Sometimes just call the Uber

I had big plans for this morning. 

I knew Doug had to be up early, so I was going to wake up same time do stuff blah blah blah. Good lord. It didn't happen. 

We both were up around 2 and went to the bathroom. He went to the guest room so I knew I wouldn't be hearing his alarm go off.. My alarm was set for 8:30 just in case I didn't wake up at the same time as Doug... and I didn't get up. I didn't hear him get up. I didn't hear him come upstairs to get his clothes, his laptop, anything. 

When my alarm went off at 8:30, I heard him close the front door and go. A half hour later I think than his original plan. 

Got my coffee and my dog and I went out to the patio. I answered some tickets, did some other work, attended scrum, and got to finishing my packing up. 

I got in the car a little after 12, realized I had forgotten to water the houseplants. That's okay, they'll be fine until I get back. sensitive little babies that they are, they're pretty tough. Made it to S's house a little before 2, and started to walk to the Metro. 

On paper, it said it is about a little over a mile. But, I kind of didn't go the most direct way and it ended up over a mile and a half. And it was hot. And I was dragging my wheely bag behind me. Regretting that I thought to myself "it's only a mile. I can do this it is only a mile!" 

When you don't go the route that is only a mile, and you accidentally put yourself another more than half a mile, Jesus. Don't do that to yourself. Call an Uber when you have your suitcase. 

I made it to the pub next to the metro, I had to pee. So I went in, used the bathroom and ordered a Gin & Tonic. I earned that. Sweating my ass off, finally cooling down in the AC, I ordered a second one. I deserved that one as well. 

Metro into town was super easy, hotel check in smooth. The hotel is cute, but the rooms are all really small. King bed but it is tucked up against the window, and if this was a room I had to share with Doug it would be a challenge. But solo, this is nice. 

There was a baby shower for one of my colleagues here at the office for this conference, so I ran over to connect with that. Some of my other teammates were also at that little gathering so we decided to head over to the brewery by the hotel, and we are all staying at the same hotel. 

I basically was feeling wiped out, opted to head back to the hotel instead of going to watch the Knicks game with the gang. They're texting me about how much fun they are having, and a "cute little DC rat ran through the outdoor beer garden." 

"He's so little, not like a New York City rat." 

Okay. Ha. 

I'm very happy I'm in my hotel. 

They have an iPad to control everything, change the lights and vibe, control the TV, put up the blinds, put down the blinds, all the fun stuff. 

Tomorrow, early start. I think I will do my best to get up and run in the gym. I packed my bathing suit but there is no pool. They do have a gym. If I'm able to motivate myself to go, that'll be a good thing. But even if I don't, I'll still get a lot of steps in, I am sure.
