Planning

My sister was at mom's for a while for Thanksgiving and left this morning. I had expressed to Doug that I thought I ought to go up and visit her before the end of the year. Should I fly solo, should I take the train, take one of our cars? And he felt like he should come too. 

We started planning. 

We could take the dog, but, she can't stay at the hotel because she's too big. But also, Doug thinks we should stay at my mom's but I'm all against that nonsense because smoking and it is 90 degrees in the trailer AND the bed is a full sized bed. So two of us and/or three of us with the dog would be ridiculous.

He's not hearing me out that if we go together, the bed is small and close. Let that just stand. 

And dude is now such a big fan of Amtrak so the train together to Providence, rent a car, and spend like 3, 4 days. It could be a thing.

And probably the weekend before Christmas. If everything isn't sold out all the way. 

I'm happy he wants to go with me and figure out the best options. I just want to be not stressed, and comfortable and .... happy. I don't want to pay to travel, and be stressed for 3 or 4 days while there. 

I love my mom, I truly do, but for sure I just want to go visit her and have a nice visit and not be stressed out. 

More to come on that. He went to bed grumbling that the train would be 300 bucks each for us, and then renting a car, maybe we should drive, maybe this maybe that. I just need to know if it is too late to ask my boss for time off. Because I bet 4 other people on my team are taking the time off. And in theory, I could work while I'm up there, depending on the days we're up there. 

Sigh. 

Tomorrow, Doug gets to go into DC with his office team and go to the White House, and lookie lou at the Christmas Decorations... and then Wednesday he goes to a big holiday luncheon with his office people. Twice in one week, people. Work people. 

I don't envy him but I kind of would love a field trip. 

Hopefully he'll take a couple pictures for me of the trees and shit. 

On that note. Bed.
