Circuits & Coffee

Woke up at 6:45am and realized we both slept through the night wonderfully, minus one sleep interruption around midnight. We packed our day bags and headed downstairs for hotel breakfast, which mainly consisted of coffee, Skyr (Icelandic yogurt), and eggs. We filled up our water bottle and headed outside to a giant white lifted jeep.

Town car was 15 minutes early, which was perfect because we had just fed the cats and could use the food as a distraction to slip out the front door. We had a calm, stress-free drive to the airport and everything went smoothly. Except for the TSA checkpoint. 

Apparently, the drawstrings on my sweatpants have metal tabs on them, which threw an alert on the body scan. In my frontal area. So, I got the deluxe edition of the "pat down", which involved what looked like tai chi. Katie also got stopped, but lucky for her, it was her bag that caused the issue. It appears that if you have a bundle of 3+ protein bars in your bag, it looks like a suspicious brick.

It has no doubt been a stressful election, and trying to start your day with news you may not be happy with is tough. Music is a way I like to relieve stress. Tycho has been one of my go-to "chill" artists ever since I discovered him a couple years ago, and he recently released a new album titled Epoch. These beats don't try to lift your spirits, they don't try to make you feel a certain feeling, they simply let you be and extracts the stress you might be feeling.

Over the weekend I completed a reading marathon of Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles, excluding "The Slow Regard of Silent Things". This series has been recommended to me for a very long time, same as when I was a virgin reader to George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. I can't say why I couldn't make it through "Name of the Wind" the few times I tried. It wasn't because I thought the book was dull or anything, I simply hadn't read past 20/30 pages, and would forget about the book when I put it down.
