Y9 D200

My throat is done for this morning. Thank god I don't have a class today and can rest it. I have that Kathleen Turner voice going on right now. Mixed with Danny DeVito. It's pretty nasty. My nose is finally starting to snot too. Such fun.

Got through my one student yesterday. She didn't show until 8. Apparently she sent an email saying she couldn't start early but she sent it to just my boss which means I never saw it. I had that class ready to go at 5am and sat and sat and sat. Whatever. At least I finished around 2:30 because it was just one student. She was okay. Not a big talker but not too crazy either. She kept comments to a minimum, got through the demos, and asked good questions.

After class didn't do much of anything. Both B and I were anxious because we felt like we were just sitting around. To kill time we cleaned the fish tank. it was supposed to do it while she was gone, but now it's done. At 5:30 I checked traffic and it was showing 1 hour 41 minutes to the airport. Ugh. But I knew most of that was rush hour traffic and it would change dramatically the later I waited. But at the same time, it was making me even more anxious. We ended up leaving a little after 6 and got to the airport about 7:30. That was just 2 hours for her to wait. Not horrible given that she had no layover. For me coming back home there was zero traffic and I made it back in 45 minutes. Go figure.

She landed without incident around 2am but unfortunately she didn't sleep because she normally doesn't sleep until that time anyway. That's the sucky part. She's now sleepy but has to do shit with family. Her mother is already pissing her off. She pulled some next level passive aggressive shit yesterday. They are supposed to go to Frankenmuth today, aka the Christmas town, and it was going to be B, her mom, her grandma, and her sisters. A good chance to spend time with a number of people. Well her mom conveniently forgot to tell her grandma, decided the kids should go to school, and boom, it became a 'best friends' day. See her mom is under the impression they are friends. Which they're not. At all. Joke is on her though. The girls heard her talking and managed to get her to let them go. At least she can use the time to spend with her sisters. They're supposed to leave in a little while, but we will see how that goes.

I am going to make slow cooked ribs today. B got the idea planted in my head the other day about ribs so I bought a rack of baby backs and am putting them in around 8. Let them cook all day at 250. That will give me food for at least three days. Other than that, I have to write a document today and configure a server. Not too bad. I can take a nap and rest my voice as needed.
