jayfurr | I Have Joined The Walking Dead

Last night I drove from Denver up to Fort Collins to have dinner with an online friend of mine from a college football newsgroup. Everything went fine and we had a nice dinner. But coming back I hit road maintenance project after road maintenance project, over and over again. Apparently the state of Colorado only does roadwork at night, but they do it all at once, on every highway, so no matter which route I took I was stuck. It took me two hours to get back -- and it'd only taken me one hour outbound. Sigh.

I didn't get to bed until past 11 local time and since I've been getting up at 5:30 to check email, do some work on my laptop and stuff, have some breakfast, and so on, and so on, it was a short night. I probably only got five hours of real sleep, maybe not even that. I feel awful.

Fortunately, my flight home tomorrow doesn't leave until 8:57 am local time, so I don't have to get up at 3 to get to the airport. 5:00, sure, but not 3. If I go straight back to the hotel after class this afternoon, do most of my packing, and then get right to bed I'll probably feel human again by sometime this weekend... just in time to catch my Sunday flight to Oregon.

Sigh.
