Okay, here’s what it comes down to. I was really hoping that we were going to connect with the granite guy today and that just didn’t happen. The granite guy and the cabinet guy work together all the time though apparently, and so I can only assume that as the cabinet guy gets close to finishing, he will link us all since we can’t very well have cabinets without granite. In other words, the process might be slowed, but maybe not, since I don’t know for sure how far along the cabinet guy is. It could be that us not being able to take this step until next week won’t actually impact the schedule. At the moment, that is what I choose to believe because I have spent the last couple of days trying to get ready for this trip to the American Quilter Society Show. As always seems to happen, several people needed things from me before I left. I think that I only have four more tasks to take care of.

Packing is a bit trickier this time because I have to take items for my presentations as well as clothes and the clothes must also be properly accessorized for the right look. The temperatures are still quite chilly and that means heavier clothes in addition to those pesky closed toe shoes that I simply no longer wear around here. I really have to plan on working out and that means appropriate attire for the fitness room. The suitcase won’t be over the weight allowance, but it will be fuller than usual. Ah well, it can’t be helped. I had also hoped to get a workout session in today since I had to skip yesterday, but if the timing works tomorrow, I should be able to squeeze in a session on a treadmill at the hotel. I’ll need to stretch a bit after traveling anyway. It’s early flight to BWI, drive to Lancaster, get to the show, check in with the AQS folks so they know I did make it, then get to the hotel. I’ll keep everyone posted.
