Is it my Imagination or....

What! Traveling lately, which I have been doing a lot of, seems to be more difficult these days. Planes never seem to arrive and leave on time, making it nearly impossible to plan anything on travel days. My latest experience was in NY. I drove in from Wilmington, which should have only been a nice two 1/2 hr jaunt, and ended up getting stuck at the Verazzano bridge for more than an hr, then got stuck in traffic on the Belt Pkwy, reaching my destination at JFK airport 2 hrs later than anticipated only to find, thankfully, that my flight had been delayed. I was supposed to leave NY at 4:50 and arrive back home in SJ at 9:00pm. We ended up leaving around 8 pm and arrived in SJ at 11:30pm. I felt horrible for hubby, as he had to work the next morning. We didn't arrive back home until after 1 a.m. Julio's flight out of JFK the previous week had the same problem as did our friends out of LaGuardia. I am beginning to think there is a conspiracy of some sort going on with the airlines that will cause another huge rate hike soon. My trip from Atlanta in July was a disaster as well.

I spent the last couple days back home just unwinding and unpacking. My box of paintings arrived back yesterday, all in good shape. I was concerned about my encaustic piece, but it fared very well. I have a few more things to do before getting back into the studio to work. A trip to SJ today will keep me out of it today. But I am itching to get back to work. There is a pang of guilt though, as my house is feeling neglected after 2 weeks on the road and there are things that just need to get done.

Off to workout upstairs now for a bit before heading off. My two week journey afforded me 3 more lbs that I really didn't need. And since the wedding is less than two weeks away, I don't have much more time to shed extra weight. I am having nightmares about this strapless wonder I must wear soon.
