I didn't sleep much the night before. Tossing and turning, cleaning and sending out random emails. Naysia woke up about 9am and spent the majority of the day hanging out in front of the TV. We eventually got housework done, but not without an argument. I hate to come home to a dirty place!!
3pm she screams out my name. I rush to her room and she says, "Mom, I'm getting nervous."
"Me too Nays"
I took Mom to work at 4:15, then stopped to pick up some tortillas to take to Chai and Marvin.
At 5:30pm we got in the car with Grandpa Charles and Imaunii, and headed to Tucson International Airport.
It was quite eerie there. The sky was dark with storm clouds. Absolutely no cars at the departure gate, and we were helped as soon as we approached the ticketing gate. We sat at gate 6, alone for an hour or so before more passengers began to arrive. We were due to leave at 7:35pm but as we looked at the screen discovered the time had been pushed back to 7:50.
While we waited we played Fruit Ninja on her cell phone and had generic conversation. Boarding started at 7:30pm. There were very few people on the plane. We initially started out sitting at the very front of the plane. I like the leg room. She did not want to sit there because the incline during take off would be too evident. So, we moved to the middle of the plane.
The flight was short and sweet. We shared the headphones and tuned into Spotify offline. We tried to contain ourselves while listening to LMFAO and Usher party jams. Turbulence was minimal but scared her nonetheless. Every time the plane so much as shook, she grabbed by arm and held on tight.
"Mom, I can't believe this is happening" were the words she whispered as we landed at LAX.
