Is this an omen or what....for some unknown reason I am meant to stay at home!
Hurricane Sandy....when was the last time, this year, that we had to worry about a hurricane in our area?
Just when we (Charlie and I) were planning on attending our niece, April Halvorsen's (Charlie's sister Cathy's daughter), wedding in S. C......everything was going along just fine.
Charlie made his reservations, along with his sister Mary, booking a flight down and back home for a long weekend....a few days later, with me feeling as good as I do and not doing chemo, I thought it would be nice to get-a-way especially for a wedding and to get a chance to see Samantha.
The best laid plans.....When Charlie went to print out our boarding passes only mine came up....what the heck happened....he booked his own flight and it was confirmed and then when he did mine they cancelled his???? without them telling him???? What the heck is going on?! and then only giving you 24 hour notice (to print out boarding passes) to find out. To make a long story short (which you all know I have a hard time doing)....he booked a flight from Newark to Charlotte, N.C. (a mear two hour drive to his sister's house, rather than the norm 1 hour drive from the closest airport in Greenville/Spartanbur, S.C.)....now the fare is not at the first (less expensive original) price...it's now almost $800.! To book both of us? Way too expensive! and then knowing the hurricane was coming - I just wasn't comfortable going.....so is this an omen or something?
One of our last family vacations was during Thanksgiving week - our cruise - from NYC to Fla, Nassau and someplace else -- which we never got to! A nor-east-er!!!! In the end of November!!! We ended up on the ship in Virginia!!! never got any farther than that.
I tell you, I am not a person to leave my home!!!
Now to pray that Charlie and his sister come back home on their scheduled flight = Monday, the 29th to arrive in Newark about 12:30 pm......
Before all this, I had been talking to a friend, wondering if I should take Dramamine....a short flight....then heard the weather forecast and bought it....packed my luggage...then found out about this error in the flight arrangements......Dramamine stayed home with me, as well as my suitcase!
Nicholas was going to stay here with Jersey, Marlee and the cat....and one night (Sunday) he was going back home for work in the morning and not having to commute from here; Joni (our neighbor) planned on sleeping here with the pets (as they were never alone at night before).....and now, I have plenty of food, a clean house, and boredom!!!!
Okay, done venting....I'm feeling fine.....not sure when I will begin chemo. Dr. May would like me to get a scan first and I may have to wait a full 8 weeks to do that for the insurance to pay....I will find out next week what our schedule will be.....
Hope we all survive Sandy!!!! Our generator is ready for a 'full house' run - water, TV, refrig., oven....all the basic necessities that we never had with a power outage.....I'm ready for anything!!! Well, just about anything!
