Well, I didn't go home in a towel, but I did get patted down by a female security officer. I was instructed to go stand in a clear plastic box that was open on one side and had a door on the opposite side. The function of this structure eluded me. It could not be for privacy, being clear. It could not be for containment, because, although it had a functioning door, it also was missing an entire wall.
Mystery aside, I stood inside it until ushered through the door and instructed to look at my property. I took a step toward my property, but was quickly told not to take another step, but merely to look. So I did. It did look a tad suspicious, my black wool coat and cheap Mary Janes.
After being patted down, I was assured this was merely a random thing they were doing and was released back into the throng of slightly battered and shoeless travelers.
I have to write about air travel because it helps alleviate my nervousness, which has tripled lately. In any case, I am home and I was going to begin this blog by saying "Oh joy! Joy to be home!"
The statement still stands, though it has been only slightly tarnished by seven loads of laundry, a disgusting kitchen floor, a dog who pooped on the carpet this morning and a sickly husband who requires round the clock care, mostly consisting of kisses.
He insisted, at four thirty this morning, to head into work. I didn't argue; I know better by now. His coworkers, however, promptly returned him to my care by seven thirty, after he had thrown up several times as well as consumed an entire bag of cough drops, two instances which I believe are related.
Afternoon. I seem to have gotten spring fever. Keith, feeling better, headed back into work which gave me free reign. I have rearranged the kitchen and the dining room table decorations. It feels lighter, gives me more counter space and displays the antique white with ivy tea pot I purchased on vacation.
A door mat disintegrated in the wash and I took on too much too finish in one day, but all together a successful day. However, now I want to go and purchase lovely grass weave place mats, white curtains, white candlesticks and cat tails to put in tall jugs on the side of the fire place. And pansies.
