Y4 D118

Back on the road. Got up at 3 yesterday, left for the airport at 4, hit Dallas around noon, got to Tennessee around 6. Flights were mostly uneventful. Got a nice new shiny red mustang as a rental car this week. Found the hotel without too much trouble. I then decided to head towards the client to get a feel for where they are. While I was standing in front of their nine hundred buildings I called my contact and asked for some clarification on which building etc and she was like 'oh is that you on the corner? We are on the shuttle bus heading downtown for dinner, come join us.' Ugh. I wasn't dressed for meeting people but I couldn't really say no either. We met at a small bar/grill. The food was okay. Nothing exciting. None of us were really happy with it. There were three of them plus me. I had shrimp and grits plus a side of deviled eggs. It was mediocre. I wouldn't go there again that's for sure. I apologized for my dress, but they all seemed okay with it. Got back to the hotel around 9, chatted online with friends and the kid for a little while. She was in her mopey I am bored, I have no friends state of mind. This is why I have a hard time with her. I want my friend to talk to her, but I don't want it to be major drama either. I sent my friend a message last night saying she needs to take a soft approach and that we would talk about that today. Was in bed by 11. SG texted me sometime in the night asking how Disneyland was. I will reply when I feel like it. Off to breakfast. This is my 'gold' stay by the way. When I finish these three nights, I will be gold at Hilton. I am still 11,000 miles short, but will pick up another 2500 on Friday. That drops me to 9.5 with 5 more coming in October. I can do this...
