finally, i get to fly out of this place. had a great workout early this morning (see fitocracy), and came back to the room for a quick bite. the plan is to head to the conference then grab some lunch and check out. and make my way back to the rental car place and G T F O. can't wait to see my girl!!!
day 27:
banana and pb
turkey and pesto wraps (minus the wraps, heh.. it was kinda gross)
cashew chicken salad at gordon biersch (so good!)
.. aaaand i missed my connecting flight. us airways kinda sucks. both my departure flight and my arrival flights were delayed because of nonsense. oh well, at least i'm in the only airport on this trip which allows free internet (that's 1/3 for anyone counting). so at the very least i can surf and irc, which, let's face it, fulfills pretty much all my basic needs.

day 26 (run day):
egg white spinach frittata and hard boiled egg
lots of fish (with capers! :) and two chicken breasts, ratatouille
apple with pb
murgh tikka masala
the goal today is to get a souvenir for kiddo. so i'm going to the museum. i may just go into the gift shop, who knows. ;) then i'm going to try tir na nOg, an irish establishment, for dinner. should be thrilling stuff!
nope. walked past the irish place and it was a bit of a shithole, so i decided on indian. the closest one was 10 blocks away, so i went down the elevator and decided at the last possible second to walk instead of drive. i'm glad i did. the food was really good.. i'm still getting used to eating by myself again. it's always so damned awkward. i had a selection of chutneys and the mango one was especially good. i tried to hold off on the rice as much as possible.
the walk back was without incident, and i'm now watching espn in my room. how boring am i?
i was not 100% on the treadmill today.. my heart rate failed to climb like normal and i felt kinda crappy. i'm going to push it tomorrow morning. i'm not out of this place until 4pm so i need to do something or i'll go nuts.

ran a 5k and lifted some heavy stuff.
day 24:
turkey berry salad
apple and pb
la paella at oxford gastropub (2/5)
banana and pb (fuck, calories)
read more of "the art of racing in the rain". dude is an asshole, and is deliberately trying to make me cry! there are so many parallels in the story for me. a man and his dog who has to fight for his daughter after losing his wife. it's me. i'm not sure why i chose to buy it on amazon other than happenstance, but clearly it was serendipitous. would it hold as much emotion for other readers? not sure. for me, it just provided crystal clarity on my condition as a single parent, with all the inherent responsibility. and again it made me hate my ex and her family, with their selfishness, rationalizations and ability to ignore reality. here i am, out of town, and it kills me not to be with my daughter. i can't imagine the life my ex lives, separated from her own child for weeks at a time. seriously, what a cunt. although i laughed earlier when i was switching channels and passed "glee" and wondered if somewhere in shitsville, tennessee, if that guy was being forced to watch that show. poor bastard.

tomorrow i fly out on a business trip. on a very important day. and i am missing my daughter already. and i haven't even left yet. fuck. how can she possibly do this every day? oh right, she doesn't care.
i have started to think of items in my home in terms of BC and AD. Before Cheating, and After Divorce. Even a thing of handsoap is counted. I guess the goal is to rid myself of most of the BC items so I can move forward.
