I Didn't Skip Thursday. You're Imagining Things.

I have managed to post in this space every single day for ... a lot of years. EVERY DAY. It turns out that what it takes to get me to miss is for there to be an extra 11 hours in my day and absolutely no internet access the entire time.

Translation: Getting to Pittsburgh from Asia suuuuuucks. It requires two connections and a minimum of 24 hours of travel time and ugh.

12-hour flights are brutal, especially when they're matched up with 6-hour flights. Bangkok to Tokyo was 6 hours, and then Tokyo to Washington DC was 12+ hours, and thank goodness it's only about a 30-minute flight from DC to Pittsburgh. If it had been longer, it's very possible I would have parachuted out and walked the rest of the way home because I was just plain done with planes. The crazy part of it all is that if I just paid attention to the clock, it only took 12 hours to get home. I flew out of Bangkok at 12:30 am Friday and landed in Pittsburgh at 12:30 pm Friday.

In other words, ZOMG was it a long morning.

Remind me of that the next time we're figuring out who is going where for international travel. I generally try to convince everyone else they should go on any and all long trips, but I might need to be more assertive in the future. (I say that knowing full well I'll be going to Australia in the winter and bluuuurrrrgh. Maybe we'll be able to zap people from one place to another by then.)

And now to backdate this post so it appears to show up on Thursday. Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain, you guys. She's just on a weird time warp bender. It started with a funky Starbucks drink in Bangkok, was followed by another funky Starbucks drink in Tokyo, and then there was a normal Starbucks drink in DC. Is it socially acceptable to have coffee three times in one day? What if the clock says all three drinks were consumed at essentially the same time?

Wait.

Don't answer that.
