Well, I went to the Court Model Conference yesterday at Sam's Town. Like all things in 'Vegas, all the non-gambling rooms and activities are placed in the middle of the hotel and one has to walk a thousand miles to get to them. I did take my cane as I knew this was going to be the situation. I did look at a map of Sam's Town first, and it appeared from the map that I parked in the closest place available. By the time I arrived at the conference rooms, they were smack dab in the middle of the hotel, no parking from any other place, including valet, would have been closer, and I had walked at least 500 miles. Boy!!! Was I tired. My legs, knees, and back were all killing me, and the conference hadn't even started yet.
There was a continental breakfast offered: the fruit was good, but the danish were hard and old. At least the coffee was good! The conference itself was really good; I just hope we can really implement the program. It was hard to see how CASA was going to be put in the front end of this program, but later one of the administrators of CASA came up with a good suggestion.
When it was lunch time, we were told it was just out the door to the left. Yeah, right~ It was another 5,000 miles, and this time, since they made it sound close, I didn't take my cane. So, by the time I got to the rooms for the lunch, I was way worn out again. Then, although we were asked if we wanted a regular lunch or a vegetarian plate, it was all served buffet style. Whatever! Just more standing for me. One of the other CASA administrators walked with me back, as he knew what I had been going through. I took the pain pills I had been putting off taking as I wanted to stay as awake as possible during the conference. I did start to get sleepy towards the end, and I was also getting really hot, while everyone else was cold. The second half of the conference was good as well, it was just I was getting tired because of the pain and the pills.
So, today, after not getting a good night's sleep because of the Restless Leg Syndrome, I woke grouchy. I also had another nightmare, but don't remember too much about it. I just had to get up, watch I Love Lucy and take another Tylenol P.M. to get back to sleep. Then it appeared that everything I touched till now was against me.
I went into my classes, and wasn't able to download all the articles I needed. Then the Coursepacks I paid for were somehow sent to my old email address. I had corrected the email last quarter with the bookstore, but apparently they went back to the old email I had not been using because it was being phished. Then I sat on terminal hold via online chat waiting to talk to a representative about this problem, when finally she said it was all fixed and it would be sent to my new address. I waited for over a half an hour, and finally had to go to my old email and figure out how to get into it. Did that, was able to download the course packs, so all is good on that front.
Oh!!!! Forgot to mention, don't know how, my first experience of this lovely day. I want to make hash browns, and the burner was making the pan all crooked. So, in my daze of pain pills and sleep left over, I place my hand on the burner to push it down. Well, the burner was on! Duh!!! So, now I have gauze all over my hand, and am going to have burner marks on my hand for a few days.
The cats partied after I went back to bed by getting sick on the floor; one did her thing on front carpet; and turned over a glass jar we have out, which at least didn't break. So, my big cat has been hungry for the rest of the day, since she got sick this morning, so I fed her a little this afternoon as I definitely know where she is coming from.
So, at least I was able to have my crab legs for lunch, which is always a good thing. And I finally did get all my course pack stuff and the other articles downloaded. And, the season finale of Being Human on BBCA is on tonight. So, life is good after all!
