what a week

wow... it's been one busy week for me... traveling for work wasn't so bad... one day the meeting was 13 hours long... but we got a lot accomplished... and the next day's meeting wasn't terrible either... all in all the work part of the trip was successful...

the last night in jacksonville, we ate at Joe's Crab Shack... i ordered the one chicken dish on the menu and the next morning it made me terribly sick... i wasn't sure if i should fly being as sick as i was, but i thought, what the heck, it's only about an hour and a half flight, i can make it that long... well, i almost made it... with all the pressure changing on the decent into DC, that was all my poor stomach could handle... let me just say, those bags hold up well... i felt really bad for the lady next to me, and just kept apologizing to her... she said "honey, i've raised 2 kids, this is nothing." she was so nice... i made it back to work, and the boss sent me home... good thing too... i just needed to lay down and rest, and be able to sleep this sickness off... through the evening i started feeling a little better, and this morning i feel pretty good... still not good enough to eat, but at least i can walk around without feeling yucky...

also on my last night in jax, i got a call from my mom... my poppaw passed away... so i'm going home for the weekend for all the arrangements and such... i wouldn't make it back to DC till late monday, and was going to go back to SWVA on wed... so i arranged it with the boss to just take tues as a vacation day and i'll be home through thanksgiving... *sigh* not quite the reason i'd want to take a long vacation but it beats driving so much...

guess i better get back to packing if i want to make it out of here by noon...
