What Is Sum1 Up To Today?

A Day Like No Other Recent Day

A LONG Drive Today

         Wow, shades of 'Working For Motorola again'!  We left this morning at 8:30, heading to Chicago, or really, to the Great Lakes Naval Station (Navy Exchange Pharmacy really).  Why?  We needed to get my wife's Diabetic Medication from the Pharmacy there, rather than pay what she paid in the past, about $300-$400 for a month's supply.  We managed to pick up a 3-month supply and paid nothing money wise, but 20+ years of my life in actuality.  However, we didn't get back home until almost 5pm!

         It was a nice trip (NOT!), though littered with road construction delays and the like.  Plus, for some reason, I haven't slept well the last 2 nights and drove home in an almost Zombie like state.  As a result, I almost immediately crashed for over 4 hours after getting home, and just woke about 30 minutes ago.  We shouldn't have gone really, I was too tired, but the medication was definitely needed by the weekend, so I chose to make the drive/trip.

         My original idea was to see my best friend from Motorola, but you know how the 'Best Laid Plans Of Mice & Men' can go.  We weren't back near Motorola until almost 2 and my friend Ariel was stuck in afternoon meetings.  On a much more less important thought, the afternoon rush hour traffic would soon start, and with my fatigue being such an issue, it would be a good idea to avoid the traffic.  And we did manage to get out of Dodge before traffic picked up.  I had spoken with Ariel earlier, we knew we probably would not be able to meet, but still....  He's about the only person I go out of my way to see when I'm up there, so that's always a thought.  Oh well, maybe next time.
