Y5 D117

Sorry I am late, but I actually slept solid last night. Of course since I am about to leave tomorrow my body has adjusted to the time change. Story of my life. I need 3 days to adjust and then bam I leave. Whatever. If I go to Atlanta at the end of the month it will be worse since I won't even be there three days. They want to fly me out on day 1, teach on day 2, fly home day 3. Okely dokely. Whatever works for you. Gets me the points and miles. I go.

Got into the office about 7:20 yesterday and finished up what I needed around 1. I was planning to stay until 3 to be able to get feedback on the presentation but by 2:30 it was clear nothing was coming and I left. No guilt. I can't believe that in less than 16 hours I redesigned an entire 150+ slide presentation with custom content and demos. Yay me.

Got back to the hotel and was originally going to go to the mall to amuse myself. But it was 10000 degrees out with 1000% humidity. Instead I walked to the grocery store across the street, got a snack, and came back. Ended up napping for an hour.

Talked with B for a while. She was having company last night. One of our friends was coming over to watch a movie and just hang out. On one hand she was looking forward to company on the other she feels awkward around this person because she doesn't have a lot in common other than me. I hope it went well. I do know she was stressing out about cleaning the house. Yes, she is one of those. Given who this person is and the condition I have seen their place in before, I would have done nothing. Not B. She disinfected and scrubbed the house until it bled clean. Good news is I should come home to a clean house with nothing needing to be done on the weekend. This is a clean weekend for us - no shows, no parties, nada. I can sleep in and not leave the house if I don't want to. Yeah like that ever happens now a days.

I did manage to get the iOS7 update done on my tablet last night. I don't see any real difference to be honest outside of the UI. But then again, I don't use a lot of the system functions on it. It all looks the same to me. I am still considering a 5s when they come out as it will be the first true 64-bit phone. The drawback is the screen size. I have gotten very used to a large screen and the 5s is almost a full inch smaller. That could be the deal breaker for me. We shall see. B needs a new phone first as she is on my 3 year old hand me down Nexus. It's flaking on her, the cable isn't staying in when charging, etc. I think I am going to get her the Note 2. The Note 3 is coming in October and might be an option for me. 5.7" screen on that baby. Almost mini tablet. Meh, Christmas is coming. I can wait.

Watched a few episodes of the Doctor last night. Had stuffed salmon for dinner later in the evening. Was in bed by 10:30. Slept all the way through the night. Some weird/bad dreams but nothing I didn't shake off when I got up.

Today I have 20 students and will be in front of a room all day. Need all the energy I can muster.
