It’s been more than a month since my last post. Sorry about that. It’s been hectic lately. Getting promoted tends to do that. 🙂
Last week, though, was even crazier than usual. Here’s a rundown:
A week ago Saturday: wake up to the news that Scott’s grandmother had died. Cancel all plans for next few days, book flights, get emergency petsitting in gear, frantic packing. 6 hours later, on a plane to NYC. (NB: flying United is just no fun when compared to Virgin America or even JetBlue.)
Sunday & Monday: Long Island / Brooklyn. Lots of time with the in-laws, the funeral, sitting shiva.
Tuesday: Bid farewell to the in-laws, head into Manhattan for a fast visit and lunch with my mother. Then book it back out to JFK for a flight to Dulles. (NB: the JetBlue terminal at JFK is really nice.)
Wednesday – Friday: Attend CF United, meet with as many community people as possible, spend time in the Adobe booth handing out t-shirts, participate in the Community / User Group BoF, talk, talk, and talk some more. Exhausting, but had a fantastic time. The CF community rocks and the venue was excellent.
Friday: fly home (United still thoroughly uninspiring). Walk off airplane with a massive head cold and a 102-degree fever. Stagger home, climb into bed. Stay there.
Saturday & Sunday: head cold hell. Sleep a lot, load up on drugs, pray for fever to break.
Sunday night: finally starting to feel human again. Still have not unpacked from the trip (wrote this blog post instead).
Hopefully next week will be a little calmer.
