I spent my time in travel maintaining equilibrium. The flight from SFO to Phoenix was quite the bother: boarding in some far international terminal of SFO where i felt incredibly dowdy among the closed duty-free Coach and Chanel stores, landing in a PHX terminal a bus ride away from the terminal from which i was to leave for CMH, a quite long mid-morning security line in Phoenix.
I'm not sure how i picked such an awkward flight: i suspect US Air canceled their morning flight to Phoenix and shoved me on a borrowed United seat.
I am so very very glad i packed boiled eggs, cheese, nuts, and dried fruit. I didn't have ground opportunities for food, and the flight options were scarce. I crocheted a little and listened to my audio book. I read my ebook. I chose to enjoy the blooming ocotillo and desert plants in Phoenix. I found the muted romance between the elderly couple next to me between SFO and PHX to be sweet.
In Columbus i stopped at a drive through for a fast food baked potato and salad and retired to my room. The evening stretched on ahead of me, and i just kept reading.
A work email i saw while in Phoenix irritated me, and i keep trying to let go of the irritation. New Director, oh, why?
I know i've been at my monthly nadir, and i expect that my engagement and joy will pick up in a day or so. At the moment i can tell i want to escape from my present, escape from connections, and just be in someone else's world.
I'm going to see if i can actually follow through on some work notes i made Friday and Get Something Done before the large cattle-herd all-day meeting. Maybe i can feel a bit more like i have meaning in this role. (Oh, New Director, do you have any idea how much you deflate me?)
Also, it's muggy here in Columbus. Meh.
