The meetings are done and my trip is wrapping up

The meetings are done and my trip is wrapping up. It's just Dave Mehl and I left, sitting in an empty conference room until it's time to go to the airport. We'll probably go to the main hospital to take a look, get some dinner, and then wait for the plane to arrive. Then it's a two and a half hour wait in Seattle and we pull into Eugene at midnight.

Hopefully my car will start.

The plane touched down in Bellingham less than an hour ago. I'm sitting in a Best Western, having figured out how to hook up the wireless network adapter and connect to the Internet. It's very weird as I'm not a regular business traveler. I can hear the cars on the interstate driving by. The room itself is decorated in the faux fancy style.

The trip went fairly well, especially as four of my coworkers went with me. We joked with each other and admired the sights. In a few moments I'll be off to a nearby Mexican place.

I still miss my family. I got to talk to Emma on the phone, who's being watched by Dave and Kirsten while Jamie takes Sam to his T-Ball game. It's going to be a big and lonely king sized bed for me tonight.



I finally got some sleep last night

I finally got some sleep last night. I started zoning out around nine, finally collapsing a bit later. I had made up a bed in the basement as Jamie's dad is in the bed room and I didn't want to wake Jamie up with my coughing.

Sure enough, I did cough a fair amount for the first half of the night. I also woke up when my inflatable mattress mostly deflated, switching my bedding over to pillows from the couch.

I awoke nearly ten hours later, something I almost never do. I don't think I've coughed once so far today.



I'm beat

I'm beat. I spent most of last night coughing. I'd try to go to sleep, cough myself awake, then go downstairs to watch an episode of Wonderfalls. It's a funny, quirky show, especially when taking cough syrup and exhausted from lack of sleep. Around 1:30 am I collapsed and mostly stayed asleep until 5:30 am or so.

Somehow I'm keeping it together today.
