Left the house at 4:30 yesterday, airport at 5. Touched down in New York roughly 10 hours later thanks to time changes. Yesterday I "lost" four hours total between travel and DST. Somebody owes me a 1/6 of the day please. Left New York and ended up in DC at 7pm. That was the extent of my day. From 4am to 7pm I was either in airports, planes, or cabs. Whee.

I know I shouldn't complain. A friend pointed out to me last night I get to see the world on someone else's dime. True, but it does get tiring sometimes. This is the first time I have been to DC and I would like a little bit of time to play tourist. It seems like whenever I am on the road and in a place like this I am either too far outside the city to do anything fun (like being in NY or SC where I was too far from the big city to see it) or too buys to leave the hotel. Well I am 1.5 miles from the White House and other places and plan to walk back to the hotel today after work to see things. At least get some pictures and be able to say I have seen these things. I did see the Washington Monument and the Pentagon on the way in. I am definitely not Captain Patriotic about these things, but it was kind of cool seeing part of my country's history.

Talked to TGF a couple of times yesterday. It will be hard this week given the time difference and both of our schedules but hopefully we will have some time to chat. I noticed yesterday that when she is at my place she is happy and bubbly and I don't feel any of the weirdness I feel when we talk on the phone. I think she is getting tired of being at home and that's what I am picking up. I think it's me, but the reality is it's her home life. It drains her. No, there's isn't much I can do about it, but it is what it is.

I talked to the kid last night and she was in a shit mood once more thanks to KBF. The boy really needs to learn some social skills. He is upsetting her when he leaves because he doesn't leave gracefully. I don't want to intervene, but...

Off to meet my co-worker.
