What a day
On the phone at 8am for a conference call with the Indians, then got assigned a hot project (completely unrelated to India) which needed to be completed before I left town. Nine hours later I handed the nearly-finished document to my boss so that he could finish futzing with the last Visio drawing which wouldn't copy correctly into the document. He didn't mind; he was thrilled that I had surpassed his expectations of what could be turned around in a day.
Logged off work, raced upstairs and jumped in the shower. Forty-five minutes later, Hubbyfink dropped me off at Dulles. Huh. The security area has been moved downstairs; I wonder when that happened. Was very thankful to travel on Tuesday and not the Wednesday before T-day because the line was LOOOOONG but people were fairly cheerful. Both flights left on time and both flights arrived early. I didn't have to share my seat on either flight and, thus, had the window seat the whole time. Saw many amazing things in the air tonight which related mostly to FedEx planes. The coolest was landing simultaneously with a FedEx plane in Memphis. I figured with my 11:30pm CT arrival, we'd be mingling in the air during the peak of the sort.
Mom, Pete, and the shelties retrieved me from the airport. The cats greeted me when I got home. In fact, Romulus set up housekeeping in my suitcase (he's currently warming the bed for me). Tomorrow Today zipmeister will drag me out shopping for console games we can give to each other as belated birthday gifts (although, his birthday was the 24th so I'm only barely belated). Johnny should be home late tonight. I'll see Mimi, Chris and Bear on Thursday. No clue when I'll see beaznuts and Melinda. Still no baby.
Okay. It's officially very, very late now. Time to fall down, go boom.
