A and I are back from our trip back from the east coast and all is well as can be, considering that our flight back landed at 9:30pm, we got home by 10:30 and asleep by 11...just in time for me to wake up at 5am for a 6-2.30 shift. Oooof yeah, I was a bit loopy through most of it. I pretty much passed out at 9pm last night and caught up on sleep, though now I have that sleep headache, heh. Thankfully I have today off so I can relax. I only need to do the laundry and the food shopping and I plan on doing those this morning, leaving me with the rest of the day to relax and write.

And yes, I did in fact get a lot done on Queen Ophelia's War during our trip! This is one of the reasons I like flying: it gives me an extended writing session. I spent the flight out reading all 35 pages so far of the current draft, and for the most part it's sounding really great. Just a few tiny fixes here and there, but otherwise it's going exactly how I want it. Which means that I shouldn't be having too much problem with the other edits coming up, as I've made it past the 'terrible opening' stage, heh.

Hope everyone has a good week!

In which, ten years ago, I flew on a commercial airline for the first time. Why I waited until I was 34 to do so, I'm not sure...I guess I didn't have much reason to before then. It was also the first time I'd left the continental US (not including a brief sojourn into Canada as a youth when my family drove around the top of Lake Champlain). That time it was off to Scotland for Worldcon.

I've flown many times since then...out here to California to look for apartments and then move in, back east to visit friends and family, both up and down the west coast to Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle, twice to Heathrow to visit London, and once to Paris. Oh, and once down to Arizona for a wedding!

After ten years, I have to say I love flying. I'm not the biggest fan of the occasional lack of leg room, I can get twitchy, and I've had great luck (Virgin) and not so great luck (Canadian Air), but once I'm up there and flying, I quite enjoy it. Still say the best flight was up to Seattle, in which I got a window seat and managed to see at least a dozen different well known natural points of interest along the way.
