Whew!

Whew, indeed. I had thought I was flying to California on Thursday.   I just happened to call up the e-ticket online and look at it…only to learn I was leaving on Wednesday.  OMG.

Having figured this out,  I doubled up on my gardening work…doing approximately one week’s worth in 1 1/2 days.   My back is now attesting to that.   Luckily, it’s raining today, so I’ll just stick to packing and other indoor pursuits.   Oh, and have to run to the library for reading material for the trip.

I’m eager to see the CA branch of the family.  I was last there in November for the girls’ 6th and 2nd birthdays.   That was just before their move north, so the house will be new…can’t wait to see that, either.

On Friday night,  I’ll babysit so Diana and Dave can get away for an overnight.   We’ll find out just how good Grammy’s stamina is.   Sigh;  hope I can keep up.   I’m so accustomed to working in short bursts and then relaxing with a book or newspaper.   With a two-year-old, I don’t think that pattern will work.   I’ll find out soon enough.

Meanwhile, tomorrow is travel day.  Leave here at 8:20 to catch the bus in Michigan City, IN;  then fly out of Midway (my favorite airport) to San Francisco where Diana will pick me up.   FUN, FUN, FUN!
