I've been meaning to share this photo, but I keep forgetting.
My husband took this from his hotel room. It's boat that is a hot tub (or is it a hot tub that is a boat?) that does "cruises" on the River Thames.

I could hear him moving around and I kept telling myself I'd get out of bed in a minute and I just couldn't. My Fitbit tracks my sleep and I was in deep sleep for much longer than I usually I am last night. I just slept so badly all week. My husband's plane landed at 7 PM and he had to fly into Newark, because he "relocated" up there. He went to his apartment, took a covid test, showered and drove back. It was an 8 hr flight. That is a long day and I was really concerned about him driving back after being awake for so long with jet lag. He said he was fine. 
I'm so sorry!! Hopefully you are fully recovered by now! We just got back yesterday and it's in the upper 90s and we have no AC, so it's not fun. I hope we don't end up with covid alongside it! Did you get sick while you were on the cruise, or just when you got home?
How did you get it? Doesn't everyone have to take a test before they get on the ship? What a nightmare! We thought A might have caught it on the way to the US, but he tested negative. By the time we landed in Denver, he had gone through an entire pack of kleenex...his nose was so runny! But we tested him and he was negative...we waited a couple of days, tested him again, still negative, and then he was fine, so it was just a cold. None of us got sick.Three out of 10 of us are positive (me, husband, dad). My mom has symptoms, but has continued to test negative for 5 days straight. My brother's family seems to be fine, although, they had some illness issues towards the end of the cruise. I think omicron also went through their home in June...so that could have helped them. He and my SIL have to test all of the time because they work in hospitals, which is also probably part of why they got it before. My kids are both still negative and no symptoms. School starts Tuesday, so I'd like a little bit of normalcy!
Oh my goodness, how awful! I take it his trip went through as planned? So he is already over there anyway? How long does the exam take? I hope it works out for him to just stay over there rather than having to come back!
I'm so sorry! It sounds like she has a good support system around her...that's good. Was she close with his family? I think it's good for her to get away. How is your husband feeling? I'm sure it's hard, even when it's not your biological parent. It's still someone close, family.Good morning-
Checking in with a workout called Burpee Bonanza. It was not fun and after I started it, I remember this was on my mental "never do this workout again" list. I might go for a walk later, but I opened up the door to feed the cat earlier, I was smacked in the face with oppressive humidity. It's too early to be so humid.
Anyway, my MIL called my husband last night to say her partner passed away. His family had all been to say their good byes and she had just left the hospital when they called to tell her he was gone. So, it's almost like he hung on until he got to say good bye. My SIL lives 2 miles away, so she'll be there. I asked my husband if he was going up, he said he didn't know. She did tell my husband she is still coming over in a few weeks, because she thinks it will be good to get out of the house. My MIL has a lot of friends. Seriously. She used to come to WDW with us and on one trip went to Walmart to get some food. She ran into a friend. In Florida!
I don't know about your husband, but I find it much easier with the jet lag going to the US than I do going from the US to Europe. Coming back here, you lose so much time! We had to get up at 2am to get to the airport at the recommended time....they say 3 hours before an international flight, and our flight was at 7:05am. The first shuttle from the hotel doesn't even leave until 4. We turned our car rental in the night before and took the first shuttle to the airport at 4. We got there at 4:25am, so we were a little later than recommended, but it took no time at all getting checked in and getting through security. Our bags were too heavy so we had to pay extra, but it wasn't bad otherwise. Then we got to Atlanta and had an 9 hour layover. By the time we landed in Amsterdam, we were exhausted. I slept for several hours on the plane, but I was sitting one row ahead of the rest of them, and there was a baby that cried more than half the flight right behind them...I was so tired I slept through a lot of it. And I guess they kept messing with the tray tables so it was like someone was kicking their seats. None of them got to sleep. We were glad we paid for the van to come pick us up and drive us home. We needed to get groceries and neither of us felt like it would be safe to get in the car, even for a few minutes. So we just walked to the store near our house. Then E and my husband crashed while I unpacked my suitcase and carryon and did laundry. I ordered food for A and myself, because everyone else was still passed out. But going over wasn't nearly that bad....we got there at like 10:30 pm, rented the car, went to the hotel and crashed. Got up the next morning and we were mostly ok. But we got the hotel room so we wouldn't have a long drive right after the long flight.Good morning.
I did a cardio workout that used weights to get the heart rate up. It was good, because I didn't have to do any jumping.
My husband came home last night. I felt bad, because I didn't get up to say hi. It was like once I knew he was on his way home, my body was like, "Ok, we can sleep deeply now."
The weather is great here, lower temps and much lower humidity. I am going to get some much needed yard word done and get out for a stroll.
Glad you are feeling better!! Allergies are the worst, aren't they?? I came home with something going on with my eye. My lid is all swollen and it hurts. Hope it will go away on its own!
Yes, he was able to fly direct, thankfully. I was shocked that his return flight was just over 8 hours. That seems long for that route.
THNX. Nothing at all. The store manager admitted fault and told me how to file a claim if need be
even told me to go the hospital for an X ray. I noped out of that because it was ds' birthday and I had to get home and cook, wearing ankle braces. Thank goodness most of the food was prepped so there wasn't too much time I needed to be up on my feet
Oh that's sooooo sad! I'm so sorry! A friend of mine lost her husband when he had a blood vessel that burst in his stomach I think? He was in the shower, he shouted out to her, then just collapsed. So tragic when it happens so suddenly and there's nothing you can do. I hope your MIL doesn't feel like she could have done more. Sometimes it just happens too fast.
