Going back to work today meant things picked up. Way too many meetings and such today. Got some answers regarding the ALA trip to New Orleans. I'm able to go and use my 2017-2018 funds, but only if they're all spent before the turn of the fiscal year. For the airfare and registration, no problem. The hotel not so much, since hotels usually charge at the end of the stay. I don't want to eat too much into my 2018-2019 funds. :/ So I'm still working on it. I guess we'll see. Otherwise it's quiet here. I miss you. It's strange not having you at home in the evenings. Love you and miss you. ~Lauren ax07 wrote: Hi sweetie, Thank you for sending her a message. Things are alright. a few minor bugs, but nothing that can't be handled so far. It's honestly kinda quiet here too. The one nice thing so far is that most of the crew are from Sri Lanka and the cook asked if I liked sri lankan food last night, to which I said yes and now I'm able to eat some of their food. Lunch today was byrani (birani?) don't know how to spell it. It was tasty though. *hugs* I miss you too. I'll be happy to be home soon also. Love and miss you, Zach
