Three weeks to go and we start a new year. Wow. Time flies like an arrow, fruit like a banana.

Got a bunch of things taken care of yesterday including booking my flight to London. I officially leave on 5/22 and return 5/29. I will make like 15,000 air miles in one shot for this. 24 hours of travel though. I leave here around 7:30 in the morning and get to London 6:55am the next day. Woof. Sleeping pills here I come. Don't have a hotel booked yet though. We don't have an address for where the training will be taking place unfortunately. That has me a little stressed out but whatever. The longer they delay, the more this shit costs.

I also got a new tablet yesterday courtesy of the company. I had an old iPad mini that they bought me three years ago and while it was okay, I could tell it was getting a little long in the tooth. Not to mention it was getting harder for me to see the screen when I was onsite and trying to use it as a secondary monitor. I got the Samsung Tab S2 32gb with a 128gb micro SD card. More than enough room for what I do with a tablet. So far I like it. The only thing is getting my books organized the way I want them and still having the reading app pick things up. Annoying that the Kindle app wants it certain places. I am going to try a different reader today and see how it works. My big thing is I have about 1100 books and I want them in very specific folders. The kindle app makes you put them in one spot which irks me.

Worked on a new class yesterday. Got about halfway through it. I feel I can finish it up today. That will be nice as it's one we haven't advertised but we all feel will be received by the market well. Nice to have it in our back pocket when someone asks for it.

We had a nice pork roast for dinner which came out really well. After dinner we went out to Best Buy to return the case I bought for the tablet. It was too big and bulky for my tastes. I also found one on Amazon for a third of the price. It will be here tomorrow. Then we hit FedEx so I could mail the old tablet back to my bosses. I had no interest in keeping it. Done and out of my hair.

Watched a little tv, then went off to bed around 11. This has been a good week so far. A little stressed about money since I spent too much at Disneyland as always. But we should be fine this month. A little tight right before I leave for London but it will all even out towards the end of the month. It should all be good.
