Almost A Houseguest

All of my teammates who left yesterday have made it home. We had a meeting, and we're back on Slack chatting, just like old times. 

Except one. 

My buddy B decided to spend an extra night here so he could enjoy some DC yesterday. He went to the airport this morning and then sat on his airplane for ... 4 hours. 

They offboarded them at 4pm. He messaged me and I told him he could stay here, we'd keep him until tomorrow if no flights were available. But he managed to work with the travel department for our job, and they rebooked onto a 6pm flight.  

He messaged me at 8pm. Everyone was freaking out all around him, because somehow - their flight left without any passengers. 

Gone.

No one knew what was going on. Now, my buddy is 30. He's very sweet and gentle. He is a sweet summer child from St. Louis, and I am a momma bear. So I adore him and hate to see him come to any stress or harm. I don't know how many times in the last 3 years he's been on a zoom call with me crying through something bad (personal or work related). but I'm there for him at all times. 

I've changed the bed sheets in the guest room. I've tidied up the bathroom and kitchen. Dishwasher is running. 

Ooops. Flight didn't leave without them. Gate changed and no one working at the airport knew what the hell was happening. 

They were suddenly all swept into a line very quickly and put on a plane. He repeatedly asked the flight attendants "Are you sure this flight is going to St. Louis, because I think people may be a little confused around here." 

They assured him ... yes. St. Louis. 

He texted me at 11pm to tell me he made it, it was a horrible violent flight. But he was home. 

Sad to not have him as a house guest tonight but very happy he made it home. I also realized we didn't get any nice pictures together. Hopefully next visit. 

My sister and her husband also were flying today, down to Ronnie's nephew's graduation in New Orleans. They were delayed repeatedly, and Lin texted me to let me know they landed. AND the bonus extra hour for being in central time was her reward. 

I didn't take any pictures today. We had horrible weather aat 5pm, so I rescued Geoff from work and when we got home the sun was out. So weird. 

But the picture I'm sharing today is from linda, from her hotel. 223 comes back again. Digits below. Because of all the B drama, I didn't go to the gym like I thought I would, but I did get a short walk.
