Today is our last day on this trip, a short week.  I am happy to be going home and happy that next week is a different kind of trip where I get to stay in the same hotel for more than a night

Also, I hate time zones  I messed up today and was about a half hour late because I didn’t realize I had set my phone to be auto changing.  Oh man, luckily they called me and I hurried up to get packed.

We are sitting in a room now waiting on people to start getting here.  This room is in a cafe so I got me some breakfast.  It was biscuit gravy, but not the best I have had

I am gonna eat now so I will get back with ya later

At the airport, only 5 hours early – no big deal  We just ate at a place called Shannon’s – some kind of baseball player here in St. Louis.  It was pretty good, next stop will be Baskin Robins for a milkshake!!!

I packed my sweater because it was so hot in the airport and now of course I am freezing so I may get a Cardinals sweater.  So be it.

Well since I don’t seem to get back to my blog on the same night I am going to go ahead and end this now.

Today we are going to have a 3 hour drive after the session.  But right now we are headed out to the office!

So this session has a lot of people and some of them have a lot of extra stuff so we aren’t getting out of here anytime soon

Finally in Mount Vernon!  We ended up finishing up at like 14:00 and then we were able to make pretty good time here, but now I just want to get into my PJs and get under covers

I walked across the street to get some food and it was pretty good.  Now I am sitting in bed all comfy and ready to just relax.    I think I am going to read for a while so I will wrap this up.  Don’t know why these have been so short, guess it just isn’t that exciting driving all day

Today we are going from Nicholasville to Richmond to Louisville!  It is a lot of driving, luckily I am riding.  There is an Apple store in Lexington so we may stop there so I can get a new watch.  It is kinda strange not having it after wearing every day.

I was next to the laundry facility at the hotel last night.  Not good.  Apparently the BEST time to do laundry in a hotel is about 04:00!  It was so freakin loud, but luckily it was a consistent rhythm and I was able to fall back asleep.  That is after I ate a PB&J

Our meeting went really well again today.  We had a bit more people then we have been having, but since we are only at one location today I guess that makes sense.

We are going to go to Louisville after leaving here and it is a good bit of a drive.  We are going to stop in Lexington to go to an Apple store so I can get a new watch.

Apple store, how you disappoint me!  So, the person I talked to on the phone led me to believe that they would just exchange the watch, well they don’t do that in any stores…  So I went all out of my way and for no reason.  Now I need to call again and have them send me shipping stuff so I can send it off.  Awesome!

We ate at an Outback tonight.  It was really good.  I don’t usually go to the one at home because it is always just too busy.

Alright, I am going to bed now.

Today I am flying to Lexington, Kentucky.  We are starting off there and then ending up in St. Louis.  These trips are hard, but they have ended up being very productive at almost every single session.  I think there has really only been 1 place that didn’t have much discussion, but at least I showed them some new functionality.

The puppies know when I have the suitcase out that I am going to be leaving.  They are both staying very close to me and it.

Laundry is all done and now I am just working around the room until I need to jump in the shower and head out

Food, check – shower, check – packed, check – ride here, check

Got to Lexington safe and sound even though the cab ride could have ended badly!  The guy was driving about 20 miles over the speed limit the entire way

Today we finished up so early that I actually was able to get the earlier flight home.  The flight I was on was leaving Dayton Ohio at 20:00 and not getting home until 23:30.  Now I actually landed at 17:00 and made it home by like 18:30.  Had to wait on Paul and Carlos to come get me.

I got to drive Paul’s new car!!!  It is very very very very nice 😉  I am so happy for him!

Let’s see, got home, ate, changed clothes, played with the puppies and now I am ready to go to bed.

Sorry it is so short, but I need to get to bed because I have a long day tomorrow.

This afternoon when we were checking into the hotel I could NOT find my wallet!  I looked twice everywhere and then called the hotel we came from.  They didn’t have it so I looked 1 more time – FOUND IT!!!

I about had a fit.  We are so far from where we stayed last night and I really didn’t want to have to drive all that way but thankfully it was there.

I have been thinking about doing a shed next to the house for an office and I think I found the one I want.  It isn’t a crazy amount and it is big.  Will have to see how it goes.

Our session this morning went well, but they had very little questions for me.  The good news is there was a couple who said they liked it, more than the other product they used to use.  So that is very good.

We were traveling on another like country road and this time I really did feel very carsick.  It was a lot of up and down and left and right, but I think the more damaging part of it is that we were going by a lot of farms and they had corn growing and I was kinda looking out the window.  I think the corn did it!

I am not sure what we are doing for dinner, there isn’t a Panda Express around so that means I must have it this weekend  Ha ha ha!

Went to Chili’s for dinner, I had the cookie skillet – that is all!  Goodnight

Today we are at Queensgate Yard here in Cincinnati.  This is a big place in the middle of some cool building!  I was actually getting a little car sick on the way here trying to look at everything, kept turning my head from right to left!

This morning went really well.  We have finished for the day I think, got through a lot of people done.  I had a couple people who needed some help so that makes this trip a success as well.  All the locations this week were very prepared to ask me questions or have me resolve issues.  It feels great!

I am not sure what we are doing for lunch, will have to get back to this later.

Lunch – this was a place downtown that they had seen on a TV show.  It was Mexican but fancy Mexican not like TexMex.  It was alright, tasted pretty authentic to me like when I was in Mexico.  So you know I would prefer the American-ized version

We just got back from dinner and we went to another Bru Burger.  That place is very good.  I am kinda glad they don’t have one in Jax because I would most likely be sick of it

Alright, I am going to go to bed or at least read a bunch and hope I get very tired and fall asleep  Last night I was up about every hour and it wasn’t good.  K, BYE!!!!

This morning we were in a place called South Shore and we had another great work sessions.  It was a happy group of guys

We had a long drive to the next place, Cincinnati.  On the way we were down like back roads for a good bit of the way and we saw a live beaver crossing the road!  I don’t think I have seen one in the wild before so I was very excited  My coworkers were making fun of me, but they knew it was cool!!

We waited until we got here to have lunch which might have been a bad idea because dinner is supposed to be at a Brazilian Steak House.   We ate at Chipotle which I have only been once and didn’t love it.  Well, today it was pretty good!  I got the bowl and that seems to be what everyone raves about.

The hotel here is very nice.  It was good that it was freezing when I got there so I laid down for a nap  Then I haven’t been feeling well like all week so I knew what dinner was going to be like so I have decided to skip and stay here.  I hate doing that because I like being with the group, but I just can’t do it.  I know I am not going to feel good.

Going to bed now, goodnight!

Today we were in Louisa, Kentucky.  This is a nice little town, seems to be in the valley of some “hills”  We had a good day of training today and we saw the fanciest gas station building EVER!  The training was in the morning and then we drove to the next location which was in Portsmouth.  The whole trip we were in and out of Kentucky and Ohio.  I think it was as simple as Kentucky on one side of the river and Ohio on the other

We are staying in a nice Holiday Inn here in like the middle of this old town.  It’s nice in that the buildings are old and pretty, but there isn’t much around.  I wanted to get some pictures of the town, but didn’t manage to get back outside to do it because we were going to dinner at a Japanese Steak House a good ways away.

We ate in Ashland at this place called Fuji something.  It was good and the cook spoke very little english so he wasn’t quite as funny as they usually are.  The waiter had a happy attitude though and made up for it

Paul got his new car today!!  I am so very happy for him.  I think this is his first brand new car and he was persistent and got exactly what he wanted.  Good for him

This is posting late because the power was out at the house yesterday and the server was shut down.
