We got up at 3 am and Dennis left at 3:30 as planned. He texted at 6:20 that he was in the plane. I got another text at 8:03 and I thought he had arrived.
Well no, he hadn't left yet. After they finished boarding the plane, the air bridge was removed but probably by a moron because it caused so bad damages to the plane that they were waiting for news if it could be repaired or if they would have to move all passengers to another plane.
Dennis mentioned " It had to happen today " in his text because he has such an important meeting in Bern this afternoon and that means also taking a train after landing in Zurich. They have worked months on that and it's an important project for the next 3 years. It has to be presented to the Swiss Government this afternoon and they are not the type to reschedule.
Got another text at 8:20, they need to change plane, that means deboarding, reboarding, wasting so much more time.
I was explaining to Jen and Kathi yesterday that I only can create under stress and Dennis is exactly the same. I think it comes from the fact that our life is never stress free, lol . Anyway, today I wouldn't mind getting Murphy back home if he could leave Dennis in peace.
It is raining, what I always like on a day Dennis has left because although I caught a couple of hours sleep, I still appreciate taking my time to wake up.
9:01 : Dennis is boarding the new plane.
Today is Rodin 172's birthday and this is the " Google of the day " that you all probably saw by now. Wouldn't have it been great for pondering the other day ? By the way, that's my favorite position when I am thinking, they used to call me Rodin at the Uni.
9:32 : Good news, the plane got taxied.
9:49 : The plane is airborne
Poor Hubby. Knowing the flight takes 1 hour 40 and he loses one hour because of European time, he will be landing around 12:30, then needs to rush to the train, catch one, travel time is 1 hour 15 to Bern main station. Then, I don't know how far it is from there.
12:10 : Landed in Zurich.
I sent him all the train times and which one is direct or needs changing, let's see what he can manage.
Today is my little brother's birthday. Well not quite because although he is my brother and it is his birthday and I see him as my little brother, he is turning 50. I can't believe it, he is still a kid to me !
12:40 Dennis managed to jump into that train, with no changes. That will get him there for around 2pm. I think he should be fine if he catches a cab as soon as he arrives.
It has been raining all morning and on the top of it I was half so tired and half so worried for hubby that we didn't go the park yet. It doesn't look it's going to improve and we go to the pool tomorrow anyway, so we might just have a play inside.
14:25 : Dennis just arrived at the hotel where the meeting will take place. He even can have 10 minutes to get a bite to eat as he is up since almost 12 hours already. I think I can breathe now.
It is 13:30 in the UK, I am still in my PJs and I feel like it's already time to go to bed. What a start of the week . . . I think I'm going to take it easy today, LOL.
Project 365+1 - Day 317 : Refreshing
It was an ideal word for today as I spent ages refreshing my screen to get more news about that plane.
PS: Colin, that's OK to answer back on my site, I do the same for others. My blog doesn't allow me either to answer comments.
Take care everybody, xxx

lol- I'm the complete opposite- I shut down under stress. I can actually cope with a stressful situation happening at that moment- but shut down afterwards. Depending on how stressful depends on how much my body shuts down and recoops strength!!!!!
Lol Anne I am stressed with reading your blog!!! I usually go for a glass of wine but not sure about 3.10 in the afternoon!!
What a day Anne, pleased Dennis got there in the end, even if a bit late.
Glad Dennis got there in time, hope that the meeting went well. I am usually OK at coping with stress when I can do something, but waiting as you have been I can't concentrate on anything.
Thank goodness Dennis got to his meeting on time and you could at least do something to help him get there by finding information on the internet. I expect you need a good rest now to get over the stress.
