A week worth noting

This week has been a big one. So I will signify it with some photos as a placeholder. And as of tomorrow, I start a new job, one that means I need to discard my t-shirts and crocs and don professional attire!

Melatonin, jumpy legs and so much vomit

The long wait at the deserted gate at the airport became even longer when our flight was delayed an hour and a half. Some passengers began to drift in. They tended to settle around where I was, and not just because of my magnet personality. 😂 The charging station I sat next to was the…

In which I have a strong fluids game

My stay at Skyways was 100% better than last time. I had called ahead because I was afraid it would be closed by the time I arrived. Of course LA is 2 hours behind and they don’t close until 2 am so they were up and awake. ‘Just come to the foyer and ring the…

Terminal dwelling

It was a rough night, tossing and turning with knee pain, and a belly full and roiling with injera bu wat. I tried to be as still as possible for my little bed buddy, Sheri. She got up around 6:15 in order to catch her shuttle to the airport. Tears were shed! Lisa and I…

Reunion- the postage stamp version

(Several images have been taken by my reunion-ees) Well, the reunion is sadly over. We all just enjoyed the reconnection. It was brilliant, cup-filling, home-coming, affirming, recognition of kinship…. On and on I could go. I will try to summarise each day just a little Thursday afternoon: When I last posted, I had just sat…

Don’t read this post- you will think less of me if you do

Last night after I went to bed was interesting, but really it could have been a lot more interesting given where I was staying. Because someone was already in bed, albeit awake and with their curtain open, I scrabbled around in the dark, trying to get myself organised. It took much longer to find my…

Denver is the goods!! And… another spillage

I had such a great sleep, or at least I must have as I don’t remember it. The 4:40 alarm was effective and I was in my Lyft by 5- headed for the airport. I found a really good puzzle book at the Seattle airport and have been looking for one like it since, for…

I’m not in Kansas anymore but at least the showers are hot

Waking at 4:30 had its advantages this morning. I had time to shower and use the gorgeous shampoo and conditioner one last time. However, you cannot adjust the water temperature here, you get what you get and you don’t get upset. This morning, for some reason my shower head chose tepid for my crack of…

In which tomorrow’s Michelle will be very grateful!

I am so glad I swapped parks today, hence taking advantage of early entry at California Adventure Park. My body was already unhappy at the 7 am lineup at the first gate; before I put it through a 25 km/12 hour day, the first 9 hours uninterrupted. My hotel ticket came with Genie+ and I…

Suspicious brown stains, lethargy and lots of ice cream

Last night while drinking Dr Pepper in bed and laughing at the Impractical Jokers, I knocked the drink all over the little beside table. Using one of the little wash clothes from the bathroom, I mopped it up. When i woke this morning, and began tidying up, I noticed I hadn’t rinsed the brown drink…
