So I just crossed over the Mississipi from Iowa into Illinois... can you stand the excitement? No?
I'll be in Chicago in a few hours and then hop a train to Philadelphia. Yes... the train. Yes, I know. Yes, I swore I'd never do it again. But as we all know... I love to do things the hard way.
The extra travel time isn't so bad since I've been "working from home" these last two days thanks to my wireless broadband card. The desert sections yesterday were a little sketchy though and I was out of internet for a couple hours. So I drank instead. Which was fine until I got off the train to smoke a cigarette at a stop and almost got left behind because I didnt hear the "all-aboard" call. Oops.
Work is really hectic right now... as it always is... and part of me feels like I should have cancelled my trip. And I had people I could have spent Christmas with in Los Angeles but since I had already decided to go home I was kind of looking forward to it. Plus, I promised to take my nieces ice skating and for some odd reason, it's the most important thing to me in the world currently.
So here I am on my way home for the holidays to see some friends and family, eat a lot of food, and hopefully just relax.
