the deep moans round with many voices

Current plan:

My mom drives up from NJ tomorrow and arrives around 6pm, as I get out of work. We eat dinner. Friday night and large parts of Saturday are spent going through my boxes of old files (mostly homework from 7th grade through college -- why the hell did I save this stuff in the first place?) and hopefully throwing the majority of the papers away. (Okay, not throwing away. Recycling. The basic sense of 'getting rid of them' remains valid. *grin*)

Next week, Susan drives up from NJ on Thursday, arriving around 10pm (as I get home from work). We spend Friday and Saturday doing touristy things, and I may drag her to church on Sunday morning. Or we may do brunch. Possibly even both! Anyway, I am thinking we'll visit the Corning Museum of Glass on Friday and do some extensive winery touring on Saturday. Possibly we can visit Seneca Falls as well, because the history of feminism is a Good Thing To Be Aware Of.

Or maybe we could drive to Watkins Glen and totally ignore the racetrack and hike around the park and waterfalls instead. I have seen some pictures in regional photography books, and they look very scenic. (If you ever see a 'waterfalls of the Finger Lakes' or 'scenery of the Finger Lakes' book, do flip through it. I live in a shockingly gorgeous area. And in Ithaca, the waterfalls are right in the middle of town, no lie!)

The next weekend is Grassroots Music Festival, which means I may end up working overtime so BW and PM can go listen to music, and ET can do something with AD, his girlfriend.

The weekend after that, I pack like a mad thing, and then on Monday I fly to Omaha, rent a car, and drive to Iowa, perhaps stopping by the assisted living center to see Grandma Doris briefly in the evening. Tuesday I visit with Grandma Doris all day long and take her out for lunch and dinner. Then I drive back to Omaha, turn in the car, and sack out in a motel room. Wednesday I catch an obscenely early flight back to Ithaca.

And somewhere in there, I finish and post my RemixRedux fic and hopefully get some other stuff written. *headdesk* I actually have my 'do this one, it'll be easy' remix outlined pretty firmly. I just need to sit down and put words on paper. (And find a proper title because the one that will not get out of my head is... well, it's perhaps the most literally accurate title I have ever thought of, but it's previously been used as a movie title and the movie's theme has nothing to do with my story's theme, and I would prefer not to confuse the issue. I dunno, though; it's awfully hard to think of a better title...)
