Had some damp eyes yesterday as I hugged her before watching her disappear onto the train. A friend of hers came down to wish her off which was sweet.
Doesn't help that we're in the process of moving so running off two hours sleep, carrying crap since 4am and came home to an empty, but still very messy house and it's pouring rain. (Kerrisdale of all places - not my cup of tea as it's all $4-$8M homes with no one around. Opposite of what I want. I'm a layabout drunken artist
A few days to myself is usually a godsend but this time... ugh... have to finish moving, clean the place...
Plus get all my art and easels to my new studio.
So make sure you have the essentials, charge your electronics and heed any evacuation orders and you should be a-ok. You said you're being paid through this which is also one less thing to worry about.

No
Work still open I was just cut for the night. We have everything we need believe we will be fine but following these mappings is hard to understand
Especially when the weather apps I use geolocate me at different spots. Thankfully the NOAA app is spot on.
NOAA and local news is always your best bet. You guys have some great meteorologists in the Tampa area
Are you flying American? Guessing boarding group 5???
Safe Travels and enjoy! Ask for a double!

Only thing Im worried about is im supposed to move in a few weeks to a house thats been worked on with my girls and partner. Dont want the house to get messed up and further prolong it.
Its also their first hurricane.
Friends of mine are snapchatting outside and at the beach so either their crazy Florida people, theyre used to this or this isnt major.
Is it humanely possible to sleep on the plane?
And, for those of a certain age, remember when you used to dress up to fly?
Yes, Virginia, we did that.
Now, I avoid the nightmare that is contemporary flying at all cost, for several reasons.
And if I absolutely have to fly, I'm going to dress for comfort in coach.
(I've actually never flown first class. My sister Mary Kay has never flown coach. I'm a cheap bastard. She has her standards.)
Weed!

I feel ya, as the kids say these days.
Sometimes when it rains, it pours. There's no way around it; you have to go through it.
Take it easy as best you can. "It'll be alright,"

The Sumner Tunnel has finally reopened. Here’s what you need to know. - The Boston Globe
After a two-month closure that shut down a main route from Logan International Airport for critical repairs, the Sumner Tunnel reopened Friday.

The Sumner Tunnel is scheduled to reopen Friday after a two-month closure that shut down a main route from Logan International Airport for critical repairs to the nearly 90-year-old structure.
Here’s what to know about the project and the state’s plans for future closures. Yes, unfortunately, the work isn’t done yet.
When did the Sumner close and what are they fixing?
The tunnel closed July 5 for repairs as part of a major restoration project that includes the removal of about 75 percent of the ceiling and the installation of a precast concrete arch along the upper portion of the tunnel liner for added fire protection.
With the ceiling largely gone, officials say, drivers will feel less confined as they pass through the tunnel.
About 25 percent of the tunnel will continue to have a suspended ceiling, according to state transportation officials, who have said that workers will install new ceiling materials along that portion.
The project also includes the installation of fireproof wall panels as part of a larger overhaul of the tunnel’s fire protection system. That includes a new fire standpipe and updated alarm systems.
Also being repaired is the air duct below the roadway that circulates fresh air into the tunnel.
There will be new lighting throughout the tunnel as well as safety improvements such as new security cameras, an upgrade to the computer system that monitors and controls tunnel conditions, and the replacement of pumps that remove rainwater from the bottom of the tunnel, officials have said.
The top two inches of the road will be replaced with new concrete and asphalt. That work will be completed during next summer’s closure, officials said.
Wait, did you say next summer’s closure? How many times are we going to do this?
A couple more times, sadly. The state transportation department says on its website that the tunnel will close on weekends from this fall to next summer.
“During this time, traffic will be diverted through signed detour routes,” the agency says. “A schedule of these closures is being finalized.”
And next summer, the tunnel will be closed completely from July to August, MassDOT said.
So has MassDOT stayed on schedule for tunnel repairs this time?
Looks like it.
“The tunnel was scheduled to be closed through August 31st and reopen on September 1st,” MassDOT spokesperson Marshall Hook said by email Tuesday. “This schedule remains intact and MassDOT expects it to reopen sometime early on the morning of the 1st,” which is Friday.
Hook said nearly all the work planned for July and August has been completed.
“As of yesterday afternoon, 95.6 [percent] of the planned work has been completed, with 94.8 [percent] of the scheduled closure time passed,” Hook wrote.
I do! When we emigrated to Canada, I had a new suit - I still remember it, navy blue and I thought I was so grown up (9 yr old girl). It was a memorable flight - my mother looking out the window over Greenland (I believe) and panicking that the plane had "stopped moving".....lol The most traumatic part of the flight for me was some turbulence that sent my beloved Spirograph wheels flying - I never found the tiny wheel
It was also the first time I ever tasted Coke, and we got free plastic airplanes.

My routine for sleeping on red eye flights was book economy plus, put the tray table down, fold a sweatshirt like a pillow and lay my head on the tray table. worked like a charm

Dressing well for flights is ingrained in me. My Aunt worked for Air Canada and would get me free flights as a kid but I had to be 'présentable'.

IF you were a boy they would have given you those airline pilot wings (sic).
May I ask, where did you emigrate from, and where did you settle in Canada?
Not these days. I haven't "dressed up" since I was in my teens, and I'm almost sixty.
Moderne airline travel = Dante's Seventh Circle of Hell.
I watch the now "normalized" spectacle of stranded, delayed, bedraggled and exasperated air passengers on the NewsHour nightly summary, and thank God that for the most part I am no longer among them.
Remember "Going postal"? I'm surprised that hasn't happened in the airline industry -- whether it be passengers, flight attendants or pilots.
I would go out of my mind were I delayed on the tarmac for three hours, never mind the other stuff.
There but for the grace of God go I...
I was hoping for a Uranus joke inserted in there, but alas, it is I who stand alone in this island of immaturity
I alluded to this somewhat cryptically recently, but my partner and I have been undergoing IVF treatment. It's a whirlwind both physically (her) and emotionally (both of us, to be honest). Everything was going very well, and we were about to be set for transfer of an embryo very shortly, but got news this morning that her uterine lining is not thick enough, so the cycle has been cancelled.
In terms of bad news, it's the 'good' kind, in that a thin lining can be treated very effectively with estrogen. In other words, it's fixable - certain things are not, as we all know. Egg count, quality - a host of other things.
Anyway - just sharing here because you semi-anonymous folks are a go-to source of comfort for me.
Love each other, and take stock of good fortune in life.

You are going to make an incredible father one day, Dan. I truly believe that. A small setback, but things will work out for the both of you.

You picked a great time to move. I was celebrating this rain as it's badly needed.
Good luck to her again. The damp eyes will be replaced by pride as she progresses.
Mine still hasn't returned to the West six years later. I think.
She had a friend from Victoria fly to Kingston Ontario to help her after Maya quit her first post graduation job, Jan of this year (Performance Plants; drought resistant plant research). They loaded up the U-Haul and drove down to Manhattan with her stuff to move into an apartment for a new adventure (Columbia University). Two 24 year old girls doing that drive into that mania had me sick with worry. Crazy, but she made it safely.
