Hurry Up & Wait

Well, we were all packed and about to head out onto the snowy streets of Portland toward the airport, when the phone rang. My appointment in Texas was moved from Wednesday to Friday, so we called off Frank's Airport Shuttle, did some more fun travel planning-scurry, and settled into a few more days in OR. While it was frustrating to have to scramble a little and I'm not very tolerant of plans changing these days, now that I've had a nap and a walk and some time to think about it, it's actually fine. We have a few more days to renew our spirits, Oregon style, and touch base with our OHSU folks while we're in the same time zone.
So now we're heading to TX on Wednesday night, back Sunday. Hopefully, that will stick, so I won't have to unleash my frustration on the poor souls at Travelocity once again.

I hope everyone's staying warm (especially those in the frozen northeast and frozen-and-wimpy pacific northwest).
love,
jmb & the ninjas

Sorry for the delay. That must be maddening. My grandmother called today to tell me that it's in the 70s in NC. It's in the -20s here. I'm sure it's warmer in Texas. But the PNW and regrouping sound better than Houston any day, though I know Houston holds answers we're all pretty eager to get. Safe travels Wednesday. We're still here, still thinking about you every other second. See you soon. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo.

Hey Jess, I am so impressed with your ability to so eloquently keep us all in the loop right now. I have been thinking about you every day, and wonder if you'll be up for any visitors when you get back from this latest Texas trip. Mary Beth and I would love to give you and the Ninjas a hug and high five. I'll check in next week. warmth and smiles, eugénie
