Back home again

We're back from Duckon -- I built a blinkie! It took forever to get home, though. A 10-mile stretch of I-65 was under "construction," by which I mean the road was narrowed to one lane, but I didn't see any actual work happening, so it took us about 40 minutes of stop-and-go traffic to go those 10 miles.

I wet my night diapers last night (that makes 3 out of the last 4 nights), and although I usually sleep on top of a protective pad just in case, there was a leak that got the sheet wet. The problem is that the pad I sleep on is a chair pad -- it's really too small for this. I should really get a bed pad. In fact, I've ordered one online. It will probably be here next week. Then I can use the chair pad when I sit in chairs and leave the bed pad in the bed, and the bed will be better protected. As will the chairs.

I wonder if some ABs don't wear diapers at all but instead use reusable or disposable bed pads and just relive their bedwetting experiences. I'd be surprised if there wasn't anybody who did that.

Hi from Duckon

I am currently posting from Duckon, a science fiction convention near Chicago. If you don't see me online, that's why. The hotel the convention is in has free wi-fi in the lobby (which is why I can post this) and free high-speed Internet for guests. But we're not staying at the same hotel. The one we are staying at has high-speed (wired) Internet in the rooms, but it costs $13 per day. Sigh.

My wife wants me not to wet my diapers at the convention, but says it's OK to wet them when we're back at our hotel. I reluctantly agreed to this -- I think it's a setback on my road to needing diapers all the time, and I did agree to drive her here as a big favor to her. But she got really upset about it -- mostly she talked about the odor issues, but I don't think that's really it. So when we're away from the hotel, I'm trying to go potty frequently so I don't wet myself without thinking. In the hotel room last night, I wet my diaper three times while I was asleep (and she said she didn't smell anything). But when I say I wet my diaper three times, I don't mean that I flooded it -- I don't wet very much at a time anymore.

Anyway, if you don't see me online this weekend, it's because I'm not going to be able to be online much. We're driving back Sunday afternoon and will be back Sunday evening.
