I made my airport shuttle reservations yesterday and they are indeed picking me up in the middle of the night. 3:30 am to be exact. Give or take 20 minutes. But I just didn't have any other option. I had to get that 6:30 am flight so that I could be there at the hotel, checked in and freshened up and ready to go at 6:30 pm. Of course, I could indeed miss that first evening. I did a few years ago when the meeting was in Portland, Oregon and I took the train down. The train was running late and I was so late that there wasn't any room left in the meeting hotel and I got put into an even nicer hotel across the street. I liked that.
Even though I was totally groggy and sleep deprived yesterday I had my run and it was pretty good. My allergies have been pretty bad lately and I needed to stop and have a couple of puffs on my inhaler about a half mile into the run, but after that it was fine. But was very glad it was Do Nothing Monday, because when I got home that was what I did -- nothing. I mean I walked Tink and played fetch and had some dinner. As much as I wanted to do a little knitting I was just too out of it. Truth be told, I was fast asleep by 9. Maybe even 8:30. Seriously. I knew there was a good possibility that I'd wake up after a couple of hours but I was trying to read and my eyes kept closing. I did wake up at 11 but I went right back to sleep. I guess I was really sleep deprived. We did get after it this weekend.
Groggy as I was, I was tempted to just skim over an email I got in the late afternoon about some "minor" changes to the autumn schedule. But I thought better of it and thankfully, too! I caught an error made by the scheduler in the SOM and set it to rights, getting an "attaboy" from the boss in the process. Hopefully today will be less stressful. I don't mind busy. I just don't like stress.
Here's something else I don't like - stinky people on the bus. There's no getting away from it, but I can gripe about it now and again.
