Trip to the Cod: And we're off!

Gemma arrived yesterday and I went to get her from South Station. It was pouring rain and I was stuck in Burlington (went to investigate curtains) in traffic 30 mins before her train got in but I managed to get there in time. I drive like the wind, LIKE THE WIND!

So we're all sitting here in the office nervously jiggling our feet and watching the clock and checking traffic updates every 3 seconds (or maybe that's just me) and raring to go and I think we'll be leaving around 2 pm. One of the partners suggested we get on the road to beat traffic (as if there's such thing) so hey, that's good enough encouragement for me.

Had my used-to-be-regular sushi lunch with the Bullfrog at the MIT food court by the COOP which was really nice. Met Ashan there. That guy is everywhere! If you were here, I'd be lunching with you.

There're only 3-4 others here in the office today on account of Joy's funeral. I didn't go. I didn't think I'd be able to not cry considering I was howling on the drive back from Wilmington the day she passed.

So the bags are packed and in the car only I've forgotten to bring any books so a quick stop home to pick some up and maybe another one at the store to get some drinks and snacks and we should be Cape Cod-bound soon. Stupid Black Cobra is only coming tomorrow afternoon but no matter! We shall eat lots of seafood tonight and go whale-watching tomorrow morning (she gets sea sick)!

Off we go! Yay! I like mini-breaks!
