Been riding the pre-Burningman Rollercoaster of unpreparedness, exhuastion, panic, and excitement. Every year no matter how far in advance I plan, I am always panicked at the last minute, making sure I have all my costumes and camping equipment. This year, in the spirit of trying to go completely unplanned, it's been even more stressful. The playa gods are testing our will power and our commitment to burning the man. The siren of the playa is too strong, nothing will stand in our way... but here's at least 10 things that try:
1. Received a last minute call that the puppies did not have babysitters for the weekend - Anuja saved me last minute by accepting to stay at my place for the weekend.
2. AG's ticket did not make it to us in time (still have no idea where the guy sent it - and still have no ticket - we leave tonight - shrug).
3. Haven't found AG's hydration pack, mine was found last night after midnight.
4. Not sure if the contraption for the scooter will work - but feel reasonable it might - we'll put it together on the playa.
5. Fridge stopped working last night - needed to call for service - coming on Saturday, thank god Anuja will be there.
6. Have had 3 hours of sleep last two nights b/c of puppies and packing - running on caffeine and sheer will to make it to the playa.
7. AG had to repaint his loft yesterday again, after we stayed late on Sunday to complete.
8. AG compiling separation papers with ex... mediation appointment today.
9. Work is piled high, hoping to complete as much as possible before this evening (with even less than 2% of brain capacity remaining)- pick up car at airport, head home, pack last minute toiletries... oh god, don't forget the ambian - pack food, clean out fridge, clean house, leave instructions for Anuja.....don't forget to drop puppies off at Rachel's.
10. I know I will forget something big - just waiting for the realization when we're in Reno...
