California, I iz baaaaaaaack! :-)

Just lettin' ya know I made it back here safely.
I literally just barely made the first plane on time (By the way), because of the long line at the checkpoint. Cleveland should have separate checkpoint lines for every airline...not combine three or four in one damn line! Geez! Then, I think I lost one of my green "Donate Life" bracelets going through security. I was going to give my "tweetheart" one. Oh well. I have a lot more, but I was too tired to get them packed up to mail. I'll do that when I go back to Cleveland.
It was raining in Cincinnati, so that first plane had to circle around Greater Cincinnati, and possibly part of Kentucky too...then had to land from the south, where it wasn't raining. In other words, he had to circle around so he wasn't in the rain belt...and could land safely. That was quite a trip, I must say! Flying around Greater Cincinnati, in the rain, at 7:45AM. And that was only my second impression of Cincinnati...the first being 12 years ago, when my first husband and I went to see the Reds play, and we stayed in a cute little inn, in Kentucky, just past the state line. Anyway...thank goodness my first plane got to the airport on time in spite of the rain, because I'd have been having kittens if I missed my connecting flight.
The second plane was a dream. I even slept, I think, at least half of the way here.
And, it's a lovely, lovely day here in San Diego.
Last week, in Cleveland, I got a lot done that I wanted to. We visited Hardee's, the thrift store, Wal-Mart (twice), Costco, and a few other stores that I wanted to check out. I kept up with my walking, going over to Bexley Park almost every evening...but, early evening, as you do NOT walk through South Euclid after dark...you just don't. And, my room, that looked like it had been hit by a tornado, is a little cleaner. I got six boxes ready to be mailed here, to myself, I presume by way of Dad tomorrow. When I do last-minute cleaning and packing, I really do last-minute cleaning and packing!! I was up all night doing that...Maybe that explains why I packed my San Diego keys in one of those boxes...I can't believe I did that!!!!!!!
Oh well. It's good to be back, in "America's Finest City"!!!
Gotta run for now.
Laytah, darlin'!
(Poof)
