Am back

[oyceter]

Am home. Too tired to have sense of humor. Lost pronouns.

Plane at Chicago was delayed for five hours, due to weather, then air traffic, then weather again. V. v. sick of sitting on airplane, especially in row right in front of extremely angry baby who screamed for the entire time.

Due to plane delay, missed BART to car and was charged exorbitant price by taxi.

Delicious lemon basil vinaigrette from farmers' market broke in luggage, too stupid to put in plastic bag earlier in the day. Am too tired to be raging mad. New book on women authors and their favorite fairy tales found at Room of One's Own (ok, stolen from heresluck, who really found it) has been stained by vinaigrette. Entire suitcase soaked. Clothes soaked. Hate smell of vinaigrette now.

Showering now so can stop smelling like vinaigrette from aborted rescue mission of books and clothes. At least knitting project escaped unscathed, or fury would be immense.

I am flying into and out of Chicago over the 4th (wedding) and am just dreading it. Hope the shower and sleep helped and stuff was salvagable.

Urgh, best of luck to you!

Sleep has helped some, though am now dreading piles of laundry and dishes.

Oh dear. :hugs:

Oh nooooo!

I'd have to say that, overall, all my airplane experiences sucked (though none were delayed), in several cases because of rowdy teenagers or rowdy soccer punks sitting behind (kicking my seat) or near me.

Perhaps I will report on the farmer's market later today. Would that be cheering?

[oyceter]

Yes! Reports of food are always good!

I think that was the worst airplane trip in a while; generally I do ok on them.

But urgh. Also, my entire bathroom now smells like vinaigrette, since I tried to wash out my suitcase there.

Ooh -- Mirror, Mirror on the Wall? I love that book.

[oyceter]

That is indeed the one!

That sucks! At least you made it back in one piece.

[coffeeandink.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am sorry.

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

Oh no!

This really was the jinxed WisCon of doom.

*hugs*

[oyceter]

It really was! I hope the hotel was able to sort your luggage out!

[heresluck]

Oh dear -- I'm so sorry about the vinaigrette! I should have thought to suggest a plastic bag...

[oyceter]

Yeah... I was thinking the same thing when I chucked it in my bag, but nothing's ever broken in there before. Go fig.
