So on Saturday morning, I had to drive my sister in law to the airport in Indianapolis… at four in the morning. It sucks really, because we’re about 30 minutes away from the Fort Wayne airport, but flying out of there always seems to add a good couple hundred bucks to your ticket – so we mainly fly out of Indy.
I only got about three hours’ sleep beforehand, between helping out customers and being glued to Assassin’s Creed – so I drag myself out of bed, chug down some coffee and set about the trip. On the way back we stopped in at McDonalds, which is never as good an idea as it sounds before you get there. We then stopped in at Lowes to pick up some stuff for the house, before getting home.
I tried desperately to just stay up, but I couldn’t do it. I watched the entire presentation for Google Wave, got some ideas, and then promptly fell asleep at my desk, so I decided to take a nap.
After about two hours, Sabs dragged me out of bed. I was still mostly a zombie, so I sat and finished Assassin’s Creed then we decided it was time for bed. We both slept great, despite the usual midnight blanket arguments, and I woke up feeling most of the way refreshed.
The coffee machine didn’t brew correctly for some reason, so we decided to take our morning walk sans-canine and go pick some up from the gas station. I got a delicious Irish Creme with powdered chocolate that was only missing some whipped cream to be a perfect treat.
Fall is definitely come and almost gone, while today was a gorgeous “fall” day to go for a walk, I’m sure the nice weather won’t last. We’re going to try continue to walk even during the winter (as long as it’s not slick out), and of course we’ll probably go back to walking past treadmills at walmart every time we go shopping.
