Had a fun day for the most part yesterday. I was up and out of the hotel way too early but I did it to avoid traffic. I was up at around 2:30 and left at 4:10. I made it to the client site at around 5. 2.5 hours before I needed to be there. I watched like one show but was so sleepy I ended up laying the seat down and taking a 45 minute nap in the parking lot. This location is in a clinic which means it's open to the public and doesn't open its doors until 7:30. But I wasn't the only one in the parking lot at 6am. Nobody looked twice at someone sleeping in their car waiting for the doors to open. I went in around 7:25 with my contact and we set up the room. It's a bit of a bitch room in the basement, but I only have four students which works out even with a messed up room layout. This is a Tableau class which means lots of material to cover and we didn't finish until 4:15. Even then, I didn't get us as far as I would like so today I have to crack down and move us at a quick pace.
Headed out about 4:30 and it took me about 20 minutes to get to the hotel. They didn't have the room I requested and in exchange they moved me to a lower floor but into a suite. The downside is that it has two queen beds. Whatever. I am here for two nights. Changed my clothes and walked over to Bubba Gump's to meet a friend for dinner. Had a really good time catching up with him. He has recently lost a lot of weight and I am proud of him. I have known him for 20+ years and he looks good. It's been a lot of work and its paid off. After dinner we walked over to the park where I did a little shopping. I got a round sign of Oswald for the office, some earrings, and a Stitch hoodie. Walked on back and was in the room around 8.
Ironed, grabbed last night's shows, and went to bed. Today I do part 2 of the class, check in for my flight, and will probably go back to the park for dinner tonight. I may actually go into the park too. We shall see how crowded it is.
B is doing better. She's got her emotions back under check a little but she is still sad at how long I have been gone. We did learn one nice piece of news - it sounds like it is confirmed our downstairs neighbor is leaving us. BOOYAH. Bye bye miss annoying. Of course this means new people to deal with, but hopefully they will be better than her.
One more day to go and I will be home. Let's get through it, shall we?
