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

Right now I am sitting in my chair in my pjs working myself up to getting dressed to go out. I am listening to public radio on the radio in my room. The dog is outside barking to be let in. The radio in the other room just popped on to another public radio station (classical). It does that at 11am and we don't know why and we don't know how to get it to stop.

I am not feeling well. I have cramps and am waiting for the painkiller to kick in. I am slightly nauseous as well and for some reason my right hip hurts. That should be taken care of by the painkiller as well. I am anxious about what I have to do the rest of today and the rest of the coming weekend.

I started this journal early today because I will be out late-ish tonight with this activity and I know I won't feel like doing it tonight. Then I have to get up ridiculously early tomorrow (for me anyway - I do not get up early normally) to continue this weekend's anxiety producing activity. I will discuss the activity in a future journal, and readers will wonder why I was/am so anxious about it. I'll try to convey the reasons for my anxiety, but I also know I'm oversensitive.

So I'm here at set up for the Cactus Club Show and Sale. Now that I'm here there is less to be anxious about. There isn't much for me to do right now, really. But I'm the Board Member on Duty (BMoD) while the other board members who arrived very early, go get lunch. The tables are set up. The vendors don't need help, for the most part. Though it behooves one to ooh and aah over their plants. I did ask before the other board members left if there was anytging I needed to be doing and was told "no". So if nothing goes horribly wrong, I'm in for an afternoon of Angry Birds and checking Facebook/h2g2.

Here's hoping for the Nothing Goes Wrong Scenario, although if something had occurred, you could have written about it?

Was this a Cactus growing competition as well? Those sorts of shows are hotbeds of one upmanship and rivalry.

There is a show, but not a juried show this time. There was a small crisis when a vendor arrived and was unhappy with her table location. I let her switch with someone else who will probably be unhappy now. I don't think there are any club members on h2g2.

In what way was she unhappy about the location of a table? Bad feng shui, or not close enough to the bar?

That's what we need! A bar! Drinking and cactus go together like nothing else. We do provide beverages. I'm tempted to spike mine.

Drinks at a cactus show should be spiked, and it would be easy enough to achieve.

I'm gonna use that tomorrow!

Glad to be of service!
