Still very sleepy and tired. Nothing like time zone changes to throw you out of whack. Since yesterday was a travel day, not much happened, but it wasn't completely uneventful. As for the travel itself, that was pretty straight forward. I did do something smart for once - I brought along a couple of nicotine patches. I always say I am going to do this and then forget, but this time I actually remembered. That made the 10 hours of airport time much more bearable. Instead of getting off the plane in South Carolina wanting to kill someone, I was quite functional. Made things easier. During travel, I sent an email to an old friend. We haven't talked in a while but I thought I forgot his birthday. I sent an email and he told me that I was off a few days. It was nice he responded and the possibility of finally burying the ax and discussing what has happened over the last year came up. Good. I do miss having him as a friend to talk to about things. Hopefully this will come to fruition.

The other thing was me and The Date exchanged a couple of texts. Nothing long or fancy, but at least we are having open lines of communication which shows me she is still into me. That's nice. And she reached out to me not the other way. That always feels good when you're not the one reaching out. Feel less desperate and needy that way.

Got into SC around 5:30, checked into my hotel, then went to the same restaurant around the corner that I spent all my time at last time. Had a really nice dinner and then came back to the hotel to TRY and sleep. Unfortunately the weather, the phone, and the world wouldn't let me. I was in bed by 9 but then I get a couple of texts, then the heater in the room starts making a weird noise, then my boss calls. Ugh. On that last one I answered with 'you forgot I am east coast didn't you?'. He started apologizing and I stopped him and asked if it was important. He said no. Great call you tomorrow, going back to sleep. It wasn't that late for normal time, but it was like 11:30 here. And as you can see, I am up early.

Don't know what I am going to do tonight yet; maybe for once this client will take me out...
