Home again

After 7+ hours of flying, I'm back home again. Mike and Yalu drove me to the airport which was really nice since Boston had just gotten nearly a foot of snow the day before. The flight took longer than usual because of strong headwinds. They even thought we might have to make a landing in Salt Lake City to refuel. Luckily we didn't have to do that.

For some odd reason, I chose a window seat in the back of the plane. I usually like to take an aisle seat up front. But I think it was because there was no aisle seats left and I wanted to sleep. But I offered to trade seats with this couple who had a baby. I didn't want to sit next to the wife who was carrying the baby so I swamp with her husband and took the middle seat across the aisle. The guy in front of me said that he was supposed to be on the same flight the day before and that that flight had actually took off on time! He didn't make it because he was stuck in traffic going a mile an hour and missed the plane.

I was really tired by the time I got back. My parents and brother came to pick me up. But they were really worried about our cat, who had gone missing. When they decided to leave for the airport, they wanted to make sure he was back inside his "room" but couldn't find him. We keep him inside but he runs off sometimes. By the time we all went to sleep, he still hasn't come back. My mom left a window open for him and he finally came back in the morning. My mom thought for sure that he wouldn't be able to find his way back and we'd lose him forever. She said she spent the whole night thinking about whether or not to get another cat and whether or not she would settle for a spotted cat. Anyhow, we're all glad he's back.
