mom's house.
i'm at my mom's house in NJ. we arrived last night.
packing was fine because i did most of it on wednesday. i usually have a lot of anxiety about packing, but this time everything went off without a hitch. the flight was fine too. initially we both got middle seats in the same row. we tried to go to the agent and get our seats changed, but there was no agent. imagine that! so we tried to switch on the plane but the mean aisle people just stated how they would never sit in the middle. finally john convinced the window guy next to him to switch. so i got the window. i took 4 mg ativan before boarding, and that helped me to go right to sleep. i can't usually sleep at all. as a matter of fact, i took way too much! i was seeing double when i got off the plane! good golly!! and i think i'm a bit hungover this morning. not with bad feelings, but just still seeing funny.
the worst thing is that our luggage is lost. the airline was supposed to drop it off in the wee hours this morning, but hasn't. john looked online and the interwebs do not have any idea where our luggage is. of course there are horrid things in there to lose. my meds, cigarettes (everyone keeps laughing at that one but wait until they see how i am without them), my computer, tax files, digital SLR, my boots, my favorite sweater, all my cords for computer, camera, etc. sigh.
there's no half and half here at mom's. only 2% milk, which at least is a step up from the skim she usually buys. so the coffee is weird. i'd make tea, but my cardamom is in my luggage.
my mom is now putting together wee gift bags for us with toothbrushes and deodorant in them they are packaged in a bag that says it comes with a smile. sweet.
