeing of old friends I don’t get to see very often. Car mishegas — my car is currently in the shop having the muffler reattached. Loved [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom and [livejournal.com profile] joyeous’ performance in this year’s Red Shift.

Completely aside from all the fun things going on in the vicinity, I find just being in a hotel relaxing and refreshing. [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom and I are thinking of doing occasional little mini-vacations close to home, where we don’t really go anywhere special, but find a hotel in the general Eastern Massachusetts area and have a night or two in a room that somebody else cleans, with a really soft bed and a big bathtub and no piles of stuff that needs to get done nearby.

I've suggested the nearby-hotel vacation to Norman, who think it a very strange idea. Aha! Vindication!

Glad you had a good time, and I hope your car will be fixed soon.

Yes, I would love to do some little mini-vacations with you. There are lots of places to relax without going very far at all. :-)
