Dragging

Fuck me, this cold is dragging out. I was really hoping it would be gone before I have to leave for St Louis Friday morning but I'm giving up on that. I know it's a decade since I swore off Amtrak, but Southwest wanted three times as much to fly me down. So I'm looking at a minimum 8-hour travel day. I thought I'd spend it comfortably reading, but looks like I'm more likely to be fitfully sleeping instead. Feh.

It's got to be easier than getting through an 8-hour workday, right? So far I haven't had to do that this week--I gave up after two hours on Monday and yesterday I left at 3 p.m. Today not only will I have to be here past five to make up for being a bit late but I've got another tutoring session. As with Monday's dinner, I know I'll perk up once we get swinging, but I'll probably end up feeling even worse afterwards.

I hope you feel better, and that you have a great trip.

FWIW, in my sadly recent experience, Amtrack is much better for sleeping than Greyhound: More legroom, softer cushions, fewer weird guys asking you to open their can of sardines for them.

I just suck at getting to sleep on any form of transport; every little thing distracts me.

I can't sleep in a moving vehicle either; I was speaking more theoretically.

Good luck anyway; maybe it would help if you bring some earplugs? Or a little kava tea in a thermos? That stuff used to knock me right out back when I used to have insomnia.
