I hope it is a successful and fun weekend for all of your family, Sheryl.

My flight connection was 2.5 hours delayed (at least…we haven’t boarded yet!) I am going to be so tired when I get home after midnight after waking up at 5am east coast time!!!

…three and a half hours after it was supposed to take off we are still on the ground and waiting to go back to the gate. At this rate I fear our flight crew will time out and ill be spending the night in charlotte!

….and I spoke it into being. Flight crew just announced they timed out. Aaaaagh.

Ugh, not fair of the universe to keep piling on you at this time.
I took Mom out to lunch at a new local lounge that has an assortment of charcuterie boards (also salads, pizzas, and dips, but we opted for a shared board to snack on) and then stopped by my place where she got to pet Jackson for the first time. He didn't purr, but he seems to have lost most of his fear of her thanks to regular visits.

OMG, I hate it so much for you. What a massive soul-crushing disaster on top of all the other shit.

We finally took off, and landed about 4 hours late. I should get home about 24 hours after I woke up. Yikes. But the good news is the Uber prices are back to reasonable amounts (last time I landed here late maybe a year ago, it was $90 to get home, so I took an actual taxi because it was cheaper!) and I think I can use some of the Uber eats gift cards my aunts sent to pay for it. I can’t wait to sleep.

I do hope you are in the deepest and most restorative sleep, meara. I'm sorry for all of it. Try and do as little as possible for the next few days to try and recover some.
