Travel Day!
Left our pretty little rental house in CdA at around 8:30 this AM.... dropped Dan and Luis off at the airport... then made our way to Seattle, caught our flight back to Chicago, and finally arrived home around 11:50 PM. Lost 2 hours in the process, going from Pacific time to Central time... right now it's 12:56 AM (on Wednesday) and I just got my computer to work... It kept shutting down. I had to do another system restore. AAARRRGGGHHHH.
I've lifted Jess' photos off Facebook... I'm going to compile them with my photos and make a giant album. Anyone else got photos they want me to add? I'm off work tomorrow to do laundry and catch up on miscellaneous tasks...
The kitties are happy to see me. They were a bit pissed at first, but I suspect they've forgiven me by now.
One word to describe my CdA experience... Fun. I know that's a ridiculously overused adjective, but I can't think of anything else that would really work in a way that would be as all encompassing as good old F-U-N.
We had fun. Yes we did.
Monday - June 23
OMG. I'm tired. Yesterday was supposedly a recovery day. Notsomuch. 20 + hours of walking, screaming, jumping, laughing, crying, not eating or drinking (enough).... and then getting slimed by finishers for 3 hours.... I'm exhausted.
Shannon says she still likes me, though... so that's good. After spending every waking moment with me for almost an entire 24 hour period... We laughed so hard we cried. We cried so hard we laughed. We imitated Paula Newby Frasier. (Actually, we imitated Jeff imitating Paula Newby Frasier)... We pimped Jess out in the kissing booth. (Desiree Ficker looked like she was going to be a taker there for a minute...) We ate wraps, screamed lines from the POWER THIRST commercial, and drank enough coffee to energize an elephant. We were UNCOMFORTABLY ENERGETIC!!!
At the finish line I got to see Jeff (Q), Chris, Bonnie (Leopard), Cathy (COgirl), Dan (Crazypop), and my friend Scotty. What a cool experience.
The house seems empty now since Jess and Drew are gone. Crazypop is packing up, and Shannon leaves later today. Will just wind up being me and Chris and Luis and Jeff... then we all depart for home tomorrow.
Training for this week won't normalize til Wednesday. Sorry Brett. Then I'm back on the wagon. Promise.
