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 theContinueContinue reading “Melatonin, jumpy legs and so much vomit”

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 theContinueContinue reading “In which I have a strong fluids game”
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 IContinueContinue reading “Terminal dwelling”
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 satContinueContinue reading “Reunion- the postage stamp version”
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 myContinueContinue reading “Don’t read this post- you will think less of me if you do”
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, forContinueContinue reading “Denver is the goods!! And… another spillage”
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 drinkContinueContinue reading “Suspicious brown stains, lethargy and lots of ice cream”
Good byes, bad entertainment and mediocre Disney check in service
Jet lag finally seems to have departed my body. It was a great sleep after a great day of catch ups, and I woke feeling refreshed. We spent the morning around the dining table just chatting- it went far too quickly. After big goodbye hugs with Lori and Moira’s mom Jean, Moira very generously droveContinueContinue reading “Good byes, bad entertainment and mediocre Disney check in service”
Exploring, a third amigo joins us, and I nearly meet a gopher!
After a less disrupted night from jet lag, it was really hard to force myself to get up at 8:30, but Imanaged. Moira and I bundled off in her car for an adventure involving brunch. We drove out to very pretty Port Gamble to explore. This historical town has an unfair amount of charm. WeContinueContinue reading “Exploring, a third amigo joins us, and I nearly meet a gopher!”
Vikings and pirates are not the same thing.
Waking up in the Viking village of Poulsbo was delightful this morning. My first bagel fort 2024 and some cinnamon tea. I love Moira’s home and the backyard is just gorgeous too. The summer day was perfect, almost more like spring, We hung out, then went exploring down the mainstreet. Poulsbo’s Viking souvenir game isContinueContinue reading “Vikings and pirates are not the same thing.”
