Do you realize almost a third of my writing year is complete? Over 100 days this year already gone. Time just keeps on keeping on. Stop now, okay?

Took me almost 12 hours of working yesterday but I got done what needed to get done. I finished converting that entire class. I was getting so stressed out at the end. Any email or other distraction was driving me nuts. I was so happy at 5pm when I finished. One less thing to worry about. I also booked all my travel for the next three weeks. Starting Monday, I am off to NJ, FL, and Socal with only 4 days at home in three weeks. The way things lined up, B leaves the same day I return. There will be two weeks where we don't see each other. The cats will be fine, but we will be losing our minds. I need 16k more miles on AA and 19 more stays at Hilton to hold my current levels of status for next year. I will get 12k of the miles and 12 of the nights in three weeks. I think I can do it before the end of year. We shall see.

After working we want to the mall. B still needed an outfit for the party while she is in MI and given my above schedule we don't have a lot of time to go shopping. Luckily she found a new dress and shoes and spent only $100 on everything. I can accept this. Took us quite a while and we ended up eating out unfortunately. I have been trying to minimize our eating out. Heck it's why I spent $150 on groceries dammit. But we were out.

We got home at 8:30 only to realize the store left the magnetic tag on. Fuck. It was too late to drive back to the store we got it at and we tried going to a closer one. They didn't have the same magnet thingie. WTF? They didn't even have the same dress so we could just swap it. Fail. Now she has to drive out there today while I am teaching or we go after work. Either way, another trip to the mall.

Went to bed shortly after all that because as you see I am up early. Today and tomorrow are 6-2 classes. Speaking of tomorrow, while we were at dinner I got the call confirming our new bed delivery date and time. Still tomorrow but now it's between 10-2. FUCK ME. It was supposed to be 2-6. I am not going to try and change it though because who knows how long it will be before they could get us back in. I need this bed here now. My back is getting torn up on this air mattress.

Time to get ready. 16 students, two days. Then a one day with 20 students. Ugh.
