It's off to Ohio I go

[valis2]

Gone for the weekend. I'm doing a show in Ohio on Saturday and Sunday, and then stopping to see lady_branwyn & her posse for an evening, and then back home.

I'm staying in a hotel tonight. Now, a couple of years ago, I would have said, "Four hours? I'll just drive down the day the show starts, and save myself a night in a hotel." But I find that I'm not so eager to do that anymore. The sleepiness during one of those early morning drives is absolutely the worst kind--even slapping myself on the face doesn't seem to work.

The bad side of this, though, is that all of my regular cheapo hotels were booked! I had to take something for $130 a night instead of $90. And for two nights, that really adds up. grah. (Thank goodness I didn't just wing it--I would have ended up staying miles away!)

But I just can't do the get-up-at-three-leave-at-four-get-there-at-eight thing now. Husband is extremely against that too, as he's actually tried to talk to me and keep me awake during a couple of those. Scary stuff.

See you late Monday night, flist!

Oh, do I hear you. Fifteen years ago I thought little of catching an 8 p.m. show at Stratford (three hours away) and then driving back the same night. No way could I do that now.

heh. I make the six to seven hour drive to WI each month with no worries, but that's usually during the day or the evening, both of which I can handle. However, getting up early in the morning and doing it? Turns me into a road!zombie. I don't think I can do it any longer. Hence, the hotel room.

Two hours, I might have tried. But four is right out. *nodnod*

Wishing you good weather, safe journeying, and mucho sales! *hugs*

Aw, you're the sweetest! Thank you so much! *giant hugs*
