Slept. And slept. It's already 8:15 here. I needed it so bad. Granted I didn't go to bed until after midnight, but man did I need this sleep.

Washed the car yesterday. Cleaned the garage. Bought some games off the Steam Summer Sale. Rearranged furniture. Cleaned the house. Made a mexican chicken skillet dish for dinner. Went to the store for ingredients. Only time leaving the house.

What day is it? I think it's Sunday? Is it July yet? Almost my birthday. Whee.

Y11 D34

Been up for a little while already. Been dealing with an ucoming project in August at UCLA. Looks like I will be teaching a group there at the end of August but they have STRICT travel guidelines that may cause me some trouble. Been trying to find a hotel that is within their budget guidelines that won't force me to drive from the middle of nowhere each day in LA traffic. I think I found one about 8 miles away but this is not going to be a fun trip. Sigh. It will get me where I need to be for next year's status, but still a pain in the ass.

Did a ton of shit yesterday. Did laundry, went grocery shopping, dealt with a still sick B. We had a package arrive yesterday that was cool. We got one more Harry Potter pic for the basement. I spent time rehanging and reconfiguring the walls down there. Check it out:

I know I don't do a lot of pics in this thing, but this one was worth sharing. Only two more and we will have the complete set. Very excited about that.

Also spent time converting files, answering emails, making dinner, cleaning the house, and overall working myself to death. Fun.

I did do one cool thing. I got my birthday present last night. I got me a smart watch! I am not 100% sold on if I need one, but I plan to try it out the next few days and see if it's worth the $300 I spent. I want something to be able to communicate with B while traveling without having to pick my phone up every time to send a message. I am hoping this makes my life easier for quick replies to her. I am not sold on it fully but am willing to try it for a few days. They told me at the store I can easily return it within a week if it doesn't work out for me. We shall see.

Went to bed around 10:30 after just running out of energy. Today I am nit sure what's planned. It's hot outside so B will probably not want to do much. I'm okay with that.

Y11 D33

I am home!! Got lost in OH though. Due to road closures and the GPS not knowing about them, I got turned around and ended up in the middle of nowhere. Like the part of OH where you know you're about to die because some dude wearing a human face mask made of the last victim is standing in the middle of the road holding a dead deer head. Yeah. Just like that. I lost about 30 minutes total and backtracked six miles but I made it. No dead deer head either. Thank god.

Got through my last day with the OH group, for now. I am giving up some time on Tuesday to talk next steps with them and I expect that in August or September I will be coming back to do more training. Okay. As long as I get my cut.

Got Cane's for dinner, ate, packed, slept. Left around 11:30. On the way out, checked email. I am going to be teaching at UCLA in August. 5 full days. That means 6 hotel nights and another 7500 air miles. Okay. I will be 3 nights away from another year of diamond and 10k miles from another year of platinum. I will have 4 months to hit both goals. Doable.

Today I am doing laundry (already started), dropping off the rental car, and then I am done. At least for a few days. No obligations, no nothing. I just need a break.

Y11 D32

I get so sick of starting each daily entry with 'i'm tired' but it's true. I am beyond exhausted. I am just done to my core. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally. I need to use one of those isolation chambers to get myself back in synch with things. I am just done. I only have to make it through today and then I get a few days to myself. No alarms, no travel, nothing. I can just do nothing. So close yet so far. I have to cross that finish line.

Yesterday went pretty smooth. But it took a lot out of me. So much that I didn't even eat dinner last night. I went back to the room and collapsed for an hour and then just didn't feel like going out. No room service at this hotel. I ended up eating a tiny box of apple jacks and some puffcorn. Quality dinner there buddy.

Last day. Teach, sleep, drive home. As soon as I drop the car off tomorrow, I am freeeeee.

Y11 D31

Tired. So tired. Can't shake the sleep. Don't want to be up. Must make it three more days. Ugh.

My sister sent me a block o text and man, some shit has been going down with her. I feel bad that I couldn't respond in depth but was just too tired to give it the proper attention it deserves. I promise I will respond more when I get home and can focus on it.

Had dinner with a coworker who's in town working with the same client as I am. That was enjoyable. Went back to the same place as Monday night. Probably end up there again tonight.

10 students. 9 of whom are doing well. One is struggling a bit but holding their own. No major issues.

Not much else to report on right now. Bills to pay, planes to catch, you know the drill.

Y11 D30

Here I am again in OH. Going down that long stupid road. Meh, doesn't work. I tried. I am too tired to come up with good parody right now.

I was so exhausted yesterday. I got on the wrong freeway at one point, ended up driving 20 minutes out of my way. The freeways here are all clustered together and if you're in the wrong lane, you're screwed. Whatever. Still made it here by 2:30.

Went to a place called Melt for dinner. I will be returning. Had a good melted monte cristo. Ironed my clothes. Had a final debrief with my old boss from 7-9. That was fun. He once again offered me and my coworker future jobs.

I hope he does make it and can offer us real jobs in the future. I am now counting on it, but I can hope.

Went to bed around 11. Three days. Three long days and I get some time to myself. Must power through this and do it.

Y11 D29

This is it! My last drive to OH for hopefully a while! Regardless, after this week I am taking 10(!) days off!! The nice part is only 3 of those are PTO. We got weekends, holidays, and a company meeting. So out of 240 hours off, I only have to claim 24. Not bad, eh?

Dealt with little miss sicky yesterday. She was miserable yesterday and made sure I knew all day. I went to the store like 5 times for her yesterday. First she was out of soup, then she needed more medicine, then it was something else. Ugh. It was rough. She parked her ass in the front room and watched Grey's all day too which was not fun for me. I tried to find other things to do but failed. I also didn't want to spend the day wearing headphones but it almost came to that.

She refuses to take things like NyQuil when she is sick. Non-drowsy only. So instead of sleeping all day and getting better, she complained all day. Fun.

4 hours, I am on the road. Back in OH. Let's do this.

Y11 D28

Had an okay day. Grocery shopped. Laundried EVERYTHING. We found that the cats peed on the bed downstairs so mattress cleaning, linen washing, etc. Fun times.

Oh did I mention B is sick and a royal pain in the ass right now?

Really good times.

Y11 D27

I have such a headache this morning. Pressure and sinus kind. Ugh.

AC guys arrived around 9 and got to work. They finished up at about 4:30. The new unit outside looks really nice. They did a great job at mounting everything, making it look clean, etc. The new base unit is so much more quiet too. Can barely hear it when it's on. I like it a lot. Down at the furnace they cleaned things up, got the new filter installed, and add the humidifier. That's such a neat thing to me. I can't wait to try that out.

Did random stuff during the day while they were here. Laundry, cleaning, etc. Once they were gone we worked on getting that mattress out of the basement and put the guest room back together.

Had indian food for dinner with leftovers for tonight.

After dinner we finally had an overdue discussion about everything that's been bugging me lately. It helped a lot. I feel better about some stuff. Mostly B spending money on other people while I am on the road, my envy of not having a life or any friends, and how I am frustrated about a lot of stupid things right now because I am overworked. It felt good to get these things off my chest.

Grocery shopping tonight, but otherwise, no hard plans. Good.

Y11 D26

I'm home. For now. I have to leave again monday, but at least I am here for a couple of days.

Got through my last day. I was starting to lose it at the end. There was one student in particular who didn't speak english well at all, was not technically savvy, and really didn't belong in day three. I kept my cool the first two days, but lost it yesterday. I was trying so hard to not flip. But I made it.

Got a sandwich on the way back to the hotel, ate, and then slept from 6-11. Headed out around midnight. 3h 22m. Acceptable.

We have to drop the car off in a couple of hours, then the AC guys will arrive. That's the rest of my day. Plus expenses, time sheet, etc. Good times. Doing laundry right now. Then I will repack. Sigh.

Y11 D25

Did not sleep as well last night. Had a weird dream where Wilford Brimley was yelling at me about the hat I was wearing. In the same dream I was at a grocery store trying to find a place to sleep but every place I tried to lay down was too noisy and kept bothering B so I ended up on the floor. What the fuck?

Day two went okay. No issues. Last day with this group. I can make it through. Come back, sleep for 5 hours, drive home. Get AC installed tomorrow. Do laundry. Leave again on Monday.

Y11 D24

I just had the best night's sleep in a hotel I have had all year. A few things played into it; first off the bed here is really nice. A good mattress topper, not too firm, not too soft. Second, and more importantly, I brought my own pillow. My god, I love my pillow. The advantage of driving. What a difference it makes. I wish I could bring it everywhere.

Had a rough day yesterday. Not due to the students, but the facility. We get setup in a room and 8 minutes before class starts some pain in the ass tells us we have to mvoe rooms. WTF? "We have a daily meeting and you have to move". Um, screw you? So I had to move 14 people, all my stuff, manuals, flip chart, etc in under 10 minutes to start on time. We ended up in a janky ass room where the projector was shot against a tiny ass whiteboard, pointed at me all today with the fan blowing hot air, and no AC because the room is under construction. Made for a shitty day facility wise. I am looking forward to next week to be back in the other building.

Made it through the day and had a decent dinner. I went to a fancy place where I had a 7 course tasting menu. Some interesting things. 5 of the 7 courses were good, the other 2 acceptable. It was a nice leisurely dinner which I did enjoy.

Got back to the hotel, killed things, went to bed around 10.

Two more days here, then home for my new AC install, then back to OH. Then finally some time off.

I found out that one of our sales people recorded one of our classes. OMG it is shit. This needs to stop. Now. July 8th is going to be a fun meeting of me yelling at people.

Oh hey, it's almost my birthday, isn't it? Yay?

Y11 D23

I slept for 5 hours straight without waking up in a hotel room! Amazing! How? I took B's advice on something. Since I drove here, she suggested I take my pillow with me. Smartest thing ever. Using my pillow instead of the shitty hotel pillows made a huge difference. I actually got a solid night's sleep.

I did have some interesting dreams. I can't quite remember the last one, but I clearly remember one with one of my old old bosses. We were doing coke together and he was screwing around and causing things to spill and I was getting pissed off at him. Dream or memory flashback, who can say.

Our marketing person is pissing me off again. She keeps asking us to be ready to deliver stupid ass webinars and we keep telling her we are 100% booked and don't have time for her shit. I can't wait until we are face to face next month so I can have some 'words' with her.

Drive was uneventful mind some heavy rain at times. Made it in about 3.5 hours. The GPS took me a weird way this time because I am downtown instead of in the suburbs. Lots of long stretches of nothing with random little towns where you have to go from 60 to 35 in an instant. With lots of local cops sitting right there on the border waiting for a fuck up. How can that be legal? I saw something yesterday which was interesting. These new cop cars where they have lights to turn on or off that display the polie info on the side. Let's the car go from regula rto 'undercover' in an instant. Because police here aren't serving and protecting. They're harassing and collecting funds. Fuck them.

Had dinner at a bad italian place. Service was horrible. Food was mediocre. Prices wrong. But this area shuts down after 5 and a ton of stuff was closed on Monday. I hope to have better luck tonight.

Three days. 15 students. Pouring rain. Fun times ahead.

Y11 D22

I slept. Mostly good. I am looking forward to being out of town this week. B has been an anxious mess and made sleep rough. Every noise I make is amplified in her brain so she is constantly kicking me to 'stop making noise' even if it is a little noise. Not fun getting kicked in the back for every noise I make. So yeah, I will enjoy being in a hotel this week.

Speaking of hotels, I realized I have been to this hotel before. One of my other clients is literally across the street from the one I will be at this week. I didn't recognize it before because I flew in before and took a cab. I was doing a street walk in maps to look at the area and it clicked. It's like wait, I know this hotel. I haven't been there in a while, but I remember it.

Cleaned the gutters yesterday. Got up on the roof and halfway through it started pouring. I am glad I finished the job but it was not fun. I was soaked through by the time I got off the roof. The gutters are clean on top at least. Still have some leaves in the pipes but I couldn't finish in the rain.

B went over to her grandparent's for Father's day. I stayed home and enjoyed alone time. She brought back manicotti for dinner.

Leaving in 4 hours. Drive. Teach. Repeat until July.

Y11 D21

Another bad night. Too dry. I can't wait to have a humidifier in the whole house. I also wonder if I am getting a cold. My ear is popping and cracking too. I need to be sure to bring drops with me next week.

We had a busy day yesterday. Store, visit to B's grandparent's, grilled dinner, went to Old Navy for B after dinner.

Oh, Happy Father's Day to all of you. I am spending mine cleaning the gutters. Good times.

Leave tomorrow for OH.

Y11 D20

Had a better night. I was using the wrong pillow. I have two pillows on the bed. One for my head and one to put against the wall. They got switched on Thursday night. Hence my bad snoring. Yes, a pillow makes that big of a difference for me. It's because I am fat. If I just lost like 100 pounds I would be fine. But you know.

I putzed yesterday and it was wonderful. I needed a down day. We did get confirmation that the bay area meeting is happening. I booked us for 7/5 - 7/9. Going to see friends, hang out, and hopefully get some shit resolved. It's probably going to be hot and nasty while we're there, but oh well. I am taking the first part of that week off too which will really help.

B's friend is staying with us again. She has this community service shit to do three more weekends and she lives an hour away from where she needs to be at 7am on a saturday and sunday. It's easier for her to spend the night with us as we're only 15 minutes from where she needs to be. I don't mind. She's a good person who has made some bad decisions but owns them and is trying her best.

She did get a new job (sort of). She works for one of the major home improvement stores here and just got promoted to be a manager at a brand new store opening nearby. She has been working to open it every day. 70 hours last week. We went to dinner to celebrate. She doesn't get a lot of victories in her life and we thought she could use acknowledging this one. After dinner we popped into the mall just to hang out. I needed that. Some non-scheduled out time. It helped a lot.

Today I have to get a ladder and clean the gutters. Oh boy!! Leave on Monday for week 1 of 2 in OH. Oh boy again! Other than the gutters though, I have no obligations. Going to make some burgers and dogs on the grill tonight.

Y11 D19

Apparently I was snoring realy bad last night. So bad, B kicked me to the basement. Well to the other bed which just happens to be in the basement right now. Meh, I slept better so screw it.

Got through my class. Barely.

I've pulled something in my shoulder. My right two fingers are tingling and it hurts to move my shoulder. Fuck me. Oh well.

I have become comfortably numb.

Y11 D18

Another horrible day with the most entitled asshole students. There's 4 of them from one place and they are just being rude to everyone else. They're late. They're in a conference room. They don't pay attention. Fuck. Them. Day two sucked. Last day today thank god.

The kid got my pink couch back finally. It's in her house and looking good. Missed that stupid couch. Some day it will be back in MY house. Yeah. Right.

Had Jimmy Johns for dinner. B was at Bingo. I went to bed at 10, not sure what time she got home.

I did watch something good. I finished Russian Doll. That one is worth watching. Now on to Johnathan Strange and Mr Norell. Two episodes in. I like it. Hey Mikey, he likes it.

Sleep, perchance to dream.

Y11 D17

Fuck 'social media'. There's a reason I stay off that shit. Lately people have been griping about tech monopolies but they always seem to forget one in the conversation. They talk about Faceshit, Amazon, Google, but they always leave out LinkedIn. The biggest, stinkiest shit hole of them all. I was on there last night, god only knows why, and guess who was in my fucking 'suggestions'? Yep. Ten years I have been doing fine. Ten fucking years. How? Why? That person isn't in any of my contacts. That person shouldn't be connected to anyone I know. But there they are. Fuck your algorithms. I mean spyware. That happened right before bed and left me in such a sour mood it isn't funny. Fucking cunt.

Woke up at 2am in screaming pain because I was somehow twisted under my arm and putting all of my weight on my wrist. Hurts like a motherfucker this morning.

Four of my six students were late. By like 15 fucking minutes. All six of them are duds. Barely made it through the day without screaming.

The big boss is waffling on an onsite meeting in July. He wants one person there that to me is so fucking irrelevant it's not even funny.

I NEED A FUCKING BREAK. This is week 7 of 9. I am losing it.

Watched episode 3 of Black Mirror. God how awful. I felt like I was watching an R rated episode of Goosebumps it was so cheesy and cliche. Poor Brooker. The world is so fucked up that instead of politicians fucking pigs, they are just fucking pigs. How's that go? Nothing left to say anymore. When it's all the same you can ask for it by name.

Are you motherfuckers ready for the new shit?

I need an adventure. I need a saga. What's the saga?

I'm dying inside slowly. I need to do SOMETHING before I go insane. Oh wait. Too late.

Y11 D16

$6000. That's what a new air conditioning system with humidifier and super once a year filtration system costs. I know this because it's what I spent yesterday on all that. Good times. It will be installed next Friday. One day, in and out. At least I won't have to spend that again for a good 15-20 years. At least I better not.

FINALLY finished a class I have been working on for months. I found the time to get it all squared away. Took forever because of my damn schedule.

So between AC man and document, that was my whole day. B had to go help a friend and was gone until like 6pm.

Watched Black Mirror episode 2. Better than episode 1 that's for sure. So far this season has been horrible. Poor Charlie Brooker. The world is too fucked up to think of anything more bizarre than what's outside the window.

Three days of classes. Whee.

Y11 D15

Last night's bizarre dream was that Starbucks had finally taken over the world. Not in a figurative way but in an actual literal way. They had been running a special where people could get all the coffee or whatever they wanted and they wouldn't have to pay for it until some future time. Then they said, okay, payback time. Oh? Can't pay us back? On our slave ships. Yeah. I know. Hey it could happen. I wasn't affected since I don't drink there or coffee in general. Yay me. No, I didn't try and save the world. I said fuck it. Sounds about right.

B and I did house stuff yesterday. I worked in the backyard for hours on end. Cleared trees, bushes, long grass. She worked on cleaning the garage. That was the bulk of our day. I then grilled some steaks. Yes, I have to get my money's worth out of that BBQ. Next thing I know it's 7pm and I am ready to do nothing. We watched some tv and went off to bed.

Today I have to finish up a class and have two AC people coming to give us quotes. One at 8, the other at 10. Then it's back to doc work. I have a three day class this week with six students starting tomorrow. Then I am back in OH for two weeks. Then possibly the bay area. Then Boston. Shoot me.

Y11 D14

Went grocery shopping in the morning. Got enough food to last until I leave again and for B to have some while I am gone. 

Came back, cleaned the house. B baked a couple of things. I cleaned the basement. 

Watched some tv. Made ribs. Cooked in the oven for 90 minutes then finished on the grill. They came out really nice. I was happy. 

Went and visited B's grandma. Borrowed their weed whacker to use today. I am a bit nervous. All the stuff I have used in my life has been electric. This ones is gas with the weird 2 cycle oil mix. Hopefully I will figure it out.

Went to bed around 10:30 and got more good sleep. Sleep is friend.

Y11 D13

Yesterday I was worried about the AC costing an arm and a leg. Boy was I wrong. It will cost an arm, a leg, a left nut, a kidney, and possibly a spleen. Good times.

Did stuff around the house until 6:30; copied files, did laundry, caught up on emails, cleaned cat shit, etc. At 6:30 I couldn't see straight due to lack of sleep. Fell asleep on the couch until 8. Woke B up and we went and dropped off the car. Got back, hung around, and then AC guy came.

Sigh.

The fan motor is seizing up because the unit is 22 years old. Options? Replace fan for $1500 but the whole system may still die. Replace the whole thing which can run $3500+. We have their whole house guy coming out on Monday to discuss. Plus I called two other people to get quotes from them. Yeah. Life sucks.

Went for pizza last night because fuck it.

Came back, tried to watch Black Mirror. Got bored in the first 10 minutes.

Went to bed at 10:30 and finally got some decent sleep. No plans for this weekend thank goodness. But I do need to vacuum and do some yard work. I can handle that.

Does look like my idea of a team summit is coming together. That's a good thing.

Y11 D12

Home. 3h 13m. Five minutes faster than the trip there. Mostly because of less traffic in the areas where the freeway turns into town. But had more lane closures and crews on the way home. Trade off. Regardless, it was still faster than flying. You know, I keep saying that but wait a second... Nope. I was right. There are no non-stop flights out of here and the fastest is 3h 24 minutes sending me through DC, 3h 54m sending me to Chicago. No thanks. I will drive for that time difference. Because that doesn't include getting to the airport, waiting around, getting my rental car, dropping it off, etc. Granted, I have a rental car here, but it's much more leisurely. I have two more trips this month and I will drive. Looks like in July I will have Boston and OK and then in August, Los Angeles. That's a good 10,000 miles right there. Works for me.

Day three was good. They weren't a bad group, but man they had a lot of questions. 14 people in the room and some struggled a bit but in the end we got there. Finished 6 minutes over but it was worth it. I went to Chick-Fil-A for dinner, slept from 7 until 11. Took a shower and left.

Today I have to drop off the car and then AC guy is coming around 11. Let's hope that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Y11 D11

11 11. Neat.

Doesn't take much to entertain me I guess.

Whatever doesn't kill you? Gonna leave a scar.

Day 2 of three complete. Didn't kill anyone. Miracle.

Had Rusty Bucket for dinner. Meh. It was food.

Asshole boss in his last minute ditch attempts to put as many deals under his name tried to send me to Boston July 1st. Fuck you. Six weeks straight of training with 5 of them on the road? No. Just no.

Then has asked if I would go on the 10th. Fine. More miles and hotel for me. But fuck I need a break. A serious one.

Watched like three episodes of The Americans last night. Took me a little bit to get into that show, but I am digging it now.

Black mirror season 5 went out yesterday. Consensus so far is it sucks. I think it's because the world is more fucked up than Booker can create. Same reason why the twilight zone was hit or miss. Some of the episodes were just too every day. The new 'normal'.

I hope you're all still happy with your choices. Good job.

Y11 D10

Another shit night of sleep and my back is killing me. Good times.

Had a weird fucking dream last night about being a vampire and killing people. Freaky shit.

Class went okay. Major technical issues but I rolled with it. Group is okay. A couple of people are a little slow but we made it through. Barely. I don't know how they're going to do the next two days but oh well.

Had Raising Cane's for dinner. Went to bed at 9:30.

Do it again.

Y11 D9

I drove and drove yesterday. Almost 4 hours alone in a car with nothing but my thoughts. It was a long uneventful drive. But it did get me thinking. A lot. I listened to some old music. Music I listened to 10 years ago. 10 years ago when I found my world changed. Brought back memories. Some good, some bad.

Got up and left the house around 10, picked up the car, and got here around 2. Went to Walmart and got supplies for the week. Ironed. Unpacked. Went to BJs for dinner. Went to bed. Slept like shit. I need to remember to bring my own pillow on these driving trips. That would help.

I don't know where my head is at this morning. I have a bunch of stuff swirling around in there and don't know how to make sense of it all. Shove it all down and do the job. That's my life. Always shoving it down deeper and deeper.

Y11 D8

I was going to bed around 10 last night when the ales guy sent this long ass email to me about communication. He was trying to be nice and send it when I wasn't on the road. He unfortunately forgot about the 3 hour time difference. I then spent the next half hour crafting a response, rewriting it twice, and finally sending it around 11. One of the big things in there was there's never a good time for us trainers. Either we're teaching or enroute to teaching. It's always a bad time. Period. I am hoping for a smooth transition as my boss leaves, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Sigh.

Had a decent day. Got up and washed the car. Took care of shit around the house. Nothing exciting. Started watching Good Omens. Am I the only one who pronounces Crowley with an "ow" and not like "crow" or is it a British thing?

Finished up my packing for today. Heading out around 10, pick up my rental, and should hit Ohio around 3 or 4. All week in OH and home on Friday. Need to call AC people before I leave to have them here Friday if possible.

Had leftovers for dinner. The fridge is pared down for sure now. I don't feel like I am leaving B with an overwhelming amount of leftover food in there. She is planning on working with her dad this week which will be good for her.

That's about it. Don't expect too exciting of a week.

Y11 D7

So the AC isn't working. It's physically coming on and doing it's thing, but it's pushing out air, not cold air. Looks like we have to get it recharged. There's a call I have to make tomorrow. I am not calling this weekend because this isn't an emergency and I'm not paying emergency or even weekend rates. Luckily the basement is cold without air. We even went so far as putting the bed from the guest bedroom down there if it got bad. Luckily we opened the windows in the bedroom last night and not only was it acceptable, but I had the best sleep in a week. God I love outside air.

Went to the mall yesterday to pick up something B ordered, went to the grocery store, and took care of some little errands. Came back home and relaxed. Around midday the sky cracked open with massive thunder and lightning that went all night long. Even hailed at one point. Severe storm warning in effect.

It broke long enough around 5 for me to grill some steaks outside. That was fun. They came out great. We had steaks, corn, and a nice apple salad. Watched some tv, and went to bed around 11.

No plans for today that I am aware of. Of course that can always change. Leave tomorrow for OH.

Y11 D6

It's fucking hot in here. I can't tell if the AC is actually doing anything. It's on, but it doesn't seem to be blowing out any cold fucking air. I can't go all summer like this. I have a splitting headache this morning again. Man I wish she would let me open fucking windows.

Yesterday was long and boring. Six gate changes in Dallas. Flights uneventful. Did a bunch of shit like laundry and mail when I finally got home at 7:30pm.

Fuck.
