3 May 2024 – A Zombie With A Headache – Hahaha
Tue30Apr: arr 0700hrs@IAD and the best time to stretch my legs with hardly any one in my way – walked from C-gates to take the train to A-gates.
Such a contrast@A&B-gates, bright&clean with hard-floors(all public buildings should have hard-floors for hygienic reasons) and flags of the world&US-states – morning walk up&down here a couple of times, still not too many ppl yet.
Took refuge here for some quite moment as more ppl turned up after 1000hrs – thoughts of the 2004 movie The Terminal with Tom Hanks after roaming around ~5hrs@IAD.
~2hrs flight to CAE departed on time taking off by all these private jets (probably the only time to see so many private jets!) to an airport that is impossible to get lost in unless you are not sober-hahaha! Tkx to 1stBorn for meeting&picking me, always appreciative when she is able to take time off her major hectic schedules – single mom full time teaching,coaching,etc, and now with gradaution on top o preparations ahead.
Jetlagged@the year ending IrmoMIddle&HighSchool concert where both paternal&maternal grandmothers are beaming with joy&pride(also proud that I managed to keep my eyes opened) for their grandchildren(#3,4&5 for me) in the orchestra – first of the many events for this trip.
There are grandmothers out there who would move heaven and earth for their grandchildren – JE-Howard
Wed: what a special moment it is to be able to lunch@OliveGarden with #1grandchild, just the 2 of us catching up and running errands for the early afternoon. Blessed with her for wanting to spent time with me&for being my driver, especially all the way to #4RegionalTrackMeet@RichlandNorthEastHighSchool. Hot late afternoon with the scorching sun, not the best time to be under and despite of a splitting headache managed to watch her run 3events with her last one just in time for the beautiful colours of sunset. Appreciations&tkx to Jeff for driving me back to YachtCove.
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns it calls me on and on across the universe ―
Thu: what a start of a glorious day to catch up with 2Born on the phone. Thought that I will get away from the MarineTerraceMRTstation construction in SIN but looks like construction follows me here but thankfully not so dusty&noisy with digging up a lawn as to digging into hard concrete asphalt – woodpecker is still here to accompany me for my morning cuppa on the deck. Enjoying the grocery shopping with all the selections&space@Publix/MurrayLanding.
Fri: lovely peaceful morning walk with the surroundings and its natural habitat despite for getting up ~0100hrs this early morning and unable to fall back to sleep until ~0300hrs! Hope to stay awake to go suitcase shopping later with 1stBorn.
