I've made up a bed on the couch, with books, reading glasses, water bottles, for this evening's return.

Fed the cats, the husband. Looked longingly at food, but I'm fasting for the event. Drat. I won't be able to eat till dinnertime. This 24 hours without food is annoying.

I've showered, washed my hair, put on clean clothes.

Do you think I should paint my toenails for the occasion?
