Rambling about Quick Trip

So flying on the heels of a nor’easter is not the brightest thing ever. However my flight Monday night was smooth and relatively on time (only half an hour late). The landing in Providence was a little startling (it felt like we’d hit something head on) but otherwise uneventful. I had switched my flight to an a later flight that wasn’t running late and that turned out to be smart. Even with the small delay, the 8:20 flight still left well before the 5:55. I got to my hotel much later than I prefer but sleep happened and all that.
I got quite a bit done in the office this week even though I was only there for 2 days. The meeting I was in yesterday afternoon wrapped up neatly and early. People I’d never met before gave perfect feedback on the process. (Perfect as in just the right thing to say to improve it in ways I see need improving as opposed to saying the process is perfect.) I made new, exciting contacts. I made crazy impressions on people, but in a good way. I want to document our reports in a fun and useful way. The fact that I’m excited to do this boggles people’s minds. The fact is that I really am all about user education and it would be fun and easy for me to create a quick and easy presentation that project managers could use to figure out what reports are actually most important and how to use those reports. Okay, maybe that does make me crazy, but I’m here to help.
The flight home last night was also boring. I napped. Napping is never a good idea for me, honeslty. I end up more tired and silly than I started. But there was no avoiding the nap and it was lovely. When I got home I downed 2 liters of water and a bit of pizza for dinner. Gee, do you think maybe I need to work on my water intake while traveling?
It’s still raining on and off like the nor’easter is trailing a ragged train of rain clouds behind it. It’s been gray for so long I’d really like to see some sun this weekend. Handily the forecasts wish to help me with that desire.
So I really have no content of merit today. My cat has taken to hiding under the blankets on the bed. Evil Cat continues to hiss at him whether he deserves it or not. I don’t think either of these cats understands what hissing really is. Crazy cats.
The photo is of a cherry tree (I think) in the graveyard. I love its twisted old trunk and fresh, new branches getting ready to bloom.
