Y4 D286

The whirlwind travel plans are set. I spent the morning yesterday arranging and rearranging flights, cars, and hotels. As of the 13th of this month, I am off for 18 days through three states (six counting layovers). But most important, my Disneyland trip is booked and locked down for 4/18 - 4/21. Paid for thanks to the 18 days on the road I am about to spend. Three nights at the nice Hilton with a Disney park view. B's trip out is all locked down too. I made her flight plans. It's always interesting dealing with someone who doesn't fly regularly. While I don't like short layovers, I can handle them. For her we had to go through the list of flights to find ones that worked. We have her flying from Detroit straight into Orange County. I was able to get her first class for both of her flights to Disneyland at least for the same points as coach. This will be her first time flying this far solo with a layover in a major hub, but I am confident she can do it. Especially since she is in first class and will have food, drinks, etc. Bam baby. Also four scheduled classes from home in April are locked down. I am pretty set for billable hours for at least a month. That's the important part.

Besides dealing with all that, the only other thing I did yesterday was work on some documents and prep some demos for another class.

Caught up on Futurama, watched a couple of episodes of Batman, talked to B a lot. We have moved to Skype instead of text and that's really nice. It's almost like she is here.

I need her to make a decision though. I want her here. I want to start our life together. But she is afraid. Right now it's easy. I am a concept. I am someone who she only has to deal with as she wants. And vice versa. I get that. I am not naive. Romantic, yes, an idiot no. I am going to keep pushing her after these next two visits to plan to move out here in July. There has to be a cut off date. My lease is up in July. I will probably sign another year. That gives us and the kid one year to figure out what we are doing. I want to move back down south. I do. I am happier down there. I am happier being right next door to Disneyland. I think the fact that I am going to spend 18 days on the road this month shows it doesn't matter where I am to do my job. But I will hold that conversation with people until the time is right. Yes, i would be giving up a lot here, but...

More demo development today. Plus comic books I ordered are in. Whee!
