Don't be a Drag, Just be a Queen June 3-18 (MORE PICS ADDED 6/25!)

Finished the Z-pack today. The swelling across the lid has gone down enough that I think I can identify 3 separate lumps. 1 has been there for a couple of years. The others are new, and the one that is causing all the problems is up higher in my lid, more near the crease. As evidenced by the one that has been there for YEARS, the lumps never go away. So aggravating. If I can get started on meds before the lump forms I can usually prevent it from forming. Now I am doomed to look like I have been shoving frozen peas up my eyelid for the rest of time.

I can't believe I missed your PTR, Elizabeth! I've got to go back and read now and find out your plans. Have a great trip! I'll be following along as usual.

I feel your pain about everyone arriving and you're not there, 15, yes 15 of our family members are either still there or just got back today, and yes we are quite green with envy, we stil have to wait until November.

I hope you have a wonderful trip, I'll be waiting for updates with pictures.

Hi, Cathy! Glad to have you along!

3 hours until I can call for flight upgrades. I hope I can stay awake for 3 more hours.

Hoping you get a useful agent on the phone and the business class seats are available!

Debbie, I missed this earlier! I would be climbing the walls if everybody went to WDW without me. I hope your November trip is extra magical!

Well, the first agent was not so helpful. So, in true Disney fashion, I called back and talked to a different agent! All 3 of us are upgraded. I won't try that again. I will just hold off until the 24 hour mark and upgrade all of us or keep our coach seats. The woman who told me several months ago that the agent could choose to allow all 3 upgrades in one transaction at midnight was mistaken. I didn't misunderstand her, because I wouldn't have known to call at midnight. She specifically said I could do upgrades on points AND upgrades on cash at midnight if we were all on one reservation.

25 hours until departure!

1 day until departure
1 working day (I might be off an hour early)
1 school day (I think DS wants to be picked up at 11 AM - he only has one exam)

Wow. The sleep deprivation will be ugly today! I could NOT sleep after I did the airline upgrades. I think I maybe managed 4 hours. And tonight will be about the same!

 

[Villainess]

Glad to hear you got the upgrades. Good luck to your DS on his exam!

Algebra is his exam today. Saved the worst for last.

You know, a sparkly skull and crossbones or something?

I'm ready to get off work and go pack my backpack!

I printed our boarding passes.

I picked DS up from school, even though he told me he would ride the bus home today. He realized there were very few people just milling around so he wanted to be picked up after his exam. Paid the rent while I was dropping him off at home.

Deposited my paycheck.

Paid some bills online.

Took my baby charge's carseat out of my car. Oh! Need to take her stroller out, too!

Then I will just be waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

Yay! I was able to bump our Cali Grill dinner to a later time slot than 5:30 PM! We never eat at 5:30 at home, and with the time difference it would feel like 4:30. I know we are getting old, but I am not ready to be "dinner at 4:30" old.

I bit the bullet and pre-ordered the silly PhotoPass CD. Figured it was better to go ahead and do it before I forgot.

Have a wonderful time and we MUST do lunch when you get back so we can hear all the details about your trip!

Thanks, honey! DEFINITELY lunch when we get home!!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I am almost finished packing my backpack.

I had a little bit of a moment because I thought I lost $100. Then I remembered my "cash needed" estimate included the money for tip envelopes. Which is IN the tip envelopes. Oops.

 

[mommykds]

Hope you have a blast Elizabeth!!!!

Thanks!!

It's unfortunate that I don't feel like going to bed! We're leaving the house in 6 hours. Several hours of sleep would be beneficial.

Have a magical trip, Elizabeth!!
