On the Road Again ...

texchanThe title says it all. I got home from Texas, stayed home for a day, and, then, was off again. To Cleveland, this time, for a new partners' meeting conducted by my hubby's firm. It's kind of a two-day orientation thing for the new partners -- to help them figure out tax issues, marketing stuff, firm culture, etc. The upside is that we get to stay in a nice hotel (Ritz-Carlton) and have good meals on the firm's tab. The down side is that we are in Cleveland in January, so it's dang cold and very windy. Also, there are dinners to attend, etc ... which, to me, are a huge down side, as I'm shy and hate those kinds of functions. It's been snowing, though, which is great. (Yes, I'm weird; I love snow. =P)
Today is our last day here. We have an outing to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum and another dinner this evening. Then, tomorrow, we head home. My hubby has to leave again the very next day for a business trip to Minneapolis, but, luckily, I get to stay home. I thought about going with him, but decided against it. I'm tired, and I just want to be home ... with my kiddo and my dog and cat ... and sleeping in my own bed. Needless to say, I don't travel very well. *nervous laugh*
At the moment, I'm tired and not feeling well. My sinuses are kicking into overtime, which is weird -- you would think the snow and cold weather would have frozen everything that could trigger my allergies, but not so much. I believe someone in a room above us was smoking last night. I could smell it coming through the vent in our bathroom, and that could be what has triggered the sinuses from hell today. I'm horribly, horribly allergic to smoke. I was hoping to get some writing done today, since I had a free morning. I'm not sure if that's going to work out, though, considering how all-around icky I feel. Perhaps, I still can do a bit. Or, maybe I'll curl up in bed and go back to sleep ... or watch some anime. Hmmm ... decisions, decisions.
The only draw-back about returning home is that I will have to face down my computer woes. I'm still not sure exactly what is going on with my desktop. I hope my hubby and I, between the two of us, can figure it out, though, because I love my computer. I also hope I don't have to strip everything off and re-install it all -- because that will be a pain in the hoo-hah. Thankfully, all my files were backed up just recently. *lucky break*
Oh, and another drawback about returning home -- I have new cels waiting for me. Lots of new cels (for me, anyhow). Which is great, although it means scanning and updating. Even the scanning and updating is not so bad, but my parents are staying with us for a bit ... and I know my mom isn't going to let me anywhere near the computer for any length of time. She already had me consigned to housecleaning hell for the one day I was home in between the Texas trip and this Cleveland trip. I'm sure it'll be more of the same ... times a billion ... when I return home. Bleh.
