h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, strictly speaking dinner first, as we get in tomorrow, with only enough time to throw our bags into our room, after checking in, before its time for dinner.... boarding pass (s) printed bag almost* packed.... maybe I will need a corset.... although looking at the agenda for the conference/symposium I doubt we'll get to see much of Berlin, and I doubt W would let me head off on my own towards the gay nightclubs for all night ness... though I expect we'll wonder out at some point to some nearby bars/cafes (and somewhere to get sausages, and/or kebab.... ) - diet might be having a holiday too, for a couple of days - don't think I mention I've lost at least another 2 Lb now think I'm up to 17 Lb total weight loss, in a bit under two months so far - the new (charity shop rescue), dress I bought a couple days back was a size 22, not 24, and fits.... shrinking in all th eright places so far and either my bottom is growing or changing shape, or it just seems like it has due to shrinking legs and other bits of me - I've always wanted to have my own bottom, and never have had, until now, sitting is a lot more comfortable if you have a bottom... I've decided
remaining is to finish packing, mainly packing the meds etc, and ensuring all the liquids are in the liquid bag thinggy for security etc... W has the travel documents, passports, Euros, and train tickets and tube tickets, for tomorrow (we walked to the rail station earlier to buy them and double check times etc) Looks like we'll be flying on a big plain... a bit differnt to the 16 seat private jet I flew on last time, with one other passenger... - that was when I spent the entire flight in the cockpit, chatting to the pilot and copilot, and sharing experiences of chemotherapy with the copilot who'd had cancer himself recently - oh, and stealing the pilots mints back Wednesday lateish... - if we get into London late as I think, by the time we get the tube, we'll probably just find a pub near there somewhere and wiat for the rush hour to pass so we can travel a bit more comfortably on the train... probably pop into the Eustion flyer I think its called... if its still there... probably oughta pack a belt in the bag... and a charging cable for the phone, and my headphones, and some leggings and tights.... and perhaps just th eone corset.... black leather, or purple satin... choices... choices...

Happy landings!

have a safe flight.

That reminds me--I really should put more of my trip planning stuff in my journal on here

Have a good trip, m'dear!

I'll try - think we've just about packed all we need now.... time for my epic bath soon, then I can pack my razor and toothbrush, and we're all done.... W h has all the travel documents and passports, print out of bording passes, train tickets, train railcard, tube tickets, etc.... - I've got all the Euro notes and the single carry-on cabin bag, between the two of us, is actually half full of medication - well, the liquids bag is mainly full of liquid meds, like eyedrops, then I've my emergency injection kit, in its case, with intermuscular needles, and little vials of the emergency hydrocortisone and stuff in it... then there is a large 'wash bag', just full of tablets (which take p one hell of a lot of room, when you have to carry them in their origional boxes/packing... - I nromally just keep all my drugs lose, as I can recognise the strip shape/size, etc, to know which tablet is which) extra packet of emergency hydrocortisone tablets, and a box of prednisolone, containing four strips (so four boxes worth), of actual tablets... plus melatonin, poroton pump inhibitors, some tablets in little pill boxes (vitamines and stuff), and a couple of W's medications and... I'm sure there was more awkward packing clothes, as It looks like being colder in Berlin than it is here; today it was sweltering out and I can't tollerate heat at all, so I'll probably end up travelling in something that I'll then find freezing cold soon as we arrive cold is fine though, heat I just feel ill very quickly now guess I oughta take a jacket with me, so I think the leather jacekt is a safe bet damnit... still not got round to polish up my brown boots guess I could wear the black ones.... but I'm planning on taking my brown handbag, and that would match a lot better with the chocolate brown velvet dress I have packed and the brown does sort of go with the red flowery skirt I have and the tops I've packed black leggings though ... maybe I should pack some red tights too

Hmm... maybe I could wear the red stockings/tights for travelling, less warm than the leggings, that might make sense...

I'm OK with flying, but I do find it often very painful; I think its the remnant of the hemoridge from way back in 1993, which left a ... (I'll never spell this right); muculsoid muculsoid ... err mucusloid ... thing somewhere on the right side of my brain/head.... which means it doesn't handle changes in air pressure well I think... not sure if its dangerous or not, but its about the most painful sensation I've ever had, during takeoff and landing, on taht side of my head, and it then takes me ages and ages for the air pressure in my inner ears to equalise, mainly on the right side.... - this sort of liquid full 'bit' in my head, is a kind of thing where the hemordige, had continued to leak, since my accident in 1993, and apprently its it, which has caused the pituitary dammage, . . hmm. actually that would make the sudden appearance of the pitutiary damamge in 2015, end of 2014, tie up almost exactly with the flights to sweden and back, end of 2014.... hmmm... - well Dr never said I couldy fly... hmm. hang on. I just realised soemthing... - The Drs must be wrong... my origional hemoridge was on the left side of my head, not the right, so why is the mucusoloid thinggy on the right side.... hmm. well, the Dr can't do his four times table, up to and including numbers like '5', so I guess their not knowing their left from right, is only to be expected

Right, must be time for an epic bath...... a Dragon's egg, bath bomb, and a caraguines couldren bath melt tonight I think, and maybe some rose bath foam/melt too... and must get a new razor blade out

I do hope bee, bear, Froggy, Unicorn, Penguine, Cow, the peripatetic otter all behave themselves whilst we're gone... - I did ask W, but he csaid I can't take Bee with me poor Bee....
