Y11 D41

We ended up having a really good day yesterday. We got to the airport hella early so we could go talk to the counter people. The way things were looking we would end up being closer to our original travel connection time so no issue with making the connection. Especially when we found out we were coming and leaving from the same terminal. 4 gates in 40 minutes? Not. A. Problem.

We had a snack before the flight because now we had 90 minutes to kill. Boarded our first flight, had breakfast, watched some Stranger Things, napped, and got to DFW with no issues. B was a little tense on the first flight, but got through it.

Boarded our second flight with no problem and this time had lunch, watched Stranger Things, and napped. B did much better on the second flight. She was in a great mood when we hit SFO.

Took the tram to the rental car and it was PACKED for some reason. When we got to the garage, we headed towards our reserved car, a Chrysler 300 LTD. As we approached the car, right in front of it was a red convertible beetle as a select and go upgrade. B squealed and said I want that! I said fuck it. It's my birthday weekend, let's do it. So yeah, we have this sweet little convertible. B loves it so much. As a matter of fact, she wants that to be our second car now. Okay. I am down with this 100%. It would be the third beetle I have owned so why the hell not.

We stopped at Target to get sunglasses because, hey we're in a convertible, forgot ours, and the sun is bright! We hit the grocery store for a couple of things, then hit the hotel. 15th floor, right next to the executive lounge. The room is good, not fantastic, but good. Beautiful view of the bay right outside our window. No complaints.

Met up with a dear friend friend for dinner. We headed downtown San Mateo, walked, talked, had sushi, and ice cream. I miss being able to just chill downtown somewhere like this and laugh. This is the most relaxed I have been in MONTHS. I miss feeling this way.

Came back to the hotel, watched MORE Stranger Things with our friend, took her back to BART, and collapsed in bed around 11. A really fucking great day.

Today we are going to do a little shopping but moving at a leisurely pace. Around 7 we will head over to the beach to hang out with other friends and have Bday celebration number 2.

I am doing okay.
