It’s time to fuss with the
costumes. His needs to go to the
cleaners, and mine needs a jewelry change….perhaps a wig too. The bonnet didn’t make it in my case, and he
hated the Trump wig tho he was very funny in it. It’s that time of year again when we rethink
our costumes for the Comic Con weekend.
Our Spring calendars are
filling up fast. Coming up really soon
is the “Spring Round Up.” We’ve been on
various Round Up committee’s for years.
This year we are both on the Marathon Meeting committee. Yes, I am not really useful. Yes too, there are AA and Alanon meetings
from the first day 24 hours a day until the last day at seven in the morning. Four full days. G has supposedly filled them. Now we see if these folks actually show up. If not, we have a nice guy named Doc who is
willing to find folks to run the meetings at any hour.
To ease the strain of all
this, we have taken a hotel room at the Convention site. The hotel has been sold, and it’s been
modernized. I’m not fond of the stark
rooms. I’m really not fond of the fact
the main restaurant is closed for remodeling.
It’s going to be a very long walk to the hamburger joint on the other
side especially if we are short on time.
Not so for Comic Con
2018. We volunteer. That helps a lot. We take the car from home out to the Stadium
in the Valley, then we take the trolley back into downtown. Very easy parking, and a chance to buy out
trolley tickets right there. I only have
to walk across the tracks to the convention center and the guy with the
mobility scooters.
We both look forward to
this. It’s a good combination of
childish fun and usefulness. We can give
back and eat our ice cream too. We will keep you posted if we get caught
dancing in the streets.

- Himself: He’s mostly taken the weekend off. He worked at a very busy museum yesterday, then hauled me off to the new “Tomb Raiders.” He flat out loved it. Costco run today. Games in the chill afternoon.
- Herself: Not paying attention to Portion Control this weekend. Movies, M&M’s, animal crackers, and other good stuff. Movie too violent for me. Found everything I had lost: Leg brace, costume, black vest.
- Reading: About a small Irish village Doctor.
- Gratitude’s: That letting go of everything I had mislaid let the stuff reappear.
Looks as if it will be a good time.
ReplyDeleteI love your spirit, Mage!
ReplyDeleteFour full days -- you'll be exhausted at the end of it but will have the biggest smile. I thought the Trump wig a hoot -- can't wait to see what G comes up with for his new costume. You too! Good to get a room at the convention site -- it's so nice to be able to go to your room and freshen up whenever you need a break.
ReplyDeleteThe new Tomb Raider movie was really good.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I think it would be such fun and a great opportunity to be a kid again.
ReplyDeleteHas it been a year all ready?? Wow. Love that wig and your outfit and know you are looking forward to Comic Con.
ReplyDeleteLetting go is the healthiest and hardest to do. I love that joy in your photo. That is what we all really want, is it not? Just pure unqualified joy. Spent the weekend with the son and we are now in a good place...for now. Still holding my breath as I will until the day I die.
