Rolling With The Punches

...or at least I'm trying to.
   This last week was a bit exhausting for me. Had to be at work at 7 am to train in a new TM and still do my normal duties at the same time. So not only was I sleep deprived, but I was stressed out too. My head is already in Minneapolis, which causes me to lose focus on the important things.
   We leave on Friday and will be coming back on Sunday. I was really excited for the trip, but now I'm dreading it a little. I was originally thinking it wouldn't be too expensive, but it seems to be getting more and more expensive by the minute. 
   Eleven has now decided to take her car as well. So that means more gas money I'm going to have to pay. Especially if CPK and Daggins decides to go in her car instead of mine. So I was just budgeting for $60 in gas, but now I have the possibility of paying $150 or more in gas. 
   On top of which all of the things I want to do. They're a couple of museums and some exhibits I want to go to, but that costs money that I have to pay for two people to go to. I really want to go see Hair Spray at this awesome looking dinner theater, but it's $65 a ticket. 
   I should be getting my bonus check right before I go, but there is a chance I won't get it until the Monday after the trip. If I don't get it we'll only have about $350 to use for spending and gas money. Luckily the hotel and movie tickets are already paid for. 
   At this point the main thing I'm looking forward to is Hunger Games, which will probably be the least expensive part of the trip at $18 a ticket. Like I said I'm really trying to just roll with the punches here, but I'm finding it difficult to do.
