DOUBLE ARGH WITH SPRINKLES ON TOP. My paper is finally progressing reasonably well, but there are new complications. I BLAME YOU, hideous East-coast weather systems! I also blame myself, for buying a non-refundable bus ticket with a non-exchangeable pickup option. And I blame my general state of penury, which led me to choose the cheapest non-refundable bus ticket option - a state of penury that can ill support having to buy a second, more expensive ticket if I can't go tomorrow, not to mention a state of penury that can't afford a hotel in Montreal or a stay anywhere else I might get stranded.
To explain further, the RAIN FOREVER that's supposed to be hitting Boston even now, and that will persist overnight and into tomorrow afternoon, is going to be 40-50 cm of snow at my aunt and uncle's in Quebec, and shades of everything from rain through freezing rain into blizzard tomorrow between here and there.
ARGH.
There are actually a number of levels on which it would be advantageous to leave on Tuesday rather than tomorrow, including but not limited to time to get ready to leave after I finish my paper, but many disadvantages too, like less time to visit with Morgayne, and $$$.
And here I was looking forward to a nice, relaxing trip. Sigh. Now I'm all stressed.
and me one traveller,
first world problems,
ungeweder,
i blame you
