Back.... you know going away is always good for the soul... good for what the body needs right?
Well have I got a story for you...
so off to airport we go... way too much baggage in hand on Jan 15th... my bags were about to explode with guess what..... ya shoes, purses and jewelry..... for what .... well every night I had to look good right...... lol....
Day started off with that wicked snow storm, not sure how we will get there now.. my son can't drive his car now.... off we go in ours...
Get up to the ticket counter and Ossie needs a visa to go to the US.... he is a landed immigrant in Canada using his UK passport... so now I give him the look.... told you, you need to become a Canadian after 13 years... this will be the last time we do this..... he agrees... well I start to cry cause they are not letting us go.... nope.... we need that visa.. and guess what... the internet is down in the airport so not like we can even just go online....
I cry more... cry for the trip that I want so badly and for the fact that I am having surgery... ok so I am a big baby... I know.... I can't even speak now...
The Air Canada staff take pity on me and she gets a manager who takes Ossie to his office and they do the visa... yeh!!!
Ossie was so upset by all of this, and he gets upset when I cry.... he told the manager about me and my dark invader and the surgery and when they got back... to the ticket counter where I was standing cause they would not let me go... they were so nice..... I had no idea he did that...
Through the gates we went and on the other side we were paged... we thought OMG what now... and when we got up the counter they told us we are now in Business Class that the manager had upgraded us.. can you imagine... it was lovely...
Air Canada really is the best airline to fly with... can you imagine.. what a gift.... I was so humbled and blessed... how lovely is that..... so the next time we fly.. guess who we are flying with no doubt!!
We only flew home last night... in Ft Lauderdale yesterday waiting for the plane I finally got onto my laptop and there on Facebook I get an email... an email that simply says " Tina did you know Eva died Wednesday?" Eva my sister in law..... died Wednesday... are you kidding... I find out on Facebook.... are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG..... why... I just talked to her before we went away... this is the strongest women I know... she held it all together always... what are you talking about she isnt even 60.. turning 60 in March... what... what the hell happened...
Mel let me use her Ipad to call via Skype... gotta get me that.... and my mom said.... she hit her head... hit her head... and they took her off life supports on Wed... what... she hit her head.... brain bleed.... life support.... are you kidding... funeral Monday, surgeon Monday..... ok I can do this...
We arrive home... wicked headache the phone rings it's Ossie's sister Tina from England... his mom is in the hospital - not good... not even sure what it is... he may need to fly there.. what are you kidding.... no way............... OMG.... surgery, funeral... his mom.... Ossie's mom.......
We were supposed to come home and unpack, rest and relax for 2 days, grocery shop before work and surgery.... are you kidding me.......................
Ok, what is this all about............... what do you make of all this....
ok should I be selfish here and keep focused on this surgery or what do I do... no I go to the funeral home for Dennis tomorrow, for my son - his aunt... her sons and then funeral Monday...
What do we do... does Ossie fly to England... what would I do... he is torn... me surgery Tuesday... his mom... I can only think of my mom... what would I do.. this is a major decision....
not sure what to do... waiting for Tina to call....
I need to unpack and do laundry and grocery shop.... I need to still prepare... I need some clothes for a funeral Monday and I need to see my surgeon on Monday... I may need to book a flight.... for a minute... for a minute I thought about cancelling the surgery... I did... I really did.....
hmmm my way out... ya maybe......
Happy to be home with my puppy.... he had fun at nanny and pappas....
Ok starting tomorrow I continue my Clearing the Clutter Challenge.... hmmmm brought home a few little goodies... jewerly mostly... lol...
Grocery shopping, snow... cold.... oh how I miss the sun and 20000 degree weather....
