Telluride - on the road

The Rockies have come calling and I have answered.  I didn't get packed until 9:30 and I had to get up at 4, and I always worry that I won't wake up so I wake up every hour on the hour.  So by 4 am I was ready to go.  However, I did not get to the airport until 4:45 and then I had to rush to get to the plane.  They now have this rule that if you are checking baggage you have to get it checked in 45 minutes before departure.  If the lines are long that can pose a problem.  Lucky for me I made it in time.   But by the time I got to the gate they were in the final boarding (it took 45 minutes to get through security)

I slept most of the way to Denver, and though not a morning person by the time Twila picked me up I figured I could get my voice working - sort of.

I was excited to see the other middle sister, and was excited to tell her all my news, but as I was getting in the car I jokingly said I have some bad news - and she said about mom.   Huh?  Well I have learned my lesson never lead off with I have some bad news, that is just bad luck.  But all ended well.

So I spent the first two hours on the dreaded phone, first playing phone tag with the doctors office then calling everyone else to give them updates.  I know that Twila loves to push and she knows how much I hate the phone so it was call this person call that person call the doctor again and again.  

I finally said I am not going to call the doctor again.  I was hoping she would say okay I will do it for you, but no all I got was do it.    So I did make those calls, but really I wasn't happy about it.
