Another oh so not exciting day. The kid had a day off from school and work yesterday so that made it a little more exciting. Sigh, no not really. What it did mean is I actually ate both lunch and dinner because she was home. When she is home during the day I end up making food for her and me both. Yesterday I made salmon burgers for lunch. I also went to the grocery store to make sure she had food while I am gone next week. Got my next trip too - 10/14 - 10/20 I am in IL. I will hit the hotel at the next level but still be 3,000 miles short on American. Dammit. So close I can taste it. Why am I chasing this? Because odds are I will travel at least as much as I did this year and I am going to enjoy it when I do. Upgrades. Better seats. Early booking times. Yeah, I want the perks goddammit. The hotel will be the best part because I will start getting double points. That means one stay will actually get me enough for a Disneyland weekend.
Speaking of that I will be back in the park in 24 hours. Sucking on a mint julep and eating a candy apple. Yeah, I know. But I am HAPPY when I am there. This time I am going with the kid so there is no pressure to *do* anything but be in the park. To bounce between DCA and Disneyland. Just boing a boing a boing... Collect pins. Eat. People watch.
I did renew my annual pass yesterday. While it went up to $629, I will actually end up paying less. How you ask? Because I won't be paying for XTGF's any more. I have been paying the monthly charge for hers too. So I have been paying $71 for two passes. I will now only pay the $52 for mine. I am saving $20 a month and still get my pass. Boom. You can see how exciting yesterday was if this is the stuff I am discussing.
Worked on client stuff on and off. I have probably *just* enough to get me through today. Here's hoping while not caring. I am going to bed at 4pm to make sure I get enough sleep before driving.
We took a break to go to the comic book store as Wednesday is new issue day. We figure only 10 or more to go before Before Watchmen is complete and we have the whole series.
For dinner I made us chicken burritos and we watched X-Files followed by Diablo. By the way, the new printer we got? Awesome. The kid has been using it for homework and I printed out some stuff for this trip and wow. Nice. I am very happy.
Oh it looks like I am hanging out with a friend on Sunday after I get back home from the park. We have been friends for a while and she needs some help shopping and well I would be remiss if I didn't do my part to help. Darn if I have to spend many hours with her by ourselves. Cest la vie.
That's about it. Going to start laundry in a little while, do some work, and get ready to tomorrow. Late post tomorrow as I will be driving then in the park. Probably around 4pm.
