Set my alarm for 2:45 a.m. I think that may be the earliest I've ever had to get up, even in my horse sales days I slept till closer to 3:30 - Got picked up by the airport shuttle at 3:45 am (!) and am now waiting to board the first flight of my trip to Chicago. I am meeting up with my mom in Chicago and we'll be flying on to Dublin together. So far the only thing that I realize I've forgotten is a pen to write in my journal with.
