Well, hell.

Didn't sleep much because apparently I was hit by several invisible trucks yesterday, the effects of which were only apparent as the night progressed.

So sore and achey! And my back has loudly expressed its displeasure at whatever the hell I did to it. And if I knew, I swear I would avoid doing it again. :(

And of course the painkillers are all hiding.

I need a scapegoat. I think I'll use Felix.

And the neighbor's new puppy whimpered for a few hours until well after 1AM - I ended up over there looking through their window. Puppy was fine, mom was ignoring him, I was saying, "Come ON Dolly - go get him!" And she of course just really wanted me to come inside and pet her, so..what puppy, exactly?

And then Lurk yowled for too many of the wee hours.

So. I'm...not at work yet. :/

However, THANKS folks for suggesting alternative plane transport! Both train and bus look doable - I've never taken a non-public-transportation train. My next challenge is getting to the station. Not that I've purchased a ticket yet, but - ya know. This looks promising.

I am SO tired. I was going to try to work tomorrow instead of taking off, but..I think I need the day off. Oy.

I don't know your geography terribly well either, but I adore trains. I understand, though, it's still a seven-hour ride if you take the 7:20AM train from Pittsburgh, but [livejournal.com profile] dr_p_venkman led me to believe that was due to terrain. [Last year, my Michael had an interview in PA, and we started looking into commuter-y things, which are vastly different in PA than what I've gotten used to in NYS and in MA.]

But the rate for one-way for the 7:20AM Amtrak train, no transfers, is $47.00.

That's the one I'm looking at. It kinda looks like fun! I had lumped it into the hell that is Greyhound, but it truly looks much much nicer.

If this trip is going where I think it is, make damned sure that you are awake for Horseshoe Curve. Amazing view.
