Y6 D301

Had a pretty good, albeit long, day. Got out of the house at about 1:20am and hit town at just before 6:30. A hair over 5 hours. B slept for most of it. I was having a rough time near the end but otherwise I was okay.  I wasn't as excited as I normally am on these drives because this is work, not play primarily. Like right now, I am up because I have to go get ready and head out to the client and spend my day with a bunch of people 'mentoring'. It's not a play day. And that thought was stuck in my mind the whole drive which kind of put me in a sour mood.

We went to IHOP and had breakfast and I just kind of picked at mine. I was still grumpy and just did want anything. We parked the car and took the shuttle over. Luckily the park was dead thanks to it being Sunday and overcast. We walked right on in, did some shopping, and then grabbed FastPasses for Elsa and Anna. I expected it to be HOURS before return time but nope, it was 30 minutes. I can handle that. We wandered around, did some pin trades (I actually got about 15 pins which is the best I have done in a while!), and headed back to Frozen Fun. We got to see them and Anna is the better sister. I am not going to be all "oh keep the magic" in this case - Elsa's wig sucks. Seriously. They need to improve her as a face character. Anna was spot on but Elsa, no way. With that done, we headed over to the main park. Since it was still dead we walked onto Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, and Small World. Bam bam bam. We had dole whip and bagel sticks, fed ducks, and headed out around noon. We got to Pasadena around 1:30. It took us almost an hour to go 37 miles. Yay SoCal traffic.

I had to pick up manuals first (another thing that was stressing me out during the day) and we drove a little looking for the FedEx office. Manuals found, we headed to the hotel. Luckily it was .5 from the FedEx. Parked and checked in. DIAMOND UPGRADE POWER ACTIVATED! SO,  I had a corner room on the 7th floor all setup. But the nice counter guy looked up upgrades for me and BAM we are in the ONLY two room full suite on the 12th floor. Suck it bitches. This room could easily be a one bedroom apartment for someone. Unpacked, ironed, went to the store, had a fridge brought up, caught up on emails. Oh and did I mention while we were driving to the hotel AND moments after getting to the hotel, B spent the whole time sleeping. If you notice some animosity there, you'd be right on the money.  She slept until 6 when we went down for dinner. I had the most incredible lamb chop for dinner. We brought dessert back up to the room and I hooked my laptop up to the TV. We watched Jane the Virgin finally. It's okay. I will give it at least one more episode.

Around 9:30 I had had enough and collapsed. I slept pretty good. I woke up to an email from my boss about my bonus plan response I sent to him. We will be discussing that on Thursday at dinner. At Steakhouse 55. In Disneyland hotel. Booyah. Now it's time to see how bad this client is. Wish me luck.
