Happy to be back home in my own bed! I have become a terrible traveler. Not sleeping well and eating differently than normal seems to take a bigger toll on me than when I was younger and traveled all the time.
The flight home was delayed due to a minor mechanical issue and then we waited on the plane while the storm front passed. The pilot actually had them bring the jet bridge back and opened the doors and told anyone who wanted to get off this was their chance. Apparently there is a two hour limit of how long you can sit on a plane with the doors closed before they have to deplane everyone, so he essentially reset the two hour clock. Pretty smart pilot. No one got off! LOL Finally we were underway and arrived almost two hours late. Spent the last two days resting a lot, doing laundry and a little cleaning and getting some basics at the store after being gone for a week. Where do all those dust bunnies come from!!!! All the activities and sporting events are cancelled here. Many restaurants are offering free delivery so they can stay in business. I feel for all of the people who have been impacted by all the snow birds not being able to spend their money. Many restaurants and services make the bulk of their profit at this time of year. I went to Costco yesterday to pick up my new glasses and figured I would get a few things while I was there. I am not out of TP so I did not stand in the long line to get some. I did score some paper towels which I didn't really need but figured I would take a package. I can't understand the run on water. The tap still works, of course we have a filter for our cold tap water in the kitchen so I can just fill bottles and have nice tasting drinking water! The store was so packed by 11:00 the lines to check out went all the way to the back of the store on both sides. You could barely even shop! They finally closed the doors for 15 minutes to allow the people to check out and clear out the store a bit. I am sure it had to have been a huge fire hazard to have that many people in the store. I just wanted to get some staples and now I am done going out to the store for a week or so so. Deb and Joe are coming tomorrow to visit. I am so excited to see them. We are going to go to the outdoor tour at the Turtle Museum. That't it for today.
