Well, hell.

[elionwyr]

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.

Amtrak *used* to run out of the central facility in Downtown, near Duquesne Univ(I know only because I went to Duquesne, and it seemed smartest to take the damned train than beg for freakin rides to the Airport, in fact I *walked* to the bloody train station from The Bluff)...and really, the Amtrak trains are *clean*...and comfy..and roomy..and...well, really all kinds of convenient. And I was able to plug my laptop into the power outlet next to my seat.

The bus terminal in Pgh is not far from that..convenient also..but I would recommend the train more..as long as you can get a ride to Downtown, then you are good to go..

I hear you on the exhaustion and the achey. As I mentioned in my last update, my plans for a quiet, "normal", relaxing evening went up in smoke, and I was awake until 4AM scanning, copying and collating, which play hell on my back and legs due to the cramped quarters in our office. Spines and hips are not meant to move like that, and even my sweet Shakira would think twice about pulling some of the gyrations I did last night.

I hope you feel better soon.

I am taking the train from HArrisburg to Mass. I am leaving on Thursday. 7 hours on a train beats 5 and a half driving, and getting lost for some part on the time in CT. and Mass.

I love train travel. It's kind of slow because of all the stops but:
1) it causes the least motion sickness of any form of travel (my experience anyway).
2) It has the most comfortable seats; they actually recline to a useful angle and are way wider than bus or plane so you're not having to be ulltra friendly with the guy next to you.
3) There is food available on the train which tastes like food.
4) The bathrooms on the train are less scary than plane or bus bathrooms.
