brakes, check

We're headed to Chicago via United Airlines via Logan airport in a litle under an hour. I feel guilty for not spending the holiday with the dogs, but since they won't really notice the holiday part of it, it'll just have to be okay. I should make a standing list of all the things I usually forget to pack until the last minute (phone charger, belt, pajamas...) but that would be too easy.

hopefully not a trend

There was some odd karmic exchange on the flight to Chicago. I ate normal foods and had my usual mocha prior to flying to Chicago. I bought my magazine, took my dramamine. I'm pretty sure I wasn't virusy at the time, but I managed to make myself fairly nauseous prior to flying, and had to wander up and down the airport to try to calm my belly. During my walking time, Tim was working out getting out seats for the plane. By the time all was said and done, the flight was completely full, and we'd been bumped up to first class. First class! Exciting times! ( brief details about the karmic part of this )

A lesser affliction might be a decent trade for an upgrade -- a headache, maybe some muscle aches, but this stomach grossness is a little too much to swap for extra leg room and fancy drinks. Maybe if Tim and I could take turns. Or it worked on international flights. I might trade for an international upgrade.
