The Man burns in 9 days!!

At Burning Man, that is.

Yep, we're going! My c-section has healed in the nick of time (seriously, it more or less looked closed just this morning so by Saturday when we leave, it should be fine), and Tesla is healthy and well (she even seems totally fine after those horrid shots.). Dav has been working hard until yesterday, and I've only been able to minor preparations thus far. So compared to previous years where we'd be sewing costumes months in advance, this year is quite different.

Dav has worked on the RV to ensure it's in working order, and we test drove it overnight to Santa Rosa, so we're pretty comfortable about the RV's ability to keep Tesla protected.

Ever since the Santa Rosa trip last weekend, however, I've been super exhausted. The small trip out of our ordinary routine somehow took all my energy. Now my leg and arm muscles are tired from hauling Tesla in and out of our 2 door jeep all the time...and I keep pushing myself to get errands done, shop for food, etc. Preparing for BM is a feat in itself, and in the past, I could always keep the thought of once getting to the playa, it's RELAX time. However, this time when I get to the playa, I'll be in an even more vigilant mode of Tesla-caring, so I'm a bit worried about my strength. I will take it easy and not even go out of the RV for a few days if necessary...

I plan to keep a diary of sorts to document how it is taking a 2 month old baby to the playa. I couldn't find any firsthand experience on the internet which would have been quite helpful. Hopefully our experience will inspire others to bring very young babies in the future.
