This is Monday

We had plans for today. A few things before we fly out at 742pm.

Well, things changed. Mostly because my daughter woke up with a fine hangover. And, like her mother, it was the end of the world.

She got the waste can from the bathroom and took it to bed so she could puke in comfort. I guess. I felt ok. I ate. I drank coffee. I was dressed and ready to go. Marika was in bed a couple hours more.

Finally she went vertical and took a shower. Got dressed. Mood and health did not improve.

We finally went out to lunch, it was late. We went to a place we had been before, NOLA Poboys. And I got a quintessential NO item, Crawfish Pie. And it was really good. Marika has water. Water is good for hangovers.

After our fine last supper, Marika wanted to go back to the hotel. She is very sick to her stomach. We went back, and since we have no room, she and I went to the pool and she fell asleep on one of the covered chaises. For about two hours. At which point the heavens opened up and the rain really came down. We ran inside.

It was close enough to 4 I figured and we called Lyft. And within five minutes we were headed to the airport. We have flights on United to Sacramento via Houston.

We have super econo fares so we are not allowed to carry on much. United required us to check most of our carry ons at $30 each bag. So much for a low fare. They suck.

And better yet, you only get middle seats in the back of the plane. And you can’t sit together. Lovely. I just know these flights will suck.

Other than sitting in the middle seat, very uncomfortably, the flight had nothing remarkable. Took forever. Very boring. I read a book the entire time.

We arrived in Sacramento after midnight, had to wait twenty for our bags, and we met Emily at the curb. And off to Auburn. And immediately to bed. We were whipped.
