I am at the airport, prepping for my flight out -- thankfully no delays this time. Though I'd frankly rather be delayed from a 2pm flight than a 7pm flight (this seems like tempting fate. I'd really rather not be delayed at all).

It has been a remarkably quiet visit; perhaps I burned through all my travel-unpleasantness credits with the 1am arrival on Saturday. I did at one point threaten to medicate both my parents into pleasantness, but they were bickering and at least it shut them up. Possibly because we are all reaching an age where my ability to medicate them is drawing nearer on the horizon. Deo volente it is still many years off, even if sometimes I want to slip a sedative into the family meal.

Last missive before I get onto the plane and head to Chicago -- I have to head through Houston first so I won't be home until tonight, but it will be good to be home and I have tomorrow off, so that's something. And unless I fall off the gangway or something, I have successfully navigated this trip with no injuries. Touch wood.

Oh Sam, you just totally jinxed yourself.

That is the exact thought that went through my head. :)

I hope that helps....

Safe home! I'll be arriving in Chicago on May 19. The weather was nice when I was there in April, hopefully it'll be even warmer this trip!

I will admit there is a part of me that will laugh my ass off if you're next posting includes some story of random injury occurring. I sincerely hope you make it home in one piece unharmed, but you really shouldn't tempt fate.

As ever, I am amused by our travel coincidences: I just returned home to Houston from, well, a state over from Illinois. (And the first time you moved to Chicago was the same time I left for college in Indiana.) I'll wave in the general direction of the airport tonight!

Touch wood.
Lol, I don't even watch the show, but that looked like "Torchwood" to me.
