Tuesday, August 26, 2003

I had to fly to Newark this morning.   With a migraine.  =(   I survived the drive to the airport un-medicated (except for Excedrin) through pouring rain and took an Imitrex as soon as I was at the gate.  I ended up with an aisle seat instead of a window since the plane was full.  I usually try for a window so I can lean against it and relax.  I really needed it this trip as the Imitrex made me sleepy.  I put on my sunglasses and conked right out.  Serendipity!  My seat had those bendy headrests.   =)

I woke up drooling with a jolt.  Fortunately, I don't think anyone saw.  Gah, how embarrassing.  I freshened up at Newark airport (Doesn't that sound like an oxymoron?) when we landed.   I had thought the salesperson picking me up would be whisking me off to meet with clients.  Nope.  I was rushed back to the office where I checked my email and did routine work.  Glad I flew in early to do that.  /rolls eyes

The Imitrex was kicking in nicely so my head felt much better all afternoon.  It started pounding again at about 4:30.  I wasn't driven to my hotel until 6. 

/rejoice
I stayed at an upscale Hilton where I promptly ordered room service for dinner (horseradish-encrusted sea scallops) and plugged my laptop into the high-speed Internet cable.  Dinner was scrumptious.  Okay, it was better than McDonald's so I was pleased.  I enveloped myself in the big white fluffy robe provided and surfed the Internet, read personal email, and chatted with friends on various instant messengers.

Galahad called me to wish me sweet dreams.  Then off to TV land for this week's Sex & the City.  I surfed a few channels before it started and discovered that the Hilton has free porn.  Who knew?

Off to dream world safely ensconced in my scratchy sheets.
