Three days, three states
Aug. 13th, 2008 10:12 amMonday morning I woke up in Utah, having stayed the night at my in-laws' house... we flew home and got to our place about 7:30 and I had one blissful night of sleeping in my own bed. Plus about half an hour of playing fetch with Numfar (yes, she's a cat, but she LOVES to play fetch) before I finally got ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rackham to take over for a bit so I could get other things done. A few rushed loads of laundry and some quick unpacking and packing, and that's about it.
Tuesday morning, I woke up in my own bed in Washington state... and, thirteen hours after getting home from the last trip, headed down to the airport. Again. Not much to say about Tuesday, since it was filled with a lot of time sitting on airplanes. Although say what you will about Southwest, I have NEVER had them take over 45 minutes to get all the passengers on board a plane, which is exactly what happened on my USAirways flight out of Seattle. It was a mess. The one bright side is that I ended up not having to pay to check a bag, after all... since I'd purchased my ticket before the policy change what into effect. Yay!
So, I watched four more episodes of Doctor Who, getting me even closer to being caught up. Don't anyone dare spoil me for the finale... I still can't believe I've managed to avoid spoilers so far, and I've only got a few more episodes left to go! I must say, though, that the folks running DW sure know how to do horror/suspense. ( I *loved* 'Silence in the Library' and 'Forest of the Dead' )
Due to the excessively long time it took to get everyone settled on the plane, we left Seattle a bit late which pushed back our arrival time in Charlotte. So, now I can say I've spent about half an hour in the Charlotte airport. Some if it sitting on the plane letting the people who had connecting flights in less than 10 minutes go sprinting down the aisle and then doing some sprinting, myself, since that's a very spread out airport. I got to the gate 25 minutes before we were scheduled to take off, called Rackham to let him know where I was and right about then they started boarding our flight. I hate cutting things so close.
I also managed to get in a bit of reading... finally starting in on Three Days to Never by Tim Powers, which is really nothing like what I was expecting but has really got me hooked.
And now, Wednesday morning I wake up in Kentucky, atnmissi's house. I went for a nice 40 minute walk this morning... got to see a lot of different flora and fauna (it's always a bit startling to see a flash of red flutter by... Cardinals are about as common here as Steller's Jays (which provide a nice flash of bright blue) are back home). And now I'm waiting for Enterprise to show up to take me to my rental car.
And tomorrow... JadeCon!!!
