Today is on the List.

Henry had to go on a business trip today (more on H's work in another post, no doubt. It is problematic). His flight left at 6 AM, so we set the alarm for 3:30, I managed to drag myself out of bed by 4 and got him to the airport for 5. Came home in time to discover that Carl's Jr doesn't open for breakfast until 6. Blah blah blah getting through the day with not enough sleep-cakes. Get a text message from DH saying he arrived in Phoenix more or less when I expected. Did not get the follow-up arrived safely in Dallas message when expected. A couple of hours later, in fact, got a message that plane had been diverted to San Antonio for weather. Now, 2 hours after that, he tells me they are still in the plane, on the tarmac, no takeoff time in sight, no food being served. Flight tracking website says his flight is scheduled to continue on to Dallas at 11 PM, in which case they seriously need to let them off the plane, but I have no idea if there is any accuracy at all to that.

I am not pleased and I'm not sure where to direct my ire and too freaking tired to think straight. Bah.

4:15 PM (5 hours after original ETA), flight is canceled. Don't know what happens next.

6:54 He's in a Holiday Inn in San Antonio ordering room service and then going to sleep. Whew.

My plane from Chicago to Oakland (2nd leg from Atlanta) was delayed for about an hour after we boarded, and that was not too pleasant, but the flight crew had apparently learned from some of the recent stories and went out of their way to keep us informed and comfortable - turning on the air conditioning, bringing water around to everyone, just telling us what was going on frequently - so much better than what Henry went through.
