The Week That Wasn't

Yup, that was this week. It's passed me by with the blink of an eye. My middle son had a job interview in Louisiana this week - he left on Tuesday, had to take two planes, a bus, pick up a car, drive an hour and check into a hotel. This was all new for him. He hasn't flown on a plane since he was younger. He sometimes gets overwhelmed so I was a little worried. Is there ever an age that we don't worry about our 'kids'? He made it there okay, but I stayed up until after 1am on Wednesday morning just to know that he made it to the hotel lol. The interviews went well on Wednesday he said. Today he had to do the reverse. But of course this is February in Michigan. We had another snow storm. Louisiana was lovely and warm and he will be coming back to below freezing temps.

Anyway he managed to find his way back to the airport and drop the car off. His plane leaving Louisiana was delayed. The company he had interviewed with (and had made all the travel arrangements) rang to let him know and say he probably wouldn't make the second plane, did he want to rebook for a later plane? He asked what I would do. I said to do that because if he did make it in time for the original connection the airline would probably let him on it if there was space. Good thing he did! His original connection was cancelled. He made it to Chicago airport and is waiting to see if the later plane actually leaves. The weather now isn't too bad here, but I think everything is backed up. Fingers crossed as he has to go to work tomorrow.

Most of the day I've spent worrying. Sigh. The life of a worry guts.

I did start a cross stitch. Hoping to finish it up tomorrow.

While I was sorting this I remembered why I had so many lying around not opened. It's not easy to work out which strand is which - cream, light tan, very light tan, tan - groan - there isn't a lot of difference in colour.

I didn't walk today but, as there were some nice snowflakes, I decided to give photographing them a go. It isn't easy. I did manage a couple.
