Long Week

Happy Leap Day - and what did you all do with your extra day this year? Me I sat in an airport for 3/4 of the day. What a week people! I am finally home from the whirlwind travel week of 4 visits in 4 different cities. Today had to be the longest day. I woke around 5 a.m to catch my 8 a.m flight to Detroit. Of course I didn't print my ticket the night before (because I didn't actually start getting ready for bed until 11pm). Sure as s*** every single kiosk was broken. I had to stand in line to check in for the first time in over a year. At least the stressed agent moved my seat up a couple of rows. Then I show up in Detroit and what do you know it's snowing which isn't so bad but Hertz tried to give me a Ford Mustang. Ha ha so not happening. Why do they even have Mustang's available in Michigan in winter anyways? Luckily there were some 4 wheel drive vehicles on the lot for a small upgrade fee. Then I drove over an hour each way for a 40 minute face-to-face visit. Sat in the airport and instead of being healthy I treated myself to a margarita and tacos. Finally arrived back home at 7pm. But I'm finally home with no foreseeable travel in the near future. But there is always the chance of last minute trips. But maybe I'll get lucky and can get back to running (this is a running blog I swear) and life in general. I'm looking forward to getting it done this weekend - 50 degrees on Sunday! Then back to 30 Monday. But I'll take it no matter how brief right now.

Oh and the family wedding drama begins. But I'll have to save that entertainment for another night. Plus I am sure it will escalate and make an even better story. But to give you some background...My mom passed away 4 1/2 years ago. My dad re-married last May. My sister doesn't like the "step mom". It goes a lot deeper but I'm not willing to go into all the dirty details. Anyways I wasn't a huge fan of the situation and I wasn't always sure of her intentions but she makes him happy and I have to deal with it the best a grown child can so I put on a happy face and deal. It's not that bad just uncomfortable at times. Anyways there is a lot of opportunity for new family drama when trying to plan wedding events! yeah!

Seriously, Mustang in the winter, pretty much anywhere?!?!

I hear you on the over-travelled, under-run phenomenon. Maybe we should start a new company that does nothing but let its employees run! How do we get paid for that?
