AFK

In a couple more hours I leave for Rotorua, yay!  

It's Mothers Day on Sunday, so I'm going to see my mum.  Now that I live in Auckland, it feels like I hardly every get to see her, because the 3 hour drive (one way) is just long enough that it requires planning and prep time, and thus she rarely bothers to make the trip.  But I love going there, whenever I can spare the time.  Living in Rotovegas sucks; visiting it is awesome.  It's a lovely town, even if it is a tourist trap.

HOWEVER!  In order to make the trip this time, I had to go and buy some winter clothes.  Mountainous Rotorua is MUCH colder than sea-level Auckland, and while Mum is getting a heat pump installed, that won't happen until NEXT week... and she's already gotten rid of her fireplace!  :(

So yeah, I'll be out of town for a bit, and I'm leaving the laptop at home.  Have fun, y'all, and I'll catch up with ya on Wednesday.
