After staying up pat 3am last night, I had to get up at “regular time” to do a bunch of work with Bossguy. That was fun.
I had so much to do last night and this morning. That’s what happens not just when it’s the end of the month, end of the year, but also before you have to get ready for being out of town for the next four days.
Anyway, Bossguy and I got a ton of work done and then we both had flights (to different places) out of Burbank at around 4pm. Little did we know that Southwest had other plans for us. As soon as we got in, we found out that both our flights were delayed… mine at least half and hour… his 2+ hours!
We both tried to get on to earlier flights, but they weren’t taking standby for his and the earlier flight for my city (Oakland) was going to leave at around the same time as my original flight… no point in changing. Bossguy and I sat down for a while and then we decided to try again for him. Good thing we did! Some people volunteered to take a later flight and so he was able to get on the earlier flight (which had already been delayed over an hour). As for me, I got on to my flight shortly after he left. I arrived into Oakland just past 6pm.
I was met outside of baggage claim by Yoshi and YoshiMom, YoshiDad, and YoshiAuntie where we were whisked off to Castro Valley for dinner at a Thai restaurant called the Lime Leaf. Yummy! We dropped off YoshiAuntie at her house after dinner (where we got some presents to take home and unwrap), and then we headed over to YoshiCousin’s house where we were met by the clan. Fun!
When we finally got back to YoshiParents’ place, I had to have a piece of persimmon bread and then I opened Christmas presents! Whoo hoo! All I can say is that I am very lucky and that Yoshi’s family is extremely generous.
Anyhooz, it’s definitely time for bed because we have a full day ahead of us tomorrow in the city.
sounds like a yoshirific good time!
