I worked from 7-5:30, traffic was hell so I didn’t get home until about 6:15, let the dogs out and rode for about 30 minutes. Although it wasn’t what I had planned, I’m chalking it up to, “It’s better than nothing”, especially when all I wanted to do was come home and drink wine.

Today I got (was required by my boss) to present to a group of health and wellness employees from the U of MN at their annual conference. I presented two breakout sessions on Advocacy 101. The attendees were pretty good and even got my jokes! (I don't really do anything 100% seriously). The enthusiasm for the material and great questions almost made up for the fact that there was somewhere else I really wanted to be today. Work commitments can blow but I am grateful this one wasn't a waste of my time. And I even made it back to Milwaukee in time to make a meeting I was very much looking forward to attending. All in all, if I had to be away for work this wasn't so bad.
