silver_chipmunkGot up at 10:00 this morning and had breakfast. Before I had my coffee, mashfanficchick called and asked if I would like to join zer for lunch in Flushing as ze was going to take a train to zer father's from there. So of course I said yes.
Had my coffee and then showered and dressed. Figured I'd leave at 2:00 to get there by 2:30, so I did some stuff. Took at look at the Montreal Worldcon 2027 page, they have hotels posted now and they are expensive. So I emailed the only person I know who I thought was probably going, Matsir, and asked if she and her husband were going, and could they offer any help/advice to a newbie. I also posted on ship-of-fools asking if anyone was going and if so would they like to be room mates.
Pretty quickly I got a reply from Matsir in the affirmative, so I asked her if there was a list of people looking for room mates, or if she knew any cheaper hotels.
Then at 2:00 I headed in to Flushing. Got a bus almost immediately so I was early, so I checked out one of the malls, got a small item I'm going to give tomashfanficchick as part of zer birthday present, and finally ended up getting bubble tea.
Whenmashfanficchick arrived, we went to the rice noodle place we've been going to, where I got my usual, the crossbridge mushroom noodle soup. Yum!
After lunch we went to J Mart and ze got some stuff and I tagged along. Then we went our separate ways, I tried to go to Duane Reade to get Easter candy for Middle Brother's Easter basket. But weirdly, it was closed, like the time they had to evacuate the store cause there was a smell of smoke. So I just went home.
Lay down in the bedroom for awhile, then puttered on the computer til 7:00 when I Teamed the FWiB. We talked for somewhat over an hour, then got off.
Matsir replied with the information that about nine months before the con there would be a "need a roomie" page on the website, and also the name of a much cheaper hotel. Also, the offer of if all else failed, I could crash on their couch in their room. So that's all very reassuring.
I had a snack rather than a full dinner, and then went to the bedroom until pet feeding time, and here I am.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. It didn't rain while I was out.
3.mashfanficchick and lunch invitations.
4. Matsir.
5. Looks like I'll be able to actually go to Worldcon!
6. Looked up directions to the sleep doctor and it's pretty simple.
