That awful REO Speedwagon song kept playing in my head during the 24 hours it took us to get from our house in Wisconsin to our hotel in Arizona. Yes, 24 hours.
I'm not sure why that song, particularly, but maybe it had something to do with the fact that, during the flight to Minneapolis, Loopy couldn't fight the feeling anymore that she was getting another UTI... :-(
So we went to the ER in Minneapolis (well, St. Paul actually) and after five hours in the hospital and six more in the damn airport, we ended up on a flight almost exactly twelve hours later than our intended flight.
As if that weren't bad enough, Loopy also had a terrible terrible cold, so when we were landing her ears wouldn't pop and she had those awful, awful headaches that result from that situation.
So she spent he first couple days here holed up in the hotel room drinking unsweetened cranberry juice by the gallon (ugh!), taking antibiotics and decongestants, trying to get her ears to pop and watching endless reruns of "the Waltons" alternating with "Little House on the Prairie" on the Hallmark Channel. And knitting, of course. (Since she hasn't posted I'll add, for you knitters, that she finally finished that deadly boring cable sweater and started on a sock with the lovely koigu she bought in NYC.)
Poor Loopy. Some Christmas this is turning out to be for her. She's so brave, my sweetie. What would I do without her?

I loathe RAO Speedwagon. Obviously you've pissed off some powerful deity.
Loopy was convinced she must have done something of the sort.
She eventually concluded that all these terrible events were payback for all the spiders and ladybugs she has vacuumed up, despite my pleading for their tiny little lives.
Spiders are our friends, you know.
But don't cross them.
