Yikes, Dana. Sending travel vibes your way.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Hopefully flights to DFW are actually landing today.
PHL --> DFW
Flightaware shows the 5:00 a.m. flight was cancelled. The other two so far this morning are currently
en route

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.

So sorry for the travel delays.

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!

That's funny, Jesse -- I love that. Toddson, my boss at BoA a hundred years ago that that issue in her office... but it was light enough so that half the time, she'd just sit there in the dimness, and when I'd walk in, she'd be like, "Oh, thank you..." like I had just paid to get her electric turned back on. It was pretty funny.
Had a really fun reunion weekend this past weekend. (msbelle, I saw Dani briefly and got to share that and how you and I knew each other. We had the funniest exchange, which was basically, "We never really hung out in college, yet I've always been drawn to you!" "I know, me, too!" And hugs. It was good.)
Now for work. I also have a three-hour dentist appointment for a crown today. Blergh.
