Oh jetlag,you're obscuring the beauty....




I’m home!


Wow does this place look beautiful! I had the best flights EVER too. Unfortunately for you guys, they were also the most uneventful. On my long haul flight. I had 2 seats all to myself, the bathroom was just 2 rows ahead of me and the stewardess winked at me and gave me two free drinks and said “ it’s on me.”




The (only) good thing about being a little shrimp is you’re able to curl up like a fetus and actually fit on 2 airplane seats for a nice, real sleep. I read some, watched “ The proposal “ which I had seen before, but it was still good. The only bad thing about my entire flight was …..naturally ,I chose the wrong food. They said “Pasta or beef stroganoff” I thought beef stroganoff, you know with noodles. mmmm. Nope. I got rice with some sliced beef gristle. I wound up making myself a lettuce sandwich.




Then ,an hour and a half before landing we got a “snack” . I was starving by then and what do we get ? A nice little tiny pizza covered with one of my most hated things, mushrooms. Of course I picked the mushrooms off the damn thing and ate it. Not to mention the entire bag of cashews I had eaten during the flight.




Once I got to Chicago, my youngest son was there to meet me for a 2 hour visit. I was shocked to see that it was only 47 degrees in Chicago. BRRR!! My next flight was from Chicago to Little rock. One of those dinky 3 seats across planes. We had a male steward and he also gave me a free drink. LOL I must have looked broke or something.



I finished the book I was reading and was landing in Little Rock before I knew it.

By the time I got my luggage my girlfriends were there to pick me up.

I jokingly told them “I’ve been drinking since noon ,your time.”




Then of course we had to happy hour together once we got to my house. They stayed until about 8:30 and I immediately went to bed. I was afraid I would sleep half the day after being up for about 26 hours (less my fetus nap) but nope, I was wide awake at 4:00 this morning.



I managed to scrounge up some coffee and sweet and low ,but no creamer any where in the house .I had to use a frozen diet chocolate pop for creamer. I had given away all the food before I left .It was sooooo nice to see my house. Everything looks so huge . LOL the dishwasher, the sinks ,just everything.




I had to go cancel our mail forwarding, go to jiffy lube and the grocery store. I was afraid I would have forgotten how to drive after not driving for 7 months. Luckily ,that wasn’t the case. Boy was it nice to see my truck too!



The cable man was here when I returned from those errands. That took forever and my vonage phone is still not working. But I have the internets and cable. So I’m good right now. I’ll worry about the phone when I’m not so tired.



My house has mouse poop all over the place ! It looks like they’ve been having a field day in here while I was gone.



I have a million things to do …..and I’m tired. Soooooo tired…….

I honestly can’t even think straight because I’m so tired. Hope I can get regulated back to normal time before I have to drive to Dallas.



Happy whatever day it is :)



To be continued.......

Glad to read you have made it safely home !
You were treated like a Queen on those flights, and I thought customer service was a thing of the past.
I know your happy to be back in the USA, rest up, and keep us posted what you're getting up to :)

Welcome home! I know you must be glad to get back to God's country. Mice? Whatcha need is a couple of cats in the house - those mice will evaporate in a hurry. I betcha you can arrange that. Your truck thanks you for taking it to JiffyLube and I thank you. G5
PS No attendant ever gave me a free drink on a flight. But then - I look like a grumpy old man - but I am not grumpy.
