22nd Feb...forever remembered

Woke up feeling somewhat fresh. Quickly got the bed linen and the balance of clothes to the laundry room. Had a very long shower, and got dressed. Today was gonna be a long day..not realizing exactly what it meant. The dream bugged me. Cldnt figure out why but i had this bad feeling in my guts. The good feeling was that everything cld fit and was not over weight. So my bags was going to go through. We ate in becos it sort of drizzled again. Then Edna said i must try out the Crepes..so ok, we did. As usual, serving was huge..managed to eat the nutella, banana and strawberries filling. Absolutely filled up. Then it was time to get ready to go Justin's school as the volleyball team was having a meet the parents session. Ok, this was going to be an interesting event to attend. For some reason, i told Wei we should load the bags into the car, so we don't have to rush back. Then i looked at the ticket..boy oh boy..the date hit me..flight was 21st Feb 0025am..and today is...??? The sick feeling in the stomach. Then quickly called the number to check whether there was a flight tonight and whether i cld still get on. After a long call, i was told no since there were no seats. The best chance i had was to pay for the ticket. Then the call to try and check on available seat plus the price. And the stupid lady..well i know its a 1 800 number, so they can host the service anywhere. But when i asked her where do i pickup the tickets downtown, she said ya, downtown. Then i asked her where, she said 'India"..what kind of training did these people have??? I felt like i was in a dream, playing out the role of Alice in wonderland trying to get out. Not wasting anymore time, we decided to go to Justin's school since we had to bring the cake. Thank God for Edna and Melody...when you are frantic and cant think straight, you will not be able to do the next right thing. They both did and God Bless, got me a seat. Of course, in between i was asked whether i really felt up to it to get on the flight as i havent fully recovered. What to do, i wished i had the luxury to delay further, but work responsibility calls, incl the pay checks for myself and everyone else. So no matter what, i had to take the flight. So we decided not to risk further and checked in once the counter was open. Discovered that there was only one plastic wrapping service and one guy manning it with a lot of other bags in queue. Decided to risk not wrapping and headed to the counter. Sweet young lady, checked me in quickly plus helped me to wrap separately the hiking poles i bought for my parents, otherwise it wld risk being squashed through the x ray machines. See, when you honor your parents, you will be "rewarded". Some blessings of sort will follow. And my cough was getting bad. Beginning to feel sorry for my fellow passengers already.
