My Brain is awesome

cornerofmadnessI forgot for a week to ask my questions of the ghost hunt in Marietta tomorrow. At least the confirmation email answered one of them and I can ask the other before the hunt begins (i.e. are we going up stairs and is there a hand rail. if there is I can leave my cane behind.)
I feel relative ready for tomorrow. I packed the suitcase. I have three flashlights for this tour. I powered up my camera and my phone (and my ereader which is starting to burn batteries like today where it went from 30% charge to no charge in 20 minutes) I have a light backpack for the ghost hunt so my hands are free.
AAAAAAAAAAAAND because my brain is awesome I don't remember which hotel I made a reservation for. I think it's the microtel. But also there is no confirmation email or text. Um...that sucks. I'm going to have to log into my credit card or something but more likely I'm just calling the damn microtel tomorrow morning. Why is there no email?? Why can't I remember? Why I am so awesome?
If all goes well I'll head out to Blennerhassett Island on Saturday once I get up. I haven't bought tickets (at least I remember that much) because I wasn't sure how I'd feel after the ghost hunt all night nor what the weather will be. If it's sold out, c'est la vie. I would like to finally see it. I hate it's history but it's fascinating none the less. Blennerhassett if you don't know (and I didn't until recently) tried to overthrow the English king, fled from Ireland to here, married his niece, picked this island in West Virginia's river because it was technically Virginia then because he wanted to own/run slaves and then sided with Aaron Burr tried to set themselves up a king here. So he was a sweetheart....
Kent State uni thinks I'm an alumnus because they bought my medical school after I graduated. I had to look up where they even were in OH because all I knew about them was what everyone knows, the May 6th shooting back in the Viet Nam days. Well they invited me to a true crime talk by one of their actual alumni so I said yes and watched it on vimeo and barring the sound quality it was good.
When I went to watch the latest Doctor Who episode I saw I had NOT finished the Flux series from nearly a year ago. Mostly because it was so fucking boring and I really really REALLY dislike Jodi Whittaker. (not just in Who, I hated her in Broadchurch too) I don't say that often as I know a lot of my friends like her and that's fine. She's not for me. Anyhow I was bored with this episode too and suddenly it had my interest when it made the Doctor NOT from Gallifrey and totally fucked canon. So I thought well you don't know the 20th cen Docs maybe it was that way and you just don't know so I asked my friends who are uber fans and was brought up to date on how pissed off fans were by this. Sigh. Of course now that Disney + took over Who (and literally everything else) I won't have to worry any more because I wont' get to see the new Who which is upsetting. I wanted to see him. I'm utterly disappointed in this turn of events.
I just realized I copy and pasted this magazine's template into the email and FORGOT to change the title of the story in the header to MY title and now it's there in all the emails about it. I am SO embarrassed. My brain is AWESOME.
