Friday was rough. Headed out to the airport early to hang with Katy for a bit, and about 1/3 of the way there realized I’d left my keys at home. So there was an added hour.  Colleen dropped me with Katy and headed off, and Katy and I hung out with her roommates for a bit before heading to the airport. My flight had already been delayed an hour. It took almost an hour to get to the airport because of traffic, but I was able to sit in Chickie & Pete’s for a bit and have a cheesesteak and a Yeungling. Or two. Then we boarded, and sat on the tarmac for an hour, then decided we didn’t have enough fuel, and sat for another hour. I got to my car a little after 2 am yesterday morning, slept a few hours, and got back into life as I know it. It was  a long, long day. I hate flying. I’m basically anxious the entire time, and I really don’t like not having control of the situation. And sitting. And sitting and sitting and sitting hoping to take off. 

4 weeks until I’m home again.
