First work trip

I'm on my first work trip since moving to TO. All travel to date has been local. Hard to believe its been 3 years since I had to pack a carry-on for work. I used to love going away: the miles, the hotels, good times after meeting with coworkers. However, this time I'm a bit nervous, probably cause it's my first one and it's with my boss. Trying to enjoy it as much as I can. Except the delayed flight over late at night that landed at midnight pst (3 am my time). My plan was to not sleep on the plane. I usually sleep, at least for a bit, but I knew if I even slept for 5 minutes it would ruin my sleepiness for when I got in. I had some reading to do and then I had the wonderful tv system to keep me entertained. I watched a movie and a bunch of tv shows. I brought some raspberries and snacks to eat, and drank lots of water (whic definitely kept me up since I had to get up a few times..) I was doing great staying up during the 5+ hours flight!...... Until the last few minutes of descent, when to avoid feeling nauseous like I usually do, I closed my eyes... And suddenly we were at the gate. Agh!!! I couldn't have slept for very long but I was nervous cause any little amount has a bug impact.

Luckily it was enough to keep me awake long enough to shower, make changes to our work presentation for today, and get comfy. I managed to get about 5 hours of sleep, but woke up a few times. I think I was nervous of not waking up in the morning and missing my meeting with the boss.
