Oh no!
So the phone rings in the middle of the night. Derek goes bolting out of bed saying something about it being his alarm clock. I look at the clock on my side of the bed--it's midnight! Turns out it was my mom calling to tell me that Dad and Ethan have for some reason been diverted on their flight from Memphis to Newark and have landed in Allantown, Pennsylvania. We go back to bed. Phone rings at 3.09 AM. It's mom again to say that they are in Newark but have missed their trans-Atlantic flight and will have to get the next one at the same time tomorrow. So basically, they will have spent nearly two days in airports just trying to get their flight to England. The airline did provide a room and food vouchers, but they're still going to be hanging about in the airport all day.
Anyway, it gave us the opportunity to go to the grocery store and stock up on some food. It's just as well they weren't here because it is really tipping it down with rain out there and as we don't have a car and have to walk and carry what we buy, they would probably have opted to stay back at the flat and wait for us.
Plus, I got the chance to do another workout today! I did Aerobic Body Shaping this morning. Man, was I sweating. I did Jari Love almost exclusively last month, and the break from the Firm was just what I needed to help the old workouts shake me up again. (Weird factoid. I weighed at 3.00 this morning while I was up. 136.6. Freaked me out. I weighed again when I woke up at 8.45--it was 134.2. Bodies are weird.)
Derek has the day off today because obviously we thought we were going to be spending the day with my family, so we are going to do a kundalini yoga workout together this afternoon, after lunch digests! It's so much fun to do the yoga together with our mats side by side. Very good.
We've book a taxi to take us to the airport to meet the family tomorrow morning. For some reason even though they're on the same flight they were meant to get on Thursday, it's due to land an hour earlier. Weird.
Wish us luck that no further mishaps occur!
