In just a few hours I will be on a plane with Ruby headed to Minnesota to see my family. Last night I couldn’t sleep because all of the sudden I became paranoid about the plane going down during the flight. I kept thinking about what I would do/say to Ruby to comfort her as we went down. Ugh. I always get a little paranoid before a flight, how those heavy-ass panes get off the ground and stay in the air is beyond me, but usually I can force myself to NOT think about it lest I induce an anxiety attack over the whole thing.
All that aside (because I’m not going to think about that anymore) I am trying to have a better attitude about how this flight will go. Not exactly looking forward to being on a plane with a squirmy 1-YO but I am going to cross my fingers that things go well (please go better than last time) and that the seat next to me at the back of the plane remains empty. That will be instrumental to Ruby’s enjoyment of the flight. Ample books and snacks will also be provided in attempt to appease the she-beast.
The weather in MN is a balmy -10 with the windchill. Woo! The weather had been unseasonably warm-up until this week. Figures. Since it’s 55 here at home I am packing our coats and putting them on before we leave the airport in Minneapolis. Ruby hates her puffy winter coat…and her hat…and I haven’t even had to attempt gloves yet!
I can’t believe it is so cold in MN! It’s been in the 70′s here in Cali. Hope the flight was uneventful. Happy travelling!
