Y6 D39

I slept in until 6:45 this morning. Let my vacation begin! For me that's the equivalent of sleeping until noon.

Was up at 3CDT, left for the airport around 4. Dropped off the rental car. While I was waiting for things to open, I got my second upgrade notice. Yay! That meant I had upgrades on both of my flights. Hello small victories! Got through security in about 30 seconds because it was Tulsa at 4:30 in the morning. My flight boarded right on time at 5:30 and was in Dallas by 7. Found my second flight which also boarded right on time. We didn't take off until 20 minutes late due to runway construction but otherwise, no delays, no problems, no issues.

Landed around 10:45, B picked me up, and we headed home. It was so good to see B again. I missed her so much. Between her travels and mine, it has been rough. I was in a grumpy mood most of the week and I was afraid it was going to carry through. I think having my upgrades and easy flights kept me in a decent mood.

Got home, unpacked, and then took a short nap. Afterwards, we went out to run a couple of errands, then grabbed food at the Hawaiian place I like. More miles for the mile factory. When we got back, B decided to take a little nap and I tried to do my admin stuff I needed to get done - time sheets, expense reports, book my next trip. I managed to get through most of it. But I need our admin to make some adjustments to the system so I can finish my timesheet. She does this every time. I tell her repeatedly I need a project start and end date to be plus one on either end because I travel. If she doesn't do it, the system won't let me enter in my time correctly. Like I tried to enter in my travel time for Sunday but it didn't see that as a valid project date. Whatever. I did manage to book my first of three trips to Ohio. That was expensive given the short window and that it is the middle of summer. $800 for a flight and $800 for 4 days of hotel. Sorry client but maybe you should move a little faster next time.

When B woke up, we talked. Nothing important. Just random talk and we laughed. We ended up going to bed around 10 and she read for a while and I passed right out. Still in need of sleep.

89 hours until my birthday! Yay me! Today I plan on doing as little as possible. I need to call the new complex and see if they have something coming available that we want. If so, we will take a drive out there today to get paperwork completed. I got paid already thanks to the holiday which is nice. I can pay any application fees without stress. Going to call them at 9 to see if we are going. Also going to call the hotel and make a spa appointment for us for next week. We both are in serious need of massages.

Now, now I must poop.
