I have been trying to get home from Richmond since Thursday. Finally on a connecting flight through Philly, so I got up at 4:30 for the privilege of having a cheese steak for breakfast. Hopefully flights to DFW are actually landing today.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yikes, Dana. Sending travel vibes your way.

I have grown older, but not up.

PHL --> DFW

Looks like the worst weather in Dallas is this evening, so we'll hopefully beat it. I seriously cannot spend another day fighting this. I was lucky enough to be staying with friends who put me up Thursday-Saturday. Yesterday's flight was canceled as we were standing in the jetway because the plane was leaking fuel. We couldn't get rescheduled yesterday. I'm out of meds, I'm having to reschedule work meetings, and I miss my pillow.

I had family in town and took off Friday. Lots of walking Friday - Sunday. I could have slept in until probably noon, alas have to work.
Getting focused is a challenge. Might take a nap for lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh my god, Dana, what a nightmare. Good luck!!
I have not yet recovered from my Friday working at alumni day, since I had too many items this weekend, but at least I have a quiet day at work.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I ended up reading most of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance while cat sitting - kitty demanded company while eating and liked petting and cuddles. I ended up reading most of Ayn Rand in my 'teens.
For book recommendations, how about The Kaiju Preservation Society. It's fairly light, as such things go and I enjoyed it a lot.
I am currently all alone in the office ... the main downside is that every five to seven minutes, the lights go out and I have to scoot away from my desk to wave my hands in the air to get them back on. Seemingly, it's something I have to live with.

Toddson that sounds annoying but maybe it’s a new alternative to a treadmill desk, forcing you to move? :)
Dana that sounds awful. Good grief.

I was leading a meeting Saturday morning (see above) and after an hour, someone's phone went off with an alarm that he should stand up and stretch. So I had us all stand up and stretch! It was a good idea. 5-7 minutes is far too often for that, though!
