Oh, for exciting!
Thanks to everyone who chipped in to the Frogdonut Alliance Indiegogo campaign, we raised enough funds for me to drive over 1900 miles, going from
90 F to 40 F in three days. So, I’ll undoubtedly be blogging with a sniffle
next time, but I’ll be OUT of the horrendous Tucson oven and in beautiful,
cloudy Cheeseland! Presumably Richard Cheese hails from there, or is at least a
big tourism promoter.
No comment is necessary.
My brain has been crazed for a few weeks, organizing every
possible detail of the trip and forgetting to sleep, but they tell me the
swelling in the left temporal lobe definitely looks a little less puffy today,
so here I am. Most of my belongings are packed, the car is repaired and
spiffyclean, motel reservations are confirmed, and today I learned that the
very Santa-paradey store where I work is approving my job transfer, so I’ll
have cash coming in almost immediately. w00t!

| Yes, dear, there IS a job opening! But try to take mine and I WILL cut a bitch. |
I’ll be driving through territory unfamiliar to me. I
promise to stay off the goddamned moors, and not to feed the inmates. Sadly, I
won’t have time to stop for giant fiberglass chicken statues or the Hair Museum, but I promise to take pics along the way. Maybe I’ll document how many
items of clothing I’m forced to don as the trip progresses and the ambient
temperature drops. Departure date is a week from today!
For anyone reading my steampunk serial novel, I WILL resume
storytelling as soon as I’m settled in with my gorgeous, brilliant, lusty
fiance...well, as soon as I have time! For anyone who just wants steampunk
cereal, a word of advice: don’t add those cute little gear-and-sprocket beads
to your Lucky Charms. Not even encased in marshmallows. Too crunchy.
See you on the other side, Ray!
