Woke up at 6:00AM. My throat is still kind of
sore so I woke up in the middle of night few times. After taking a cold
medicine, it was a smooth sleep until the morning. The temperature in the
morning was 33F, just as predicted. The radar shows some snow in the
southern Indiana. Went to work on time. I had to make a field trip, and a
phone call to competitor to get some information. I had an evening meeting
so I did not come home until 7:00PM. I cooked noodles because I was not in a
mood of cooking rice because of a trip tomorrow. |

I needed to go to other office from today, so I
left my apartment around 8:30AM to pick up my rental car. I got a 2006 Chevy
Cobalt this time. The car runs okay but both trunk and gas tank cover needed
to be opened by hand. It's a pretty cheap car. At least I can drive okay. I
drove on I-69 to the north, when I reached to Michigan border, I saw a pack
f cloud looks like bringing snow. Just as I predicted, it was snowy when I
was driving on the I-94. The road got really slippery in the night and I had
to drive carefully on the way to the hotel. Had lunch at Burger King, and
dinner at Red Robin's. I hoped to get burger there but I cannot just eat
burgers all day so I had a salad instead. My cold is getting worse.

I could not sleep much because of the cold. I
woke up at 6:00AM and stretched my body. Now I am getting my cough bad. I
reported to work at 8:00AM, had meetings with customer whole day. I had
lunch with coworkers at a Japanese restaurant. I went back to hotel around
8:00PM, picked up some medicine at a grocery store and dinner at Applebee's
on the way back. I went to bed by 11:00PM but kept waking up because of the
cough. I think I worked too much today... |

Woke up at 6:00AM. Had breakfast at the hotel. I
start to drove back to Indianapolis around 8:00AM, but became very sleepy on
the way. I had to take a break at a rest area for about 15 minutes. Came
back to Indy around 1:00PM, stopped by office to do the paperwork. Went to
bed around 11:00PM after calling home with sick voice.

Just came back from a business trip and now I am
heading to Mexico for another. I have been sick quite a while so I hope I
can get over with it. The plane left for Dallas Fort Worth. Unfortunately a
storm was threatening our path so instead of approaching from the northeast,
we had to fly to northwest before landing. The plane to McAllen was okay and
had no problem, got picked up by a shuttle van to the hotel and spent
evening okay. Went to a restaurant near by, and also a convenience store to
get some water.

Arrived at airport and only to realize the
flight has been canceled. I used the power and internet connection at the
airport until noon to work on the assignments. Got on the plane and arrived
at Dallas Fort Worth. I could take free offer to the first class upgrade for
the flight to Indianapolis but I did not feel like it, until I saw them got
served with dinner! Next time, I will not miss my free upgrade. Came back to
Indy but had to work on the report so I stayed at office until 10:00PM. Went
to bed around midnight.
 I am
glad my business trip days be almost over, for now... |
| 11/10 |
I did not get up until 8:00PM. I must have been
pretty tired. I got showered and headed to work. Stayed whole day just
taking care of the stuffs. It was a bit humid but I liked it that way
because I don't like the rapid transition from the hot to cold. Stopped by
bank in the evening before heading to home. The sky was pretty in the
evening although I know the rain is coming.
 The sky is
pretty in the evening. Although it is dark because of the rain cloud

Woke up around 8:00AM. I did
not feel like going to gym so I just decided to take things easy. I went to
run in the afternoon but had to give up because my left ankle and right knee
hurts. Stopped by haircut place to get refreshed. Unlike last weekend. I had
my time and not coughing so I was able to talk to my mom on the phone for a
half hour. Thanks to the end of daylight saving time, I could just go bed
before mid night. It used to be a hard thing to even call my home. |
| 11/12 |
Woke up around 8:00AM. It was a bit colder but
not cold enough for me to wear something extra than usual. Went out for a
walking in the morning and headed to work after the lunch. I stayed there
until 9:00PM and drove to Meijer for grocery shopping. I came back to the
apartment, relaxed, going to be on time. What a nice weekend without
traveling all over the places. I needed a stuff like this. |

We might even get snow shower by the night so I should take care of my stuff
early today and go home on time. Stayed at office whole day except for a
customer visit. Left office on time but had to stop by a post office and
also Meijer for gas and groceries. It was just keep raining and I thought it
could get worse over night, possibly turned to snow. The evening hours were
pretty tough because my joints have not recovered from the marathon I ran a
couple of weeks ago trigger some pain in cold and humid environment. Oh,
man... |

Woke up at 6:00AM, the temperature was at 31F. I went to work on time and
spent whole day there. I was able to leave work on time. Because the PS3s
hit the store today, there were so many stories about it, like someone tried
to rob folks in the line, or even got shot. In Carmel today, some disorder
had to be controlled at Circuit City. |

I had pretty good sleep and did not wake up
until 8:00AM. Went to gym for the first time in a while. I had to stop by
office to do more cleaning but came home before dinner. Went to BestBuy to
grab a game for the holidays. I saw a couple of tents and about 20 people in
front of the store, I was wondering if BestBuy to offer extra units on
Sunday so I asked what's going on to a store employee. I found out they are
waiting for Nintendo Wii, a new game console. The guy told me some of them
were in the line for PS3 a couple of days ago. I cannot believe some people
have so much free time. |

Woke up around 8:30AM. Because I went to bed
late, I was not feeling too well from the morning. It was sunny from the
morning and warm. I opened up the windows to get some fresh air for about
half hour, but the outside got gusty so I had to close them. Writing journal
for the trip for the afternoon and evening. Emailed few friends. The daily
high in 60s. Pretty warm, |
| 11/26 |
Woke up at 8:00AM. I must have moved around
while I was sleeping so I lost a cover and was a bit chilly. I went for a
morning run but only to find out my right knee still needs a time. I think I
will only walk for now. Went to Best Buy to pick up some sales items. A 2GB
USB memory for $40, and 1GB SD memory for $15. I had no interest on other
stuffs. Went to office to work on my stuffs, stayed until the outside gets
dark so I cannot read. I stopped by Meijer before heading home. I cooked
curry for the week. Spent evening just reading books. Another warm day but
expecting cold weather in the middle of the week. I have not used heater for
a while. |

Woke up at 6:00AM. I am not sure if I should
thank the warm weather for the couple of days, but I could not stay in my
bed too well. Able to walk outside before going to work. Stayed there but
found out one thing. My coworker went to lunch one hour ahead. I did not
realize my laptop PC still set to CST. Came home around 6:00PM after taking
care of much of stuffs.
When I was reading a news on the internet, one of the articles talks about
some kind of underground trash system. This is to be used in Carmel's new
center and already in use in Disney World and Taipei 101. with 4'x4' tube,
they vacuum the trash... I guess now things comes together when I saw the
construction workers were burying many steel tubes right north of fire
station. Went to gym to work out. My first time my arm blocked master's
practice chop. HURTS! I need more arm muscles... Going to bed around 11:00PM |
| 11/28 |
Woke up around 6:30AM. No time for running but
began washing my cloth which I forgot to do last night. Went to work, and

[Windows Vista went on sale for business
customers today]
Woke up at 6:00AM again but this time a bit sleepy because of the rain, warm
air, and tiredness. I went to work around 9:00AM. I had to drive under had
rain and I did not like it. I stayed there until 6:00PM and left to home. I
had to drive under rain, in a dark. I hated more. I stopped by Meijer before
arriving home to get some canned drinks for work, and filled up tank. I
think the gas price is going up again. I finally picked up my package. I
ordered two pairs of running shoes from Finish Line. They were cheap but
took a while to get here. Kansas had plenty of snow and MO and AR are also
having a hectic day. Sorry for them but the storm is coming this way.
Actually we were under flood warning for whole day. |
