The mother-in-law is safe at home. Couple hours of delays in Chicago due to a medical emergency on her incoming flight. Her plane got rerouted to St Louis because someone was ill. I don't know any more details just that she had one of my kind of travel days.

Speaking of travel, I fully booked my KS trip (4/30 - 5/5), and partially booked my MN trip (4/25-4/28). Partially because I still need an address to book hotel and car, but the flight is done. I leave 5/8 for Seattle, and 5/21 for OK. A little bit of travel coming up? Points points points. We only need 75k miles more for Australia tickets. Anyone with American miles who wants to donate, feel free. We can do it!

Taught my class, finished about 1:45. It went fine. No issues. Had to deal with getting the mom out of the house before hand which threw me off a little bit, but all good. After class I didn't want to nap even though I was tired. Instead I did laundry, cleaned the kitchen, put away the air mattress, and a bunch of other little things. Including going to Target to get some bins to help rearrange and reorganize my closet. The dresser in there is not working out for me. It's taking up too much room.

Speaking of the air mattress, it was nice to be back in my own bed last night. I slept fairly well. A little bit of a sinus pressure headache this morning, but that has more to do with the weather not knowing what it's doing than the bed.

Made chicken for dinner and then B went into the other room. She is doing some editing for her friend on her new book and had a chapter to deal with last night. Something tells me down the road, while she would rather write, she has better career choices as an editor. She's good at it. Who knows.

One thing I found interesting about this last week is B's mom told her how great I am as a husband. Humbly, I accept the praise, but let's be honest - 10 years, 20 years ago, you wouldn't have said that. The only reason I am so good now, is because I was such a shit before. I had to learn. If a person is lucky, they learn and grow with one person. Sometimes it's the second or third who gets to benefit. Sometimes people don't grow at all and end up alone. So while I am grateful for the compliment, it was a long fucking journey to being a good husband and person. A long long journey.

Got some random stuff to do today. Testing, finalizing trips, etc. Let the fun begin.
