jennlkWe're back! Between the game running long (TWO! overtimes), and the wait for the cheerleaders and athletic department staff to clear security (band? football team? coaching staff? done and through. cheerleaders? staff? not so much.) and deicing (yes, in Mobile), they didn't take off until nearly 3ayem est, and landed at 0515. (got a text from SR while I was on the road.) I got to campus about 0530, parked in the lot where they were going to debark, curled up under a blankie and went back to sleep. :) 90 minutes later, I get a call from an obviously just-woken up SR "we're here. my bus is in front of the building, getting band luggage that had been on the football bus, will be around the side shortly." So I went and held the door for the unloading crew, snagging her bag as it went by, and waited for her to show up.
We got home about 0930. She ate a bowl of cereal and went to bed. She's still sleeping.
I fed the birds and the fish, then took a nap myself -- I'm getting old and creaky, and 3.5 hours of sleep, 90 minutes of it in the car, just isn't enough anymore. I'm glad the snow held off until we got home -- a couple of patches of freezing mist, but not much effect on the roads. It's now snowing fairly hard, but there's no wind, and the birds are settling in close to the food-- the rose bush is full of sparrows and finches and juncos, blackbirds and doves in the boxelder, and jays and cardinals out in the woods' edge. And there's a pair of Northern Flickers around here somewhere -- they just flew off from the suet cake.
