Still alive!

Thursday morning. I don't have much time (I'm at the business center at the hotel) but wanted to make sure I checked in this week. Much like the famous novel, it's been the best of times and the worst of times this week while I've been on the road. Good things include my lack of binge eating and an attempt at managing stress without food. Opportunities for improvement include the fact that we (still) have not seen any organized activity and there's been substantial alcholic consumption. If you add the total amount of sleep I've gotten since Saturday night, it probably wouldn't go over 20 hours and I know that I'm going to be like a rock Friday afternoon once the conference is over but tonight is another social event and, true to my gabby nature, I'll be right in the thick of it.

Special note for those who share my shallow obsession with appearances: my new suits are so cool! I just love being sharply dressed, especially when there are slackers who look like they just rolled out of bed. Ha!
