12:12 p.m. - I just received an e-mail from Kelly's stepmom. Kelly arrived safe and sound. Very tired, I'm sure! I'll wait to see if she calls when she wakes up later today.
Update- Due to the winter storm, Kelly's flight from Pittsburgh was late arriving in Charlotte. She arrived 45 minutes late and missed her connecting flight to Fort Myers. USAir finally got her on a flight at 1:50 a.m. The flight was due in between 1 and 2. It finally arrived at 3:24 this morning. A flight that should have taken 4 hours took almost 8 hours. I bet she is exhausted. As I read the flight tracker info it looks like she may have actually been on the flight that she missed. It was due to leave at 10:09, but left at 1:50 a.m. She was due in to FM at 11:56 p.m. I'll just have to wait to talk to her to see what happened.
That's it. I'm down to one child at home. The past few weeks have been tense, but, deep inside I truly miss her already.
As I've said before, Kel made the decision to move back to Florida to pursue her "dreams." I have to let go and let God. I know that this may be what's best for our relationship but I miss her so much. I could not take her to the airport for two reasons. Both pain related. The first, and the only one she knows about is that I "fell" off her bed yesterday and hurt my left foot. It is slightly swollen and the pain is unbearable at times. Somehow I landed on the electric surge protector thingie when I came down. The other is the pain my heart feels in knowing she's gone. She does not know how much this hurts and I don't plan to tell her. I'm not sure if she will get joy from my pain or not care. I don't really want to know. I did hug her several times and made sure she knew that I still love her and I will miss her.
I sort of have a part-time job. Glenn's boss bought a new plotter and computer for printing sign graphics last week. The 4 men at the company are not quite computer savvy so I was called in to figure it out. I worked 2 1/2 hours today and need to go back tomorrow to finish the first part of a job they are doing this week. We could not finish today because Tony, his boss, had to go to Church (Jehovah's go to church at 3:30 on Sunday's) and we needed to come home to watch a hockey game and get Kelly ready to leave. There is also an issue with the designs and matching them to the frames on the blueprints. Hopefully, we can reach the contact at CPFilms to see where the designs actually go as they don't match up. I like the work and hope it continues. They are talking about selling invisible bra and window tint kits on-line. If they do, then I will be in charge of cutting the film for the orders. I'm excited about the prospect. Granted, I won't meet anyone new, but I can do it on my schedule and the shop is across the street so I can run over as needed.
I'm off to try and move some of Cameron's clothes to Kelly's room. We are moving him upstairs for sleeping so that we can see what he's doing at night. No more staying up til who knows when! We also plan to move his computer into his room so that he does not have to do his schooling in our bedroom anymore. Oh to have our room all to ourselves!!!! What a dream, what a dream! We are trying to figure out if we should run a wire into his room for the internet or wait until this summer when he gets his laptop. Decisions, decisions. I think it will depend on if we can find a long enough wire. I don't really want to invest in an electric wireless adaptor. Armstrong Cable in Butler gave us one, but Comcast claims to not know what I'm talking about when I ask them about it. They seem to run about $60 online. I don't think that is a wise economic decision for several months so the move may be delayed.
Kelly's room was never painted. It is still an ugly blue. We have been contemplating what to do about the walls since she decided to move and we decided to move Cameron upstairs. Glenn had the idea to paint the walls camo. Yikes. I think that would take a long time and be quite difficult. Of course, anyone who has seen Glenn's painting ideas knows that I underestimate his abilities, i.e., the "brick" walls in Lehigh. I was talking to Linda about it yesterday and she mentioned that putting fabric on walls is becoming popular. I remembered that Paula sent me some camo fabric that she had purchased for her boys but did not use. Linda's idea was to use liquid starch and put the fabric up like wallpaper.We are nervous because the walls are paneling and I'm nervous about how the fabric would have held up with the ridges if we do it that way. We think we are just going to staple it using a high power stapler and pull it taut. Once I get the fabric up, I will post pictures. I'm excited to do it, but know that I cannot do it until the other walls are painted. Glenn is planning to work on the room next weekend if he does not have to work. Cross your fingers that we get the room done soon.
