I must be sick. I'm in my apartment, which, this time of year, is typically a balmy 80-90ºF [overactive radiators], and I'm freezing.  Shivering, bundled up, sneezing every five minutes.

I'm djing in St Louis tomorrow night.

Before I leave in seven hours, I need to:
-pack my clothes, etc [omfg what am I wearing!?  I'll be onstage, so this is more important than usual.]
-pack my dj equipment [forgetting anything at all would be disasterous
-make sure I bring all the music I might want to spin
-design flyers for one of my nights here
-upload them to the printer before I leave
-dye my hair
-clean up this apartment enough so that Kamar can find my dog to take her out tomorrow night
-brush up on how to get to the train station
-print out all necessary documents, etc
-pack my homework so I can do it on the train
-recharge my phone

I think that's it.  Despite the fact that I'll only be there for 36 hours, the only real difference is that I'm packing less clothes.  I'm taking Amtrak; I keep wondering if I should bring extra, in case the train is a delayed a day or two.  Suddenly that doesn't seem like such a good idea.

Earlier this evening, I made a flurry of phone calls/IMs:
-who's taking the dog out
-who's got a mixer for me to borrow in StL
-who can take these things to the post office tomorrow
-who can call and confirm the aforementioned flyer order so that it gets done while I'm gone
-who's going to the party tonight that I couldn't attend--I need a full report
-who's picking me up at the train station
-what do I need to bring to set up at the club
-what am I doing when I get back
-where are we going for lunch when I get there
-is anyone in my family coming
-how do I get in touch with my neice while I'm there
-where am I staying
-who do I need to contact when I arrive
-collecting various contact numbers and information
-discussing the possibility of future shows there
-confirming that on Sunday it is, in fact, my baby brother's 20th birthday, and denial on my part isn't going to change it--I'm old
-finding someone to take notes for me in the class I'm missing tomorrow

After all that, I needed a nap--I'm sick, after all, and I need to get better before tomorrow.  Except, I kept getting up and doing shit I had forgotton--go to bed, get up and call my mother, go to bed, get up and make a birthday present for my brother, go to bed, get up and check to make sure I cited that book right on my lab report, go to bed, get up and refill the humidifier, go to bed, get up and put Vicks in the humidifier....

Well, at least my done/to do list is finished. ;)
