Back to boredom yesterday. Nothing as exciting as people with guns. No, just a room full of students, a few of whom are a real pain in my ass. Older women who think they know everything. I have a feeling this group is not going to give me good feedback. There are just some people who rub against my personality and there's 3 of them in this class.
Got onsite at 7. My contact? Late. She shows up at 7:30. The room is awful. It's not a training room. I can't work in a conference room. It was too hot, insufficient power, bad layout, etc. From here on out, we need to send an 'onsite training checklist'. I just added a task to my list to do this on Friday. That would save me so much time. There are 12 students in this class and only 3 showed up on time. That pisses me off. Which of course meant I started class upset. The remaining 9 trickled in between 8 and 8:30. That's total bullshit as far as I am concerned.
Finally started and got through the day. We finished right around 4 miraculously. Headed back to the hotel and power watched Rookie Blue until 6 when I walked over to Wing Stop. Brought that back and continued watching until 9:30 when I decided to go to bed.
Did talk to B in there. She is not having a good time. Her family's arguments are getting to her as they keep trying to drag her into them and pick a side which she refuses to do.
Today and tomorrow then I can be home tomorrow night. It can't come soon enough.

I had one of the biggest scares of my life yesterday. One of those moments that every parent dreads. I was in the hotel around 3:30 when the kid pings me on Hangout. There was a guy with a gun on campus. My heart stopped. She was locked in a classroom one building over. I told her we were not getting off that chat until I knew she was 100% safe. I knew she was a little freaked out too so we chatted about inane things - Disneyland at the end of January, Christmas presents I found for KBF at the mall earlier. While we were talking I was reading everything I could on what was going on. At 3:22 there was a report of a guy with a gun. No shots, no nothing. Someone just saw someone with a gun. At 4:30 they gave an all clear and she headed to her car. I told her she was staying with me in chat until I knew she was in her car on the way home. Talk about the longest hour of my life. Fucking people with guns. Why can't we have better control? Why can't people not be idiots? Ugh.
I am at the hotel, yes. I got up, changed the sheets, cleaned the litter boxes, took out garbage, and watched Rookie Blue. I am through Season 3. I really like this damn show. I didn't want to leave too early and I think I did okay. I left at 10:30 and went to a mall near here. I wanted to pick up a couple of small things to balance out the present numbers. I ended up finding me a t-shirt, some boots, a book, and one of those puzzle keeper things. I got B a calendar, KBF a Hickory Farms thing, and a board game for some friends. A productive trip.
Got to the hotel around 2:45, checked in, and then well, you know what happened from 3:30 - 4:30.
Around 5:30 I headed over to CVS to get some stuff, then dinner at Chili's. After dinner I had to go to FedEx to get the manuals for tomorrow. Unfortunately they weren't ready and I made a scene. I stood up for myself for once and told the person that I would be back right before close. Went back to the hotel, watched more rookie blue, and at 8:30 walked over. I stopped for yogurt next door to give them some more time and at 8:47 they finished up my manuals.
Came back, got ready for bed, and crawled into bed around 10.
Day one of three about to start.

Did so much nothing yesterday but man was it good. Left here at 2:30 as planned, got to the airport at 3:34. Unfortunately the ticket counter doesn't open until 4 but as both B and I agree, better to be early than late. At the same time, this made for a very long and frustrating day for B. She had a horrible travel day and she doesn't handle it well because unlike me who has more options available, she ended up getting kind of screwed all day.
I dropped her off and it seemed things were okay. I went and met friends to drop off the house keys and have some food. Left them and was back home around 5:30. I decided to take a little nap. At 6:15 my phone rings - B's flight is being deplaned due to a defective light. She is freaking out telling me to change her second flight. I am not awake and not comprehending what is happening. This of course makes her more upset. I tell her there is nothing I can do because the ticket is in her name and she has to do it once she gets off the plane. By now I am awake and understanding. This doesn't make her happy at all and she basically hangs up on me. I hear from her about an hour later telling me she has a new 8:15am flight to Dallas but then a five hour layover until MI. See, there's the difference between me and her. I would have pushed for an earlier flight AND I would have been hopping standby on every flight I could. If she tried that they would charge her. She ends up getting to DFW and then has to sit for not just five, but seven hours due to a delay. When that first flight of the day is off, every flight thereafter gets screwed. Needless to say, not happy on her end.
On mine, I managed to fall back to sleep until 7:30. A whopping two hours of sleep. Yay me. Did my morning stuff, then steeled in to catch up on Rookie Blue. While I was watching I got a nice email from the hotel letting me pre-check and select the room I wanted. Nice. When I get there today I will already know where I am going. I ended up watching 9 episodes yesterday. Damn. But I also packed, cleaned the fridge, dealt with the cat having an accident, vacuumed, did all the dishes, organized files, and took out garbage. While watching 9 episodes. Oh something really cool happened yesterday. I got a Sunday delivery from Amazon Fulfillment Services. Add to that list, wrap presents. Around 9 I came in here, played a little Diablo. Mostly because it wasn't until almost 12:30 EST that I finally heard from B. She didn't get in until 11:30, needed to arrange transportation, and finally had gotten somewhere. She was going to chit chat for a while then bed. I went to bed around 10:30 myself.
Today I am off to the client. Leaving here around 10:30 because I want to do a little Christmas shopping at the mall. It's about a 90 minute drive to the client with no traffic so this way I will get there around noon. Do a little shopping, head to the hotel, settle in for the night. Be back home Thursday.

12:30am so technically it's Sunday. We are leaving in 2 hours to take B to the airport. She is off for her ten days of Christmas fun in MI. Whee. Me, I leave Monday for a client in Sacramento then back on Thursday. Whee.
It was an okay day. Mostly we rested and got things wrapped up before we both leave. A little Mexican for lunch, some last minute errands like cat food, wrapped some presents, watched a little TV, had pizza for dinner, then B went to bed around 8. I slept from 12-4 so I am okay for now. I can come back home and sleep after dropping her off. I have to stop by my friend's house on the way home to drop off keys, but should be back home by like 7.
I did deal with one issue and that's the cat pissing all over the floor. She is getting worse at making the box. I know she is starting to decline but how do you have that conversation with a vet? Yes, please put my old ass cat to sleep. Not sure how to approach the subject without looking like an evil asshole.
Sigh.
Time to shower and get out of here.

Have to watch the clock. Need to check B in for her flight in 48 minutes. Yes, that's why I am up so damn early on a Saturday. I really would prefer to be asleep to be honest but whatever. I have never been able to sleep late even as a kid. Always felt like I was wasting the day.
Once B told me we would never have sex every night because she needs to time to recoup but every other night would be acceptable. Well this week we have proven that theory. Yes, last night too. Seriously, M-W-F. I am not complaining mind you, just the opposite. It's always a wonderful way to end the day.
Speaking of the day, finished up my class. We went over on time and didn't finish up until 3:11. That's what happens when you have a big class who wants to ask a lot of questions. After class I don't even remember what I did. I didn't nap, I know that. I think I worked on updating media files. On that topic, in the morning I placed the final Amazon Xmas order. On there is a new 5tb drive for me. Once that arrives Santa may open it early. Put movies on one, TV on the second, music and pictures on the 3tb. I am ready for 10tb drives please. God just the concept of a 5tb is crazy to me. I truly do remember dealing 20mb and 30mb drives. Huge drives with special adaptor cards. God, I remember dealing with cards. If there's one thing I do love about these damn Macs is I don't have to crack them open and swap out video cards or HDD cards. Around 5 we went out for dinner at our favorite Italian place. On the way back home we stopped at the Smoke Shop where I got B a baby hookah for Xmas, a new tank for the vaporizer for me, (day 70 today btw without a cigarette), then we stopped at CVS for some hair dye. I have switched to a new color that B really likes and I will agree looks extremely natural on me. "Natural Dark Neutral Blonde". Yeah I know. Dumbest name ever. They had a sale on 2 boxes so now there's one under the tree. God I love Christmas. There's 7 individually wrapped bottles of Vernor's Gingerale under the tree because I am a dork and idiot.
Did my hair while B finished reorganizing her music library for her trip. All done we headed off to the other room around 9:30 and next thing you know it's 11. I fell asleep. I have no clue what time she fell asleep. I wish she would get her clock readjusted to normal people time but whatever. She is gone for 10 days starting in less than 24 hours and I plan on enjoying the time and not making minor grumbles.
You know, I don't say this enough, but goddamn she makes me fucking happy. Not just the sex - it's everything. She is affectionate, caring, a pain in the ass, and perfect for me. We were talking about it last night; neither one of us is romanticizing being married. None of that 'on our best behavior' bullshit. We grumble, we moan, we share, we laugh. I have waited all my life for this kind of relationship. One that fits me like an old shoe, but challenges me at the same time. Keeps me young while keeping me grounded. We all deserve a relationship like this. May all of you find yours if you haven't and if you have, hold them fucking tight.

Been up for a little while but had to pay bills. Didn't get an email about my cable bill but luckily it's on my list of monthly bills. When we moved they changed our payment date which has been messing with me. I was 4 days late but I paid last month and this month at the same time so there shouldn't be any issues. This is the second account I have been having a problem with getting bills by email. I haven't received a Verizon bill in months. But since I keep my own list I haven't missed anything. The cable one I missed because they changed the damn dates. Sigh. It's all fixed now.
Taught all day. Rough day. Day 2 of this particular 3 day class is the roughest. It's a lot of information in one day. We finished around 2:30 and I had a bit of a headache going on and decided to sleep. Plus B was in pre-travel cleaning mode and I just wanted to stay the heck out of her way. I know she is going out of town and will be gone 10 days, but I will only be gone 3 of those so it's not like I won't be home to clean. Regardless, I understand where she is coming from and it was safer to just go in the other room and be out of the way. I slept until 4 and then we went out to get her some stuff on her list for travel. That included new underwear, a new makeup bag, and some vitamins. After all that and braving the idiots out there shopping, we grabbed some Taco Bell for dinner. Worst experience ever. Bad service. They tried to overcharge me by $10 and I had to pull out a calculator to show them why they were wrong.
Got home, played some Diablo with a friend (yes, I multi-played, amazing) and went off to bed. B was in final stages of packing and again it was safer for me to be in the other room. It was about 10:30 when I went off. I have no idea what time she came to bed.
Last day of teaching, weekend, travel on Monday. Travel on Sunday for her. This end of day can't come soon enough.

Woo! More sex! I think B just wants to fit in as much as possible before she heads off to MI on Sunday. No complaints here.
Christmas presents started arriving yesterday. I was pretty impressed at that fact. I mean two day shipping? Damn. I am about to place the second round tomorrow. They will have 19 days to get here which hopefully shouldn't be a problem. The bulk gets here starting tomorrow through next week. The remaining stuff is just some smaller stuff and something I actually need - the new hard drive.
Taught all day, took a little nap after class, made dinner, watched Psych, wrapped presents, had the sex, fell asleep.
Amazing how you can sum up an entire day in a single sentence. I mean sure, there's lots of little things that happened yesterday like the one student who is a pain in the ass. Or B's mother texting her to see if she is going to help clean out the old house while she is there. (The answer is fuck you.) But in reality, that sentence? That's what went down yesterday.
Life is okay and summing it up isn't a problem.

I hate being stressed out upon waking up. The trend is the cat when that happens typically and this morning is no exception. Woke up to a note from B that the fucking cat missed the litter box again. I did a bunch of research yesterday on elderly cats and how many of them are suffering long before it shows because cats, like men, are stubborn fucks and don't show it until it's so bad they have to show it. Which means this cat really could have been in pain and dementia even longer and she has just managed to hide it. I am considering euthanasia for her, but I feel like I will be judged if I take her into a vet. But I know my cat. After a lifetime together I *KNOW* her better than some vet. She is not happy.
Spent yesterday on conference calls. Hours long calls. One with a university and the other with my client in Reno. Upside? Both calls resulted in confirmed gigs for January and February. Starting to line things up in 2015 already. That's the plus.
Paid rent. Did laundry. Helped B pack. Power watched a ton of Rookie Blue. Booked my trip (finally!) for next week. I will be gone M-Th. Of course that's when all of the fucking presents are arriving. Luckily our friends can stay here it looks like without it being a problem.
Went to bed around 11, B around 2 it would seem. That's what time her note said.
Teaching the next three days. Then it's time to get B ready to go on Sunday. Truth be told, I am looking forward to time alone at home. Yes, I will also be on the road a few of those days, but I also get six days at home by myself. I need them.

Way too little sleep but worth it. B and I finally had enough energy for sex. Yay! Neither of us have been up to it, then me being gone, then her period, it's been a long stretch. But we finally made some time last night and boy was it nice. The day was spent mostly driving followed by sitting and waiting. Since I had nothing major on the calendar yesterday we decided to use the day to go to the Social Security office and change B's name. Have you ever spent a day at SSA? No fun. Especially when you have to drive out there twice.
I get up, do my morning stuff, answer some emails, prep for some work for today, and then I order Xmas. Yes, all of it. I had all my gift cards come through so I took care of all my Amazon orders. I spent way too much even with the gift cards, but everyone will be happy. I have a second set coming this week so there will be a second Amazon order on Friday, but much smaller and almost nothing out of pocket. But between those two orders, Xmas is done. 40+ presents for me, B, the kid, B's sisters, three couples, and one friend.
Around 10:30 we head. SSA is about 30 minutes away with no traffic. No problem. We get out there only to realize B forgot all of her papers. I decided we were going to go back out there today after my meetings so we had some lunch, went to TJ Maxx for B to get a couple of tops for her trip. We did good. She spent like $40 but got 2 pairs of leggings and 2 tops. Not bad.
On the drive back I got some emails which blocked out my afternoon for today. Originally I only had meetings until noon. This meant yesterday was our only day for SSA. Who is only open from 9-3 and oh look, it's 12:45. Shit. Get the papers, back on the road. Things are okay until about 1 mile away when we witness a semi accident. One smacked into another. We were right near the front and it was scary as shit but we got through with no issue just about a 10 minute delay.
Check in to SSA at 1:35 and sit. And sit. And sit. Finally at about 2:40 they call us, takes 5 minutes, done. We get back home around 3:30. I go do some work, B decides she wants to wax. Okay. Around 4:30 I start dinner. Made a nice pork loin rubbed in oil and garlic. After dinner B goes and finishes her waxing. I putz around on the internet debating whether to buy something off Good Old Games. They have all the original Leisure Suit Larry games for $10. I may crack today.
Around 7:30 she finishes up and comes in to show me her handiwork. Fast forward to 9. We are both happy but not tired. We sit on the couch with ice cream and cuddling watching Rookie Blue until midnight.
Nice way to end a long day and my work break. Today I have mentoring sessions from 9-11 and then 12-4 so it will be a long day. Then tomorrow through Friday I teach. Whee.

Y6 D189
Yesterday was okay. My neck is finally feeling a little better. We made a decision yesterday to send B back to MI for some time in December. Since we don't have to go back in May now, we used some of the miles I have been stockpiling. She will be going 12/7 - 12/17. She is excited about it. After we did all that she started to figure out what she needs to bring and realized she is no longer used to living in snow and had to rethink everything she normally wears. That meant a trip out. Sigh. We went to the nearest Old Navy to get her jeans. That's 20 miles away. Old Navy, Ross, and $100 later she had what she needed.
Came back home and she watched TV while I played games. I got super tired around 9:30 and went and laid down. Next thing I know she is waking me up and I honestly don't know what time it is.
That was my exciting Sunday.
