All this week, Adam is working at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill. The hotel is within walking distance from Union Station. In the mornings, we will drive into DC together and he will drop me off in front of my office building at the corner of 8th and G streets. At the end of my day, I will take the train to Union Station. I'll walk to New Jersey Avenue, to the hotel, and meet Adam in the conference room he is setting up the computers in.
Today was day one, of course. After heading out of Union Station, I went the opposite way, as I have an abysmal sense of direction and cannot often remember which way to turn. I was still able to find the hotel, it just took me longer and I took an unnecessary route. Compounding this was the heat and humidity, the classic Maryland August AAAUGHHH OH GOD NO MY EYEBALLS ARE FRYING dog day ninety-five degree weather. By the time I got to the Hyatt, my foundation had begun to melt on my face, my eyes felt poached, my blouse was drenched, and I wished I had my inhaler.
Tomorrow, when I get out of Union Station, I'm taking that right turn.
Oh, and the migraine has eased. It still hasn't rained, but I can hope.
