I’m sitting at the airport now.  My husband and I’s favorite restaurant here, it’s a little Irish pub.  I ordered a hot chocolate and the breakfast poutine…both very different from what I’d usually order but I guess I’m feeling that way today.  Being here without him feels really weird…and I’ve only done this trip once or twice by myself about 5 years ago.  It’s 5am – my flight is scheduled to leave around 7:30 – boarding starts at 6:45.  It took me all of 5 minutes to eat my breakfast…well a few bites anyway.  I should have known that I wouldn’t be hungry before my flight.

I’m now sitting at my gate….an hour early.  I asked when I checked in if there was any way for me to get on an earlier flight home when I make my connection instead of a 5-hour layover…but unfortunately it’s full.  I am going to have to find something to do with myself at the airport for that long.  I’ve already read both of the books that I brought along to read.  I know there are quite a few stores there so maybe I will be able to find something around there.  There are supposed to be thunderstorms later in the afternoon, I’m hopeful we will miss them and everything is going to go smoothly.

I’m so tired…we had to wake up at 2 – I checked my clock at 1:38 so I was up before the alarm went off.  I really hope I can sleep on the flight and just relax.

I’ll update when I get to my connection.
