We're home. Got home around 2. Slept from 3:30 until 6:30. Obviously I will need a nap later today. But we didn't want to sit in any traffic so we left around 9. Easier than leaving later and being sleepy or hitting morning commute time.
Had a very productive work day for my third day. Managed to solve a major issue from Tuesday and left the client extremely happy with the solution we implemented. They even took me out for a nice sushi lunch and brought cupcakes in for the afternoon, including a cupcake for B for being in the hotel all week. Finished up with them around 4 and headed back to the hotel.
During the day I also booked all of my next trips. So I have NJ next week for 10 days (leave Sunday), then I have Eden Prairie MN from 9/21 - 9/25, then I go back to this client 11/7 - 11/11. Whee. The upside is this should be enough to push me over the edge I need to have another year of Gold on American. I hit Diamond at Hilton already, but I have been stressing about the airline. I am very close but not close enough. These three trips should do it.
When I got back to the hotel, spent about 45 minutes packing as much up as possible then went down to the restaurant for dinner. Nothing fancy. I had a turkey burger and B had a wrap. Went back up and slept from 6:30 until 8. From there it was packing up and leaving.
The drive was okay. Some traffic coming out of Pasadena, but nothing horrible. B stayed awake the whole time which helped immensely.
Non-related thoughts:
I have been feeling pretty good lately. Stressed out due to the move, but otherwise positive about things. I feel this move is a really good step in a positive direction and it's helping my mental state. I am sure I will be depressed this time next week after being alone in NJ but at least I will know why I am blue. Right now though I am going to enjoy feeling okay.
