A few days away mmmm

i have been telling people for years to take care of themselves, however I am not good about doing it myself.  Work has been at best difficult for the past few months but it is making progress, but not without taking a toll on me.  Tension, feeling out of sorts etc., are all signs you need  a rest.  The signs are neon and about three or four stories tall, so I am taking off for a few days.

I am on a plane to Philly.  Never been there, am going to sightsee, etc.  Or maybe just sleep.    THe trip started off along the vein of the past few months.  The person on the first leg of the flight was a big and I DO mean big, seat hog.  He sat will into my space with his back to me, allowing me minimal room.  He did not speak English, so I assume my request for him to lean over were not understood.  Deplaning was a continuation of this, I was wapped in the head by an oversize bag that had been crammed into the overhead and got stuck coming out, thence loss of control and wap.  Next comes the getting your gate checked bag, the first people off the plane just stop to wait, much like the elevator raptors that are standing in front of the door to get on, without realizing that there needs to be a path for exit.  It is an interesting phenomenon.

Now we come to the wait for the second leg of the trip, it was somewhat uneventful, with the exception of having my foot mangled by a large woman in 5 inch heels.  Cool shoes, painful getting up close and personal to actually see them. 

The seating companion on the second leg is farther away, I managed an exit row (no extra charge) and there are 3 seats and tow of us.  He is not particularly agreeable but he is not breathing on me either.  and there is free wifi on this flight.  This is good

The noise level on both planes rivals a Stones concert from the 60's, except the noises are annoying.  The woman behing is rattling paper to the extent that it tempting not to turn around and offer a shredder.  The kid in front is loud and enjoys banging on the seat, or maybe I do need a rest

I arrived at my hotel and there was a problem--overbooked.  I am in a different town now--but my rental Pyrius, is awesome and the location is near a lot of interesting stuff, including a huge outlet mall.  Life is getting better all the time.

Now that I have my feet up no phone turned on and am just watching football life if looking pretty good.  I have a good book to read, am going to the bar and get drink to bring back up here.

I may do a good job of resting.  In fact there is already a great deal of humor in my trip today,

ah ah  mmmmmm
