Sleep

...was decidedly lacking yesterday. Obviously, you know that that BoSox won, and since I was in Boston, we decided to take part in the riots^H^H^H^H^Hparty. It was pretty cool where we were. The Goo Goo Dolls even stopped at one point to ask the score, as they were playing the same time the game was on ( and competing for attention! ).

Long story short, we ended up staying out until stupid late. Not drinking or anything at this point, as I knew I had to be up early the next day. I got back to the hotel and to bed at about 2am. At 3:30 the alarm went off, and the wakeup call came. It was time to getup to go to the airport. I hit the shower, finished packing, and was checked out in time to catch a 4am shuttle ride back to the airport.

6am flight was pretty empty, so I had a couple seats to myself in my row, which was good. I stretched out, fell back asleep, and woke up as we were touching down in Chicago. Met up with my co-worker who was at the show with me, but flew back on a different airline ( he's got AA miles, mine are on United ). We had a brief spat of panic when he thought he'd lost his car keys, but finally found them, and made it back to the office about the time I normally get in, 8:30. Urgh.

I ended up working the whole day. Finally made it home, took the dog for a short little walk, made a quick sandwich for dinner, and then headed off to bed after a nice hot shower. I ended up missing the Cardinals winning, and some other things, but I got about 12 hours of sleep, which was sorely needed.

Woke up this morning feeling very refreshed ( gee, I wonder why? ). I'm going to have to add Boston to my list of places to go back and visit. There's something about seeing old buildings and just feeling a sense of history in the place that I really like. That's part of what I've really liked about visiting Europe as well. It kind of makes me feel a little humbled to be in a building that was put up hundreds of years ago.

|t's been a crazy week. Thankfully, it is over, and I get to relax a bit this weekend. Right now though, it's off to the gym for some weights and a swim.
