things got pretty sour

Here i was, Friday afternoon before the holiday.  I have been working all week even though I was supposed to be on vacation beginning since Wednesday.  That never happens anyway, no surprise.  Anyone looking for coherency, turn away now, scrambled eggs is all you will find here. 
I had a client for Monday that was already leaning to the pleasant side with me.  That should have been a fairly simple day.
That would have left plenty of time for the other tasks on the list:
  • pick up board from shop
  • go to storage and grab some vinyl
  • pack container for cabin
  • go to gym
  • hang with eva
You know, life.  The stuff I am not able to do most of the time.
I then had a pretty cool day planned for Tuesday.  I had a client set up in SF which personally assisted in the sale of more of my time (a first for me).  I had lunch plans with a couple of friends who are heading back home that day.  The it was back to vinyasa.  Let me tell ya, this shit is rad.  I have been saying for about two years that I just haven't found any workout that gives me the workout I require besides the running, until now. 
Well, all that came to a halt right in the middle of a short errand run.  I had been told over and over this week:  There is no way you are going to Wisconsin.  Well, guess what?  I'm going to Wisconsin.  Yep, I have a 12:30 flight headed straight into the midwest.  My only hope now?  The weather is too bad for the plane to depart.  This is a dangerous wish.  The same wish can get me stuck there for a week.  What are you gonna do?
Move on, that's what.  I am amazed at the focusing power of sudden change.  I am also thankful for all the kind thoughts.  Even the travel agent assured me that there would be no way I was actually flying out on Sunday.  One particularly generous friend even went so far as to guarantee as much and confirm our plans.  I really, really hope this is right, but I am not holding my breath.  Of course, none of us truly knows the future.  Well, not me anyway.
