Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

So I napped yesterday, not for long, just 4 hours, from 4pm til 8pm. And I went to bed all sleepy and ready for a good night's sleep at midnight. And woke up at 2am. And 3am. And 4am. And, for good, at 5am.

Argle.

I am so fried, it's not funny. I just phoned in to work and left a message saying I couldn't make it in today. I know I'm gonna crash hard in the next couple of hours. Damn. Hopefully they'll let me make up the time tomorrow or Thursday or something.

If not, well tough shit, I'll lose a day. That was always going to be the risk. In fact, I originally planned to have today off. Shoulda gone with that to start off with.

On the plus side, I have 3 days of holiday pay I can claim from the agency which will help the shortfall this week.

Sod it, the holiday was worth it :D

Travel day from heck today - leave for Dulles this morning, where at 2.52pm I'll catch a flight to Chicago, scheduled to arrive around 4pm. At 8.20pm, my international flight takes off for Heathrow, landing at 10am Sunday morning, local time. And then I have to drive home, via a garage and Tesco's.

I may not be coherent Sunday evening...

See you all then!

Had an absolutely fabulous time in Chicago! The city is stunning, the weather was fantastic and Bounchercon was a blast. *does the Happy Mitchy Boogie*

And guess what? The pub next door to the hotel in Chicago served cider. *contented Mitchy beam*

I am now at my friend Jana's in D.C., along with jenni411, and we're getting geared up for a hectic schedule of food, booze, shopping, baseball and Stuff(tm). Oh and when we go to Baltimore tomorrow we may end up having drinks with a famous author! Woo hoo! *boogies harder*

I'm having a good time :D
