The day is finally here. Yesterday when my penpal Cathy left it hit me. All my distractions were gone (Thank God for all of my distractions by the way!!) I walked back in the house, called Ivan, and started crying. I just realized I was going to miss him and the dogs so much. So after I got that out of my system I finished packing, had to get one last vaccine, and then me & Jeff went to see "Sex & the City." Which was very good by the way.
Then I came home and we all sat around passing the time, watching TV, I walked the dogs a million times it seems like yesterday, and having "last" phone calls with people. Around 10 we went to bed and then I lost it. For whatever reason it just felt like it was the last time I was ever going to see Ivan! Silly I know. We've traveled seperately enough to know that everything's fine. And I know that once I'm there, it will be. But I just needed to get it all out.
So, I got up at 2 this morning, showered, walked the dogs one more time, had some Coco Krispies, and watched "The Soup." (One more thing I'm going to miss a ton! My Saturday mornings ALWAYS start by watching my recorded episodes of The Soup and Best Week Ever.) Then Ivan dropped me at the airport around 3:45, where I stood waiting for Delta to open their counters for 25 minutes. Now I wait. I'll probably make some more phone calls and what not. I'm so tired, and I took the regular dramamine (NOT the less drowsy, because I do want some help just knocking out!!)
Okie doke...write more when I get to my next stop.
Update, 2:00 p.m., Atlanta (11:00 PHX time): I made it through the first flight! 1 down, 3 to go. I slept for a couple hours, watched some TV (thank God for TV on flights), ate some M&M's, and now I sit. I'll get up a walk around a bit. I'm in a much better mindset right now. YAY!
