December 22, 2023: Montreal-bound!

I never sleep well the night before I fly and last night was no exception.  It was a night of tossing and turning and weird dreams.  One particularly disturbing one I remember involves me walking onto the set of a new Dark Matter episode.  But because the production didn’t have any money, it was being done on the cheap.  The Raza set was half-finished, just a lot of exposed, unpainted wood.  And the script was only 26 minutes long.  Furthermore, I hadn’t written it!  I remember panicking, grabbing a copy of the script and presuming I could do a pass on whatever had been written only to read it and realize it was beyond saving.  What a nightmare.

So I woke up at 6:30 a.m. this morning, not feeling particularly rested, took Sharky for a walk (He finally pooped almost 48 hours since his last one and only an hour before leaving for the airport!).  The flight was quite smooth all things considered.  Bit of a late departure and arrival, I forgot (and had to retrieve) some presents I left behind, but Sharky slept peacefully through the flight at our feet in his little sherpa carrier.

Ready to go!

Well, I am positively exhausted.  Going to sleep early tonight.  Can’t wait to find out how that Dark Matter episode turned out.
