Bad travel day

-Got up too early - the birds again at 4A. The serenade was nice and I managed to sleep a little more.

- Get to bus station by 7:30A to get to catch Heathrow Express.
Cried all the way from station to Heathrow.

-Heathrow very crowded but smooth process to gate.

-Didn't sleep on plane

-Chicago airport insane. Felt like a cow being hearded.
Get off plane go thru customs, get bags, get on too full train to next gate, back thru security, re-check bags, go to security again all with massive amounts of people. they were all pleasant.

-Feel like a zombie functioning on half my brain cells

-wait for 6 hour lay over

-realize i'm walking thru the airport with my fly down

-Find out my flight which was due to leave at 6:45P is not leaving until 8:26P

-wander around more among throngs of people

-the handle on my bag breaks aaaarrrggh

-flight postponed again to 9:21P

-finally boarding I realize I've left my new favorite vintage jacket somewhere. quickly try to retrace my steps while I hear the final boarding call. No good, can't find it.

-flight is packed - I'm the last one on.

-finally at home can't find my bungi chord left that at Heathrow I guess

-now I'm in my own bed
I called my work to let them know I'm not coming in.

i'm sorry you had to come back, but i'm glad you're here. can't wait to see you. in august i cried the whole flight home and didn't sleep. i pretended i was asleep so i didn't freak out the people next to me on the first leg.
