Day Before Flight

This morning is a complete fog. It started with a 4a.m. Tylenol dose, a feeble attempt at migraine control. Dim memories of Johnny leaving for work, the boys running around like banshees, a shower. Pepsi helped a bit.

Memory returns a bit around 9:30 when I managed to wade through the fog and pack the boys up and get out of Housekeeping's way. Off to Whole Foods for airplane snacks. Gluten free bunny grahams and gluten free crackers. GF vegan cookies. It's the small things.

It's improving. The migraine is now a mere splitting headache. Child's play. We returned to a clean hotel room, packed a picnic, and ventured to the nearby park. The boys needed to run.

Gabriel fell asleep; Zach did not. Now I'm down to a dull ache, nausea, and the barest thread of willpower to not dispose of Zach. He won't stop talking. They say inquisitiveness is a good thing. They did not have children and chronic migraines.

Dinner tonight with Caity and Elisabeth. I'm getting tired of goodbyes. That's the hard part. There's only so much sadness one can handle in a couple days. But a missed goodbye is much sadder; no closure.

Too much to do and no energy. I'm praying for a better day tomorrow. Cheer up! I'm going to India!
