Second Verse

same as the first.

Just about when I was feeling fine about tonight’s flight, the SMS dinged on my phone. Flight cancelled. So I spent the next hour dialing, then on hold before I got through to Lufthansa. I turned down the opportunity to take American Airlines flight tomorrow night. So now I am scheduled on Air France through Charles de Gaul. It won’t be as early an arrival, but all the choices on Swiss and Austrian Airlines were long since booked out.

It has been a quiet day. I elected to hang out at the Marriott rather than the military lounge since the Wifi here is faster. I think I have managed to move all the posts from the old Proseknitic.de site to Proseknitic.com  Now I just need to go pull headers and otherwise make sure that everything is down prior taking down the old site (which I can only do from the old netbook which is residing on George’s desk in Heidelberg. Meanwhile, his flight to SFO tomorrow is also affected (best guess is no plane) so he is on SAS, leaving several hours before I get home.

Off to MIA – check in time!

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
