So I left Rochester earlier than I'd intended to with the idea of visiting
kass and Yao and young Zaphod - and arrived nine hours later, having missed the Thruway exit and had to turn around at the end of 390, and then made a wrong choice around Albany and had to turn around at the New Paltz/Poughkeepsie exit, and then discovered that despite her front-wheel drive my little car cannot handle the driveway here, which was no problem really except that in reversing back down to the road I got both left wheels stuck in the ditch and had to leave her there overnight and be dug out today before lunch.
Yesterday was not a good day for me, in short.
But I did eventually arrive chez
kass, and I did get my auntie on after baby-feeding time before I went to bed, and I slept very well, and I have been doing auntie-duties this morning as well, and soon I will go check in to the hotel, and it will be good times.
Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!
