That's been my life for two days. In the back of my mind I kept thinking "oh great, here I go back to square one, tight hamstrings, no stamina, no strength." I was hit hard with the flu thing again. Pretty much everyone I've known who has had it, gets it once then gets it again. I, apparently, was no exception. Unfortunately, that big software giant doesn't sleep and our botched deployment from this past week was scheduled for this Sunday night ... at midnight.

Thankfully, though I was up til 3am deploying, this time it deployed and things went well. I would have been able to sleep in but at 5:20, for the second time in a week, the power went out for like 4,000 users in San Diego County and The Daughter got up freaking out that she couldn't get the light on which woke up the rest of the household which made me realize I had left my computer on monitoring part of the deployment and, yes, I lost my Internet connection and my phone. Fortunately, I was logged into a remote desktop and so there was no impact on the actual work, just my ability to check in and get status. So I went back to sleep. :O

I finally started functioning around noon when I met PunkAssBitch to have her do some sad work for me while I'm gone. Sad because I'm really not happy about it at all but it's something I have to get done for now and we'll see where the future brings me. :( :( :( :( One of the sacrifices I'm trying to make in an effort to keep my life somewhat balanced and normal for my kids in the light of my personal existential crisis (sorry, LC, I had to use it but you know I'm kidding) and my crazy work schedule.

No yoga, my arms feel like weightless dead weights if that makes sense. The cough sucks but I am feeling better. I fly tomorrow so I'm hoping maybe I could make one practice tomorrow before I get on out of the beautiful gorgeous sunshine and up to the freezing cold where I hear it, gasp, snowed a couple days ago. On this trip I'm going to a wedding where the wedding is literally at the top of a chair lift at a ski resort - outdoors. What does one wear to a wedding like this (and, more importantly, how does one get down!). After the wedding the kids are flying in for a week in the freezing cold. Why they are looking forward to it, I'm not sure :) The novelty wears off really quickly.

Seattlites- I'm looking for one really cool thing to do... some cool restaurant or show or excursion we can take. We're planning the science center and the aquarium but I wanted something pretty cool. I really wanted to do Tillicum Village but it is only open on weekends :(
