Tonight is indeed a right-to-bed night.

But we made it to Wyoming and back to Colorado! The show was... mixed - fun, but not terribly successful in terms of competition.

The drive wasn't too bad - it was still snowing this morning at the apartment, but it had still barely stuck to the road. The roads were only even slightly slick on overpasses. We left the apartment a bit after 6:00, which was slightly later than intended (as we were aiming to be at our destination by 8:00.) Didn't quite make that - wound up there closer to 8:30, but it worked out okay. Once we got to the northern part of CO, the snow completely stopped and the roads were dry, lol.

We saw pronghorns and bison, which is about the best I hope for when having to go to Wyoming, haha.

We did have a power outage overnight, which had been warned of with the heavy snow on branches and such. I don't think it was off for long, but did go out at some point before 3:00. And I know the time because... I woke up around 2:50ish and the power was on, but the TV had gone off and the microwave/stove clocks had reset.

And then I never went back to sleep.

So I am ready for bed right now, ha.

I'm absolutely terrified at what I'll walk in to dealing with tomorrow. Coworker who was covering the office today did text me at one point that she was overwhelmed. I had tried very hard to leave her with very little she needed to do, but that was before we had the driver no-show, and then presumably resign. I don't know if any of that fell on coworker, or if something else went badly.

(She is new, and her usual office is my manager's other office, which is a small office in a smaller town, as opposed to my usual office which is one of the moderately busy ones, so this outside of what she ordinarily has to deal with, even though we have the same job description.)

I feel like tomorrow may be an exercise in repeatedly reminding myself that I just have to survive for 9ish hours... I just have to survive for 9ish hours...
