Well, *this* part could've gone better

My 23:10 flight to DC has now become my 01:15 flight to DC for some weather-related reason, apparently. (My sources near Dulles, however, say "Buh? It's been really nice today, it's not raining.") My driving today has been for crap, and I've pulled a couple boneheaded manuevers that could've caused damage to my rental car and/or someone else, thanks to sleep dep; fortunately everyone escaped unscathed, but not through any effort of my own. I had spicy food for dinner, I'm out of antacids, and everything in the entire airport is closed. To quote Beavis and/or Butthead: "This sucks!" I also got the super-special-security-screening, complete with patdown and swabs of every piece of carryon luggage I had. Yay. Good thing I showed up way early.

On the brighter side: I had a really good couple of days, I failed to fall asleep and drown in the hot tub this afternoon, there was a tasty Ethiopian dinner tonight with [livejournal.com profile] brian1789, [livejournal.com profile] patgreene, [livejournal.com profile] cyan_blue, and S. and K., and now I'm headed home (eventually, I hope) to my sweetie and my cat and my very own bed.

Sigh... hope that you board soon, and have an uneventful flight. It was lovely seeing you out here this week, as well as dinner tonight. :)

And the first driving incident I attribute to the three teenaged boys in the back, trying to give you directions simultaneously with talking on their phones and to each other...

Hope you arrive home safely. It was really nice having dinner with you tonight.

Urgh. I have felt your pain. Often enough that after a while, I quit taking red-eyes home from California for a few years whenever I could avoid it. Hope you got home safe and are able to rest.
