Home Again...At Last

This Post is for November 10 2008

7:20 am - It looks gray again but I don't think the sun is up yet. I had a killer of a head ache last night with the whole body joining in. I'm still feeling sore this morning, but I started my TOM two day early, so maybe that what it was.

8:47 am - I made breakfast out of the vending machine this morning. Cheese crackers, Poptarts and soda. Could you possibly eat any less healthy.

11:22 am - I'm sitting in the St Cloud airport with what looks like the other ten people who will be flying the whole eighteen minutes into MSP with me. [I came in on Saturday with only 3 other people]. I'm not sure how airports this small and so close to bigger cities keep going. They are even building on [the power of positive thought].

6:04 pm - I'm in Detroit, just one more flight than home. They've been good trips so far. I have 3 hours here, which gives me time to sit and enjoy dinner with out feeling rushed. I read a whole book on my travels today [OK its a short book]. I'm going to miss all the travel from this fall. I really miss C and M, but it will be nice to not feel like I'm making Gr sad and to take my house back.

Leaving Ely

4:28 am - I was up much earlier than I planned, but the time changed last night and my cell phone didn't reset the time. I got out of the house with out waking C or Maple. down side of the morning though is that I lost a contact. Good thing it was time to change them anyway.

7:00 am - I'm in Duluth with way more time than I need to catch my flight. I'm doing breakfast at Perkin's



8:16 am - The rental car is returned and now I begin the wait that will bring me home. I just got off the phone with Big E, where we re-hashed the game again. I still can't believe they won [I've never seen C look so happy]. I'm sitting in the coffee shop in the Duluth Airport, since they have seats that you don't mind. At least my first flight will be comfortable, I got an upgrade to first class.

12:06 pm - I'm in Minneapolis. I've had lunch at Quizons and A & W Root beer, and now I wait again. I wish my first flight had taken me closer to home, it was a new plane and very comfortable. My reading a book right now called
My God she nailed her subject way to close to home. Being an escape of wife abuse twenty-three years ago this book is bringing a lot of those feelings back. I was lucky to have a friend save me when I couldn't.

10:12 pm - Thank God I'm home. Granger still loves me, the house is a mess, there is way to much laundry to do, and I'll be buried under paper work at the office tomorrow. It's good to home, and I'm going to bed.
