On the Fly

Well folks I made. Where some of you are wondering and the answer is Bloomington Indiana. It started friday at 5pm. Sheldon and I picked up some dinner and starbucks in lethbridge and hit the road for Calgary. A quick bathroom/mini egg break in Nanton and we arrived in good time. Checked in at the Sandman, updated ourselves on the Olympics and went to see Pink Panther at Chinook. I think I was tired but the movie was hillarious. In fact Steve Martin at his best, I am still chuckling...
Then early Saturday morning we boarded the van to the airport. First thing I nail my head on the van roof. This seems the way I begin every holiday for at Christmas I think I gave myself a concussion by doing a back flip on my couch and landed on the hand rest incredibly hard. In any case it helps me get a lot of rest. In Calgary the lines were impossibly long and slow. Didn't matter however and we made out flight to Edmonton. Met a nice man moving to Calgary from Grand Prairie and educated him on windmills and Waterton :)
Then in Edomonton the plane was delayed and we were stuck in this room with one tv for like 5 gates so it was kinda boring. This flight to Chicago finally landed and we landed 15 minutes before the plane left to Indianapolis. So we ran and ran down corridors, up stairs, down stairs. Now I like running but perhaps I need to increase my training with a 10lb backpack because I almost died and had a asthma attack! But we made it to the wrong gate and then got directions to the right gate. In the end our plane was delayed an hour and we got Mc Donald's and I tried to cheer up! At this point a man having the calmest heart attack ever entered and asked the lady at the counter for help. So she called the paramedics and yelled for nurses or doctors in the area for help. As a nursing student I kinda watched the situation and considered my knowledge of what I was capable of doing. I came up with the only skill at this point was taking his pulse and that didn't really seem necessary. In the end a doctor showed up and the paramedics came too. Drama, I don't want no drama.
So anyway we made it to Indianapolis with a new plane buddy from switzerland. I was still upset about our loss to Switzerland in hockey but we looked past our differences.
Its so good to be in bloomington! Happy REading break and Family Day!!!
