It seems that the chaotic energy that left me with a well-ventilated car yesterday is still in full operation. Now my sister and her family are delayed by three hours flying from Chicago–the website only says “because of crew.” My dad called me, because Jill called him, and said that they thought it had something to do with a pilots’ strike at United Airlines (or, as I call them, Untied Airlines :-p). I hadn’t heard anything about a pilots’ strike! So, right now, I’m still planning to go up to the lake and cook dinner for approximately the same time for me and dad, and I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that my sister & Co. get here at all! Tomorrow, my brother-in-law is booked to meet his brother in upstate New York for this three-day skiing jaunt, with all their kids, for which I presume they have reservations and whatnot, so that could get all snarled up. And I’ve got to get my car over to the dealer tomorrow so I can get insurance claims and repairs underway!
I’d already gotten my workout done, the litter boxes changed and the bunny cage cleaned, and was just changing clothes to leave when dad called, so at least all of that is done.
On the bright side, I don’t live in Baghdad. And, I definitely don’t have to worry about carbon monoxide building up in the car while I’m driving! It’s also nice weather today, 41 F (5 C) and sunny. About half the snow we had has melted in the past three days, with the milder temperatures and rain.
Merry Christmas, everyone! 🙂
