Wednesday and Thursday

On Wednesday Jeremy sat and worked for HOURS on his computer project for his Commercial Design class. Can you tell that Molly and Lady were loving it?

We went to a nearby Dunkin' Donuts for coffee first thing in the morning, then I made us French toast for breakfast and did some cleaning in his kitchen. The rest of the time I read my book and took my good old time getting ready to leave for home.

Around 3:30 he dropped me off at the airport. We both felt sad to say goodbye. But as I wrote last night, my flight was very delayed due to stormy weather in Baltimore, and I ended up changing my flight home to this morning. Lisa came to the airport to pick me up and I babysat Sophie while she and George went to take a yoga class. (For more interesting details of our evening together, see Wednesday's post.)

This morning I had one more chance to have fun playing with Sophie. As usual, around 7:30 AM I heard her at the bottom of the steps calling, "Memaw? Are you coming down soon?" Oh, I miss her!!!!

No sign of stormy weather today. The sky was perfectly beautiful as I sat at the airport.

The trip home was not exactly that great though. For one thing, I had to take a middle seat. The guy at the window was big and he slept most of the way to Baltimore with his arms hanging out over his territory. I could not sit and relax without having to brush my arm against his hairy arm, and it freaked me out. Then, even worse, he had his arm laying against my lap and he started jerking it all the time while he was sleeping.

The luggage took forever to get onto the belt, the bus to long term parking was very slow to arrive, and I hit heavy traffic on 695. I was hungry, extremely thirsty, I had to pee, and my AC wasn't working right. Talk about misery. Finally after I was on 83 I was able to get off at an exit and go to a McDonalds. After I ate and went to the bathroom, I adjusted something up inside my glove compartment that made my AC work better (a trick I learned from Dick), and I was good to go. BUT then I hit major construction traffic on 30, which slowed me down dreadfully. I went to Destiny's other grandma in Lancaster to pick her up, and then she was starving, so I made another McDonald's stop on the way home. I was FINALLY home by around 6:30. It feels good to be home.
