Diary: 2024-04-05


My day sure started early. I had a 6:30 am flight so I had to get up early and get to the airport. I only had a 1 1/2-hour layover but it was still a long day of flights as I got into Miami at 4:30 in the afternoon. Other than being a long day of flying, it was pretty uneventful. I tried to sleep on the first leg but ended up just closing my eyes and listening to music. For the second leg, I just read my book. At Denver Airport, at the end of Terminal A, they have a little outdoor area where you can get some fresh air and pictures of the mountains. There is even a little doggie area so they can go potty. It was a little chilly, but nice.


Instead of staying at a hotel by the airport and then catching an Uber to the port in the morning, I decided to book a hotel downtown. That way Kayla and I could spend the evening out on the town. Sadly my plans were foiled because my sister doesn't get in until very late. She had to work so she had to take a late flight. I guess it will be just me checking out the downtown Miami life. The room had a good view of downtown, which was just a bunch of buildings, but still it was a very nice hotel. 


Knowing my sister like I do (she loves to procrastinate), I printed her boarding pass and luggage tags and had them ready for her. One more night, and then tomorrow I will get up and board the ship. Eight days of fun in the sun, here I come.

Cheers for now.

  Today I met up with Maria for some pickle ball. Neither of us is very good at it but we had a lot of fun. We started by just playing the two of us, but after a while, an older couple asked if we wanted to play against them. I think they didn't have a court reserved and wanted to play. Neither Maria nor myself had an issue so we said yes. They were pretty good and gave us some great tips and pointers.  After our match, Maria and I headed to a little cafe where we had lunch and talked. After that, I went home and worked on housework.  Cheers for now.

      Today was my last round of dealing with the auditors. Today it was the procurement team. Again, they went over every penny and every day off that was taken. I don't know what they are looking for but if they don't find it, it won't because they didn't look hard enough for it. I am glad I am done with the audit. I spent the rest of the day getting as much done and getting ready for me being on vacation next week.   I talked with my sister tonight. We are both excited for my visit to New York City on Saturday. We plan on doing all the tourist thing and eating way too much good food.    Cheers for now.

  I was glad I had no meeting today as it allowed me to get a lot of work done. I managed to get all the proposal reviews done and presentations scheduled, I also got a lot of work done on my end-of-month reports. I did read in an email that our division HR Manager is leaving. I am sad to see her go. I called her and she told me that she got an offer for an HR Manager with another company in town and she said the pay was really good. It will be sad to see her go but I wished her the best and told her we needed to stay in touch.   After work, I got a call from my mom and dad. They had heard about Lee and wanted to make sure I was okay. Apparently, when it comes to my love life, there are no secrets.  My dad offered for him and Uncle Bob to come to town and "re-arrange the guy's face." I smiled and said that would not be necessary, that I had it handled and would be fine. My mom gave me some advice on how to deal with a bad break-up. I asked her if s...
