10:30am – Office assures me that everything will be okay.  She can sense my anxiety. I should just try to take a chill pill and keep my blood pressure low.

1:30pm – Things go south at work, but I have to leave for the airport.

2:45pm – We are through security at the airport, but the flight’s already been delayed.

4:00pm – We’re on the plane in Pensacola but delayed at the gate.

6:30pm – We’re in Dallas on the runway, but there’s trouble getting to the gate… We’ve missed our 6:40 flight.

7:00pm – We’re rebooked on the 8:30 to OKC and finding dinner.

8:30pm – It’s delayed until 9:15.

9:15pm – It’s delayed until 10:15.

10:15pm – We’re sitting at the gate, but we are not cleared to take off because of the weather.

10:45pm – We’re cleared for departure, but there are 7 planes ahead of us on the runway.

11:45pm – We’ve landed in OKC, but there is a plane at our gate.

12:00am – We hope our luggage arrived with us.

12:15am – Luggage in hand, we set out to find Jamie and Stacie’s car.

12:40am – We get a drink and a snack at the gas station.  Taco Bueno closed at midnight.

1:00am – We arrive at the house, and Jamie just feels sorry for us.  They’ve spent the evening at the ER. Stacie had awful abdominal pain, and they ended up missing graduation as well.

We woke up this morning to a new day.  We’re not quite right today, but puppies and Penelope are making it better.
