When i go out of town but Christine remains at home, i happily document being away from the usual. When we're both gone, i am a bit more cryptic about it.

Other things that also kept me from journaling:

(1) The hotel we were staying at was next to the Travelodge, and we were told to use the Travelodge wireless access point. Christine was trying to do her (somewhat painfully old) computer science online training -- woo, everyone will have a good 2002 baseline windows computing experience -- and so she got all the bandwidth and i contented myself with reading on the cell phone.

(2) I appear to be developing a bit more of a 3 am waking pattern than i like, and Saturday in the wee hours i could not go back to sleep. Doing the yoga routine on my phone helped finally. I then slept in as much as i could before driving Christine to her conference location. I walked myself to exhaustion on Saturday as well, so i was early to bed and late (ish) to rise.

(3) We were out cruising the grey bluffs at 8 am on Sunday, removing me from my morning journaling time, and i spent many hours in the afternoon making necklaces and going through stashes.

My hope for today, another day off in my use-it-as-i-earn-it vacation plan, is to do some significant planning for getting my time and responsibilities back on track. The temptations are to string two more necklaces -- the splurge purchase from the bead store in Santa Cruz -- and process the hundreds of photos. (Yes, it is very cool to have the rapid shoot shutter thing when shooting surfers. And then there's cleaning up the many unnecessary shots.)

I should also make some documentation of my fingerless mit i was improvising while traveling.

Photos and sharing the joy to come.
