I am home. And the world is covered in this quiet layer of fog. Thick fog at that. I am sure glad I didn't have to drive home in weather like this. Oh wait...

The morning started off with me doing a 2.5 hour session with the client going over the things we spent three days discussing. We also got their IT group on the phone to make sure they knew what the hell they were doing. It was actually a very productive use of time. In the end I also secured future training and mentoring from them. A win in the work column.

Got back to the hotel, loaded up the car, and prepared to head out at 10:30. Expected time home was around 8pm.

What should have taken 8-9 hours to do yesterday, took 11. Eleven hours to drive 500 miles. Per both google maps and the GPS we went the 'fastest' way. Unfortunately that took us through three national forests and a whole shit ton of two lane roads. Even that wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't been for the snowstorm I ended up driving through. Snowstorm. In April. At one point we were down to 30mph staying in the tread marks of the semi in front of us. Even THAT wouldn't have been so bad except for the 5 car accident that shut down the two lane road for almost an hour. So much fun. I was shitting myself during the snowstorm part. No visibility. Sliding a bit on the road. It was rough as hell.

We finally got out of all that and made it to 5 where things opened up. We did stop for dinner because at that point we were both exhausted and hangry. Got home and the house SMELLS. Like rotting meat. We tried figuring out where it came from to no end. I took out garbage, kitty litter, and emptied the fridge but no luck. B immediately hit the bathtub. She has a cyst on her back that has been killing her for days. So bad we may go to the doctor today. I on the other hand am developing a cold which was driving me nuts. But even with a blocked nose, I could still smell the smell. I plan on tearing this place apart today to find it.

Got unpacked, things put away and went to bed around 11. Today is a light day. I got both of the upgrades on my flight Sunday. Thank you Platinum status. It's one less thing I have to worry about this weekend. I just have to do my time sheet, expense reports, and my class for the following week wants to talk. Whatever.

HOLY SHIT. I almost forgot the biggest news of all!! While we were driving home yesterday I got an email from my boss. He has a class for me the week of May 23rd and he wanted to make sure I was okay traveling to the UK! Yep. Going to London next month. SCORE. I am seriously looking forward to this. The details are still being worked out, but it would be one week of custom training in downtown London. So excited about it.

Time to start doing chores.
