This post is missing sleep questions and the like because I'm filling it in a week later.

I had trouble staying asleep. I guess I'm so used to early morning flights for travel that my body assumed I was having one again (even though the flight was at 10). I woke up around 0330, and finally got out of bed around 0530.

I decided to make waffles for the trip to QUAKECON. Whilst making waffles, I did 1.5 hours of non-pomodoroized work. My reasoning was it didn't count as real work if I didn't do it in a pomodoro. I ended up mostly finishing a task I had wanted to finish in the week.

Then, I finished packing, and the wife and I took a Lyft to the airport. At the airport, we got some coffee and some hummus sandwiches. On the plane, I did a sudoku puzzle in my head, and listened to some Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

On landing, we dropped our stuff off at the hotel and went to a place called Tommy Tamales. They had trouble with our order and gave us a full refund and extra food. Great customer service, great food. Will go again next year. After tamales, we went grocery shopping at a nearby Walmart, we got:

  • Tofurky deli slices
  • Meatless meat balls
  • Dave's killer bread
  • Earth balance vegan butter
  • Potatoes
  • Tofu
  • Rice pasta
  • Chilli

We get to the hotel, we eat half our tamales (the other half is frozen and will be eaten with tofu at a later date). I go wait in line to bring my computer to the BYOC area.

I fall asleep in line, there's a photo.

I have to wait until the next day to get the rental equipment.

Solid first day.
