So......staying busy is not really a problem. Had 11 kids, ages 5-13, in the house today - the whole neighborhood. W emailed twice, once to let me know she arrived and once to tell me how amazingly "lush" the hotel and her room is.
(For those late to the thread - Ws trip is a "training meeting" to train a group of us who work at the same company; though the training is specifically designed to for what I do I was not invited by Ws boss because of "budget limitations"......though everyone is being put up in the nicest hotel in the city, eating out at the nicest places, taking private tours, etc.)
I waited to respond, responded with short, happy emails.....
