First things first...my sister is doing fine post-appendectomy. Now to summarize the past three days in my life ala-24 (the show)...
Wednesday 7 AM
--Woke up to a phonecall. Decided not to pick up. Thought about who would call so damn early. Decided to check and return my sister's call.
Wednesday 7:30 AM
--After being part in a conference call (both sisters and aunt), I decided that I was leaving that day for New York
Wednesday 9 AM
--Arrived at work, started setting up cell lines so they will be able to survive a very long weekend. Talked to my boss (my primary investigator) told her about my plans. Asked people to take care of a few things for me (my plants needs lots of attention)
Wednesday 3 PM
--Drove to Orange County. Had dinner with the boyfriend,missed him already because its the first full weekend we wont spend time together.
Wednesday 8:30 PM
--Headed to the airport, left my car to the Boyfriend, reminded him to guard it with his life or else no sex for him when I return... haha I'm mean.
Wednesday 9:45 PM (Pacific Standard Time)
--Flight took off. Waited for seatbelt clearance so I can use the bathroom...I shouldnt have that coke before I left. Thought that two of the flight attendants were complete bitches. thought about writing a complaint to Jetblue but decided not too so I can get another free cookie.
Wednesday 10:45 PM
--Damn Damn Damn...I really needed to pee. Not just me but a bunch of other passengers. Pilot still havent cleared seatbelt lights. Eventually, one by one we broke the rule and lined up to use the bathroom. Sat between a Southern lady who was very friendly and somewhat nervous and a girl who seems to fly on a daily basis coz she knows how to sneak in banned stuff! She was trying to hide it but I swear I saw her drink from her nalgene bottle and put some hand lotion...bitch!
Wednesday/Thursday time unknown
--was watching poker on the mini tv in front of my seat. tried to sleep but heavy turbulence in the midwest scared the bejesus out of me. Needed to pee again but decided not to be an ass. Remind myself to take aisle seat all the time.
Thursday 5:30 AM (Eastern Standard Time) 2:30 Pacific
--Plane landed. Had to take two trains to get to the hospital. Slightly chilly, you can really tell the difference between L.A. and NYC. I was freezing but New Yorkers only had shirts on and they were just fine. They also read the newspapers, Los Angeleno barely reads the newspaper.
Hmmmm this is taking a long time, I'll speed it up
Thursday (most of the day)
-- sneaked in the maternity ward where my sister was recovering post surgery, took quick naps on the chair, helped her to go to the bathroom. Talked a lot, watched tv. Finally got cleared to go home late in the afternoon.
Friday (the entire day)
--became the caretaker for my sister. Spent the entire day in the living room, taking naps, eating, watching tv and movie.
Saturday( sometime tomorrow)
--will go to NYC. Shop for some clothes because when I packed I forgot that half the clothes I was supposed to take, I left on my bed. I've been wearing women's pj's and the same pants for 3 days. Will meet old roomy and her girlfriend to spend an afternoon in NYC.
Sunday (sometime two days from now)
--will fly back to L.A. Spent some time with the Boyfriend in Orange County. Head home to LA coz bestfriend #1 will need a place to stay for the night. Then back to the whole routine for me.
