Well, I don't know where to begin. I did not get to go to Hawaii. We spent almost 3 days in airports getting delayed due to weather. Half our group made it. After hours and hours in lines and airport food and nights in hotels and uber rides we all had to foot the bill for, we opted to have the airlines fly us home to avoid another hotel stay and more meals out Nd an air flight to Maui from Honolulu. The airlines just wore us down. Then we would not get our luggage until the day before we had to leave. It was just one disappointment and nightmare after another. I am going to try and get points reimbursed as the airlines did do a screw up, but they told me to wait a couple of weeks as phone lines are terrible.
So, what did I do besides grieve? I stayed the first three days with Sissie. I curled up in her basement in the dark watching crap TV. Then I went home during the daylight hours and worked on the yard and did things besides sewing. I went up to B's and made freezer meals and did some deep cleaning and decluttering. She is quite sick with this pregnancy. I refuse to sleep at my house, so I wasn't alone. I know not a very mature reaction. But part of going on a trip is to be with people. I am alone most of the time. I am back in the shop and sewing again for the first time in 10 days.
I am still crushed but I must say the weather in Maui was crap, so I didn't miss mush there. I would have had fun with my friends. Just a huge disappointment.
My new chicken coop is almost done and I love it. Signe' and Nate have worked so hard. My birthday is tomorrow and they are trying to finish it for my birthday.
Sissie and Dan were so funny. They tried to do a hula for me. Then Dan took a bunch of dead daffodil blossoms and pinecones and made me a makeshift lei. My best buddy brought me over a Hawaiian pig sandwich, which was very good.
Sissie and I deep cleaned the shop this morning and moved her machine into the shop and did some rearranging, so I have my dining room back.
Anyway, I am home and working and that is what is important. Anything happen important out there?
God is good, even if her sends bad weather.

Holy cow girlfriend, that is quite a non-vacation. Glad at least you weren’t stuck in a horrendous small airport somewhere, but still. I am sorry it was a train wreck. Yet everyone is safe and sound and you are okay…guess that is most important. Welcome back to the coal mine known as life ;). Hilogene in Az.
ReplyDeleteI am so so so sorry. I am not sure, since it happened while you were gone, if you know that PP’s Tommy died? I think she said March 14th. I am suppose to fly out West to see grandkids in a few weeks and the lines at Atlanta at 4:30 am are out the door. It is unbelievable. I hope you get another vacation soon and that it is fun. Virtual hugs. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. You worked so hard before to be ready. Hopefully another chance will come soon. It actually was mature of you to realize you needed people and utilized your support system.
