Day 308- Ted leaves for England

Today was spent getting preparing for my weekly call with my boss along with household chores that I didn't get done over the weekend.

I wil lbe taking Ted to the airport tonight at 5pm and then driving home. My plan is to study for the drivers test and then go to the base on Thursday to pass that darn test!

Ted got home at 4:30pm but didn't want to leave until 5pm. We left and got to the airport and needed a cart because he was transporting equipment. By the time we found a cart, unloaded the car and got back into the terminal it was already 5:30. My call is at 6pm and Ted wanted me to wait to see if his carry on would fit or if he had to go to plan B which was to move his laptop to a shoulder bag and check his roll around. It turned out he didn't have to do that, so he was good to go and I was OK to leave and go home to my call.

I paid for the parking and then got into the car. I needed to turn on the GPS because it was already quite dark and I don't know the roads. Since I don't drive the car, I don't pay much attention on how to get from point A to point B.

I made one tiny mistake coming out of the airport. I had fleece pants and top along with my coat and scarf so I was getting overheated. By the time I got home, I was worried that I would miss the call. I had to back the car (which I don't normally drive) into our parking stall. I didn't want to leave it outside since it was already snowing and I didn't feel like going back out again later on.

I drive stick but I'm not used to this car yet and I had to back it into our stall (otherwise I wouldn't be able to get out of the car)! And it's a bit of a challenge because it's a corrugated metal floor AND there was a car parked in the next stall and I didn't want to damage my car or hers! I finally managed to get it parked and locked the door. I raced up the steps and had to get out of the coat, scarf and fleece clothing before my call. I had just sat down when my boss called!

My husband has the MOST incredible timing! He called just when she did so I had to listen to him for a few minutes and put my boss on hold. My boss and I spent the next hour or so getting caught up on project issues and prioritizing the week's work.

When I got off the phone, I did some company work and then sat, relaxed and worked on my husband's scarf.
