I suppose cute little garden-party gloves aren't an option at this late hour? They saved mom's dignity when she had a huge purple bruise on her hand and had to go to something like that.

Get your rest, and enjoy the trip, even if it is kind of a bitchsmack. I feel you on that one; one lousy three-day weekend two hours from here, and I'm snowed under and the unpacking piles and laundry are gonna EAT me.
