Fly Me.

My hubby and the 17 YR old are in Edmonton now; they got in around 3 pm yesterday. It's supposed to be a 4 1/2 HR flight but took them 4 HRS 50 minutes( almost 5 HRS!) which is even longer than it takes to go to the Caribbean( 3 1/2 hours) but Canada is  a really biiiig country. They stay until Tuesday and then go to BC to visit the girls but that's just a short flight because Alberta and BC are close; next-door neighbours, and then next Monday late they come back. I was following them on the flight tracker and when it said they were at 7200 feet I knew they were descending and would be landing soon it suddenly said CANCELLED in capital red letters  which freaked me out because that's what they put up on the board when a flight disappears off radar; if it crashes or disappears from the sky(and take-off and landing is the riskiest time)...so I frantically checked around for their flight status and it said elsewhere landed and taxiing...

whew!

What a relief!

It turned out that the "cancelled" was referring to the exact same flight and flight number, place and time for today that had already been cancelled due to the blizzard!LOTS of flights both yesterday and today are cancelled or 3 hours or more late. They got out just in time,too, because yesterday we did geta  big snowstorm( 10-15 cm or so) and we have another one now  too, expecting at least another 25 cm or so, maybe even up to 40 cm!.

I also asked my hubby to take photos of the kids and e-mail it to me but(so far,anyway) he hasn't and yesterday the 30 YR old and his GF dropped by briefly but then left again and she parked her Jeep in the driveway(our car is in the airport parking lot and hopefully won't get jacked) and now the neighbours will probably think I have something "going on" with my hubby away and our car gone and a strange car in the driveway, ha,ha, and the 30 YR old seems to have noticed as well I never refer to his GF by her name but rather as his GF or by her initials but the truth is I can't say her name without laughing because it's such a hillbilly name( think along the lines of Jim Bob, Billy Jo, Bobbi-Sue, Cindy Lou, Billy Bob, etc.) and I can also do this weird face that looks exactly like Nosferatu, one of the "bonuses" of being ugly, I guess, and I just realized being home alone in the house just Buddy and I( I love as it's so nice and quiet without the 17 YR old always running around and thumping and banging and slamming the kitchen cupboard doors,etc and I can blast mi Reggae as loud as I want,too, and re-name the Google Home device to Cock-Bite, Chode,etc. without my hubby always changing it,etc.) if I died I'd be left decomposing for days and no one would even know, and boy, what a stench when the guys finally get back!

yeeeeccchh!

It's sort of funny as well I've been to 39 countries but only 2 (out of 10) provinces in this country, and yesterday I burned the top of my mouth on hot pizza/melted cheese and now I can feel a flap of skin hanging down and earlier there was a bubble that popped too that was squishy and blood came out, and I no longer have a sense of community anymore now,either; I used to before at times with my friends in the YMCA group in Ottawa and as a homeschooling mother and the groups I belonged to there and also in faith communities when I was a Jehovah's Witness and a Mormon( not so much in the Catholic Church though) but now it's just me all on my own.

I don't have anyone to really "connect" with now.

It's just Buddy and I.
