Slept pretty well last night, always sleep better in my own bed. Well that's a load of shit, but it sounds nice, right? I did sleep well last night but I think it's just because I pushed myself to the point where I was going to sleep no matter what.

We left the hotel at 4:44 exactly. Traffic wasn't bad but a little heavier than normal given that it was a Wednesday. We rolled into town around 10, picked up B's Harry Potter poster from FedEx, and started unpacking. Laundry was started. Things were put away. I caught up on email and bills. Whee. We then went to the grocery store so B could have food while I am gone next week and so we have something to eat before I leave.

I also worked on getting the new laptop setup. I think I am almost done except for Office. But for that I need to find my install disc. And funny enough, I just found it. While I was typing that I was thinking about where it would be and checked. Voila. So now the new machine will be all setup. NOW the only missing is fucking Diablo. I wish Blizzard would respond to my email. I just want my damn account back. I didn't ask to change my password, they forced me to do it. And who the fuck can read captchas??

Sigh. Pisses me off. B and I had fish burritos for dinner and started catching up on shows. We watched 3 episodes of Criminal Minds. While we were watching the first one, we looked up potential flights for B to take in December to go back and see her family. We found one that isn't a big deal point or time wise, but for some reason that made her sad. I think I know why; it's because she won't have a whole lot of spending money to take with her while she is there. Not working has finally really hit her hard. While she has enjoyed it, it's been hard having to be as reliant on me as she is. I am sure the lack of self-sufficiency has bothered her even if she didn't realize it. Last night it came to the surface.

We also started putting together wishlists for Christmas on different sites. As of right now, I should have $480 for my Amazon budget this year. I am going to split it up $175 for each of us and the remainder for the kid. I think that's a fair split. That way we use cash for any other gifts we need to buy for people.

She ended up going to bed around 10 while I stayed up. I was hoping blizzard would respond but no such luck. I went to bed around 11:30.

Today I have a 9am conference call with a client in OK which may turn into me going out there in December. Bahamas has been officially moved to January. Not really complaining to be honest. I can start the year off with a 7000 mile flight and 13 days of hotel stay. Not bad. I would rather have that in 2015. Get a nice chunk of status out of the way in the first month. I wish I had that kind of mileage every month. That would bump me to the highest level like nothing.

Time to get prepped.
