And then the thought comes: it won't be so bad and it will give me an extra day at home. And before I know what's happened, I've booked another red-eye flight across the country.
Yesterday was one of those travel days. I boarded my plane in SLC for an 11:50pm departure, headed to JFK arriving at 6:15am. Which, with the 2 hour time difference, is really 4:15 am. Luckily, I was really tired from working until the wee hours the night before. And luckily, I got upgraded to 6B - the land of wide seats and ample leg room.
But still, I only got about two hours of frequently interrupted sleep. Surprisingly, I only had one coke zero today. I fully expected it to be a two coke zero day, but I managed on just a single can.
On the walk home from the showroom, I passed by Chipotle. I felt like I was fading and fast, so the idea of getting a salad and retreating to my hotel room sounded perfect.
I got back to my room, changed into comfy clothes and pulled out my Chipotle salad. It was then that I realized I had completely forgotten utinsils. I searched and searched my room for something I could use but couldn't find anything. Heading out in search of a fork was the last thing I wanted to do, but I couldn't find any suitable substitute....until I spied these!
Yes, those are Bic brand chopsticks. How is that for McGyvering?
So it's 9pm and I've been awake for 36 hours with about 2 hours of sleep. If the Bic chopsticks are any indication, I should've had that second coke zero. Or maybe I shouldn't have booked that red-eye in the first place. But then I look at my little boy...and I book another red-eye.
