Y11 D197

Oh man it is so nice sleeping. Even though I am traveling today, my pickup isn't until 9:30. So I didn't have to go to bed at a ridiculous time. I went to bed normal, slept without an alarm. Neat!

I know this is going to sound crazy, but B and I planned a trip for the end of the month. Just 3 days two nights. A little getaway if you will. The catch is, I told B I wanted to stay at a nice hotel. No business hotel with a waffle maker. I have stayed in enough of those this year. When the destination is the key, the hotel matters less. In this case, the hotel is the key. I want to be pampered. I wanted a place with a spa and fancy sheets. So we are going to Grand Rapids. It's a two hour drive, but we are staying here:



Yeah. Fancy hotel. Calling tomorrow to make us a spa appointment. 6 onsite restaurants. Historical building and rooms. This is what I need. A get away. Not just another trip. We're going the 27th to the 29th. I now have something serious to look forward to after these work trips. Cool.

Ran a couple of errands yesterday but otherwise stayed in the house. Had Chilis for lunch because I have been promising to take B. Had leftovers for dinner. All worked out. We watched some tv, relaxed. I am still sick so not much else going on. I am hoping to clear this cold up this week. We shall see. I'll either day at this client or be healthy when I get home. 50/50 either way.

Ah now to go slowly get ready.

Wait, I almost forgot to tell you all something. We bought our "big" Xmas gift yesterday. We have been wanting a home alarm system since we moved in. We have been going back and forth between a couple of brands and when I got home there was an ad from SimpliSafe in the mail for 25% off. I decided to look yesterday and they had 40% going on plus a free camera. We sat down and put together a system. We got $900 worth of equipment for $500. So we will now be covered. 3 motion detectors, 2 cameras, video doorbell, multiple window and door modules, keychain FOBs, and glass break detectors. Plus 24/7 monitoring and recording. I am very excited about this. It should be here this week and then I need to debate if I wrap it or the empty boxes. We shall see.
