Long Day Behind and Ahead

I tried to get yesterday's post in, but never managed to get a break. I woke up at five to hit the gym; came home to shower and dress for work, then drove to work; work went longer than expected and ended up being late for rehearsal; after rehearsal, The One and I enjoyed a dinner together; by the time we got home it was past ten and the internet was down. It was quite the long day. But it was my last long work day until next Friday. Pardon me while I do a little happy dance.

Today will be a long driving day. The One and I are heading up to Iowa for my youngest sister's wedding. We will be there for until Sunday morning. I have made this drive many times. It is not the most exciting drive as most of it is just up 35. The One is on her way to convincing me that we should break it into two parts and not rush. The idea behind that is we do not have a hotel until tomorrow night and we are projected to get there early morning if we drive straight through.

I have two problems though. One, I do not like making unnecessary stops. If we were to stop in Des Moines we would only be three hours away and that is easily drivable. The second problem is that I do not want to wake up and drive for another half day which is what we would do if we stopped outside of KC. I know of a few places just inside the Iowa border but then I run into the first problem.

I am certain that we will discuss this on the road.

Expect a catch-up post later today while we are out on the road.

Until then, enjoy your days of work.
