Tomorrow night, I leave for Orlando for a Technology Conference for work. I'm really excited, and a little scared. Most of it is clothing related as the weather is so different each minute in Orlando. I do this all the time before I go somewhere, and all the times it works out fine. It's not like I'm going to a deserted island.

Anyway - 3 days at the conference and 2 1/2 days at Walt Disney World. Should be a great week.

I was there a year ago this week. Weather was cooler than usual. Easier to take off clothes than put on something you don't have with you.

Monday afternoon greetings! My first stop this morning was the FedEx office in the convention center to send about 12 pounds of books and papers home. I then spent a little more time in the exhibits and got to visit with another Dayton colleague and an ALA presidential candidate I actually know. Since I'd only had coffee and a granola bar in my room for breakfast, I went to the hotel coffee shop for a nice brunch about 11 and I've been relaxing in my room. Pretty soon I'll make my way back to the convention center for the closing speaker, Chelsea Clinton.

Oy! I think I just poisoned myself with a bedbug spray.

DR Matthew, one of the exhibitors I talked to this morning was from the Orlando tourism office, because our annual conference is there at the end of June. That's ALA for you - Boston in the winter and Orlando in the summer...

And from another vendor I purchased Frommer's EasyGuide to Disney World, Universal, and Orlando 2016 for $1.00. Good deal - it's listed at $14.95.

Have a great time!

Oy!

I took some garbage to the basement and there was this lovely abandoned wooden table/cabinet on wheels that I liked and could use, so I brought it upstairs. I got a bit paranoid about bringing it into the apartment, so I decided to spray it to death with a bedbug pesticide. I guess the hallway wasn't as well ventilated as I had hoped. I am feeling nauseous, but if I get sick at City Center, I'll come home.

Slept for another hour or so, then Muse Margaret called - turns out she'd been out all day, then had to make dinner, then watched the Golden Globes - she read half last night but didn't want to call until she'd read it all. One of the very few times where she had not one note or anything. She said she laughed from start to finish and she's finding it oddly touching at some places - I'm not striving for that but I'm glad it's somehow there. So, a good call.

When the weather can quickly change from hot to cold having the right clothes is important. The only time we were at Disney World the most crowded place there was the Disney store as people shopped for the warmest clothes they could find. The heat wave temp had suddenly dropped to 25 degrees.

Oh no! Do you have bedbugs again or is that a precaution?

You just answered my question. At least the spray isn't in your bed.

Vibes you feel better once you are out in the fresh air!!

HA! And I am back!

New updated driver.....AMD said the driver was a "legacy" and they had no updates for it, but the computer technician got one from Microsoft - he said the company always has a library of drivers.....

He also said I had a couple of Malwares.....and they are gone! AND they did not have to wipe my hard drive so all of my programs and files are intact.

Happy Day!

Oops, forgot to log out when I went over to the convention center to see Chelsea Clinton. Her presentation was delightful, but I didn't hang around to get a free copy of her book and have it autographed.

I'm on the phone, once again, dealing with the furniture store that still has not picked up the desk chair they said I could return. Thanks goodness I have an email confirming they will do this vs an exchange. It has now been 5 months and 8 days since my first conversation.

They sound as forgetful as I feel lately.

Forgetful is not the word I would use.

Jane · « **Reply #58 on:** January 11, 2016, 02:08:56 PM »

The woman I spoke to is heading over to the billing department to get our refund going and a date to pick up the chair. She will email me in about 20 minutes with the confirmations.

Fingers crossed I actually hear back from her and this is finally going to happen!
