Day 82

I'm packing my bags...I'm leaving on a jet plane! Tomorrow I'm headed to Las Vegas.

You would think that I would be excited, but instead I'm feeling very discombobulated. I'm trying to pack a bag, but my heart isn't into it. I've never been to Vegas before, so flying in and flying out for business (an ambulance billing conference) with very little free time isn't all that appealing. I haven't flown since we went to Italy, so I feel a little 'out of practice'. Basically, I'm going to miss a week of work to go this conference...and I'm already really behind. And with Granny passing away, the timing just really seems off. They have now scheduled her funeral for Saturday, my brother will be in town on Thursday, and Mark has asked that I do up a program for Granny like Billie and I did for Dad's memorial service. Thankfully, Billie has offered to take this on wholly...because she is a dear.

All that aside, the bottom line is...I still have to go. I have to go alone tomorrow, but then my co-worker Christie will meet me there Tuesday for classes Wednesday and Thursday, and we'll be back home late Thursday night. And it is Vegas after all...I'm going to try to have at least a little fun while I'm there.
