Back from Cape Fear ...

I flew home today. Wasn’t in the best mood for these flights. Cut the arrival at the Fayetteville Airport close because couldn’t find a gas station close to the airport, so had to turn around and get gas, made several wrong turns and long detours. Had the worst orange juice ever and a homemade egg and cheese biscuit that was worse than any one McDonalds ever served. Stood behind small children and old people who haven’t been on a plane yet this century. I’m ever so patient when people have no clue what they are supposed to do in the security line. Had a headache right behind my left eye that was pulsing like it was being stabbed repeatedly. Found my ipaq completely empty of battery power. My carry on doesn’t fit wheels first in every airplane.

However once I got on the flight from Charlotte to Providence things went better, I had a piece of pizza and some Mello Yellow, the headache went away, started reading Serpent by Clive Cussler. First book in the Kurt Austin Series, I think I am going to like this series. The seats had power so I could charge the ipaq. I dropped my empty soda cup as I was passing it to the stewardess and ice went everywhere, luckily no one was sitting next to me in the middle seat. I had a window seat which was nice especially on the approach to Providence. I almost got plowed into on the way home on 295. Some idiot didn’t look, didn’t signal and went right into my lane as my front bumper was parallel to her rear bumper. Then she changed lanes again with no signal. I hate that! Get off the road you stupid cow!

I’m home no, so things are more calm. Day of ups and downs, in more ways that one.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
