It's good to be home!
Good morning! I just flew in from Las Vegas and boy are my arms tired! Actually, I flew in from Las Vegas via San Francisco. I landed at around 7 a.m. and I did not sleep a wink on my flight.I have been awake since 2 a.m. Pacific time yesterday It has not hit me yet ,however I do realize that at some point today, I will just run out of gas.My body is reacting to the combination of lack of sleep and the cool temperature here. Drinking water is a challenge and all I really want to do is find energy in foods like fats and carbs (not a great game plan!).
It is now 10:30,which means I have been awake for over 29 hours now. My plan is to finish out the workday,have some dinner, take a nice hot shower and then get to bed by around 9 tonight.We'll see how that works out.
In the meantime, it's good to be home!
The trade show I attended was anything but spectacular. In fact,it may have been one of the worst attended slowest shows I have ever been to.The lack of energy generated at the show certainly is not helping to lift the charge in my batteries.Add a dose of way to much coffee churning away in my gut and you can well imagine I am not at my best right about now.
Still,it's good to be home!
While I was away, I could not listen to my daily mentoring from Darren Hardy or my Minute with Maxwell word of the day.It felt good to have access to these resources once again this morning.
In Darren's message he discussed the Chinese proverb...
"The temptation to quit is greatest just before you are about to succeed".
How extraordinarily apropos this is after the week I have had.
By the time I spoke to my brother late yesterday afternoon, I was well on my way to being very sad.Try as I might to make the best of my trip, I found little ,if anything at all, to lift my spirits. If quitting were in my nature, this trip might well have been the straw that would have broken not only my back,but my spirit as well.
Like I said, it's good to be home.
I am sitting here in a cold empty house.Susan and Max are off at work and Becky won't be in for a few hours still.I just closed the windows, and turned the boiler on. Normally 68 degrees would not bother me , however given the other factors,I will indulge myself and warm things up a bit.The dogs greeted me vociferously for about 10 minutes and are now enjoying their normal morning siestas.
It is really good to be home!
There is one awesome take away from this 4 day trip to Sin City.
My September Word of the Month is "THRIFTY" and boy was I ever. 43 nights'and 4 days away from home and here is my tab:
Air fare ....................................$0.00 (I used miles!)
3 nights in a luxury hotel room..... ..................$33.60 total (I called in a favor!)
3 dinners................$62
Lunch ................Free! (supplied by the show!)
Coffee with a vendor.......$16.
Shuttle and tip to and from the airport......$20
Add in a new hoodie (I was freezing on the plane) I spent less than $160!
Now that's what I call thrifty!
With all of that in mind....guess what?
It's still good to be home!
