Despite being absolutely zonked when I finally crawled into bed, I had problems falling asleep, because my brain decided that 2.30AM was really the best time to start processing all of the information I had accumulated in the past few days.
For the first time in days, I had some quiet time last night. As I waited for my perpetually delayed flight out of Dulles. Unfortunately, there is only so much you can do in an airport, especially when you have to schlep all your stuff around with you, lest it be destroyed by the overeager Homeland Security guys. So I did some reading, called the Cheese Fiend, balanced my checkbook. And checked the board as my 8.20 flight got delayed to 10.20, 10.45, 11.05, and finally boarded at 11.30.
Fortunately there were only like 20 people on the flight, so we all got to stretch out. And despite the hassle, everyone remained pretty chill. Annoyed but in good humors. I remained as zen as possible, but did worry about how I was getting back from the airport. As it turned out, I caught the last orange line train out of Midway, the last 36 uptown (yes the 22 is 24/7, but for all its good qualities, punctuality or predictability aren't 2 of them.) Blearily walked home from the bus to put my Pee Wee's in the freezer, shower and head to bed.
Spent the past few days in Virginia doing all flavors of family things, from the low-key visit to Charlottesville, to the high-impact reunion schedule. Caught up with cousins and lots of eating. And taking lots of pictures and moving in large crowds. So I have alot to catch up on. Will post more after I drink more coffee.
on the iPod: "Strange Little Girl" - Tori Amos
