One of those nights when I fell asleep early and hard, and then woke up way way too early for the rest of the world ( Read more... )

I learned as I was about to fall asleep that one of my brothers is ill and so my local nephew needs a ride to the family gathering. This will add at least 20 minutes to my drive each way, but at least I'll have interesting company in the car -- though he might sleep the entire time LOL ( Read more... )

It had seemed the flight back would land early, but it didn't really, and it took over an hour to get my checked bag, and then Dulles is just so fucking big it takes forever to get from wherever to wherever ( Read more... )

I'd predicted I'd be up at 4am, and I am, despite staying up late. I'll try napping again in a bit because I cannot order a room service breakfast until 6am. Door Dash has some breakfast available, but I can wait until 6am.

My room would cost $639.52/night (including tax) if I weren't here as a guest LOL. Much nicer room than last year ( Read more... )

And right before I hop in the car to drive to the airport, the condo manager called to tell me of a potential water leak in the condo. Sigh. I can't do anything about it other than authorize the manager to investigate, and then of course I'll pay for any needed repairs, with some reimbursement from K ( Read more... )

I'll be driving to the airport in about four hours. At this point I feel it unlikely I'll go running before I leave. Traveling, even on business, even for just two nights, requires too many details, including work-related details. As I've said before, my job doesn't take a break just because I'm not there ( Read more... )

The trash/recycling were already on the curb when I woke soon after 7am -- I've been sleeping later because the sun is rising later ( Read more... )

After T came up from working out in the basement I told him how traveling to see him at the island on their "family day" was gonna squish me because of the in-person training I was attending the following week, and he looked so crestfallen. He was really looking forward to my visiting. Well, I had no idea it would mean so much to him. I thought ( Read more... )

At Philadelphia now, so far my train is under 10 minutes late.  I'll have to Metro from Union Station to Silver Spring to get my car and then drive to the house.  I'll want to run in the morning, so I'll probably avoid intoxicants and go to bed.  Not sure what I'm doing after I go running ...

I haven't adjusted to Pacific Standard Time at all!  As I expected, I woke at 2am, and I was not falling back asleep even as I tried ( Read more... )
