Adventure complete

Really, it's Adventure, Pt. 1, because I still have to manage to get back to California...

After a METRIC CRAP-TON of airline/airport SNAFUs, my plans for my trip were FUBAR and completely changed. My luggage, including my uniform, was lost. I had to get transportation organized on the fly at midnight.
On the upside, I was able to help another Marine to get to his family a little bit quicker than the airline would have gotten him there. It was a rough night.

I was up for 24 hrs, managed to wind down enough to get a couple hours' sleep before the funeral, and made it the whole way through the funeral, graveside service, and luncheon. Then I passed out in the car for about two hours, and when I was awake enough to get myself inside, I made it as far as the couch for another four hours.
