I arrived at the airport to pick up Drew with 20 minutes to spare according to the original flight details. Upon arrival at the airport I learned the flight was delayed by an hour and a half. Of course I’d checked the flight status before I left the house but it’s an hour long drive to the airport from home – there’s nothing like having an international airport named after your city that’s located FAR ouside city limits – and the flight delay was posted after I’d left the house. <\/p>\n
So Drew will arrive home around one am. With the time zone jumping that will be three am for him. Guess the night blind freak is driving home after all. <\/p>\n
If I’d been smart I would have thought to book us into a room at one of the airport hotels. Foresight is apparently not one of my strengths outside of a work environment. <\/p>\n
Thank goodness for Timmy’s. While I wait I can load myself up on coffee and try to learn to block out smells while I breathe. The young man on my left is eating very stinky Doritos and the older man on my right is reading “les maths pour les nulls”. I am experiencing flashbacks to jr high math class as I type. I wonder if anyone has managed to get a PTSD diagnosis due to school related trauma. <\/p>\n
Once again the iPhone keeps me occupied. Between short tweets and visits to Facebook I am reading one of the books in Kim Harrison’s Rachel Morgan series. Had I the foresight to brim earbuds with me I could have been listening to music while reading my ebook. And of course it allows me to blog in an attempt to make the time pass quicker. <\/p>\n
Once again the military spouse practices her waiting skills. Soon. It’ll all be worth it. Sleep well everyone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
