Another early morning, though not as early. 0400 instead of 0300. It's also cool that the Albany airport is only 15 minutes from Mom's (and the hotel where I was staying). It was 33 frickin' Fahrenheit this morning. The Chevy Malibu I rented had a heated steering wheel and heated seats, and I was grateful for it.
An astonishing line at TSA at 0430 in the morning. Very pleased that I had pre✅. Crowded at the terminal gate as well, and every cough and sneeze make me wish I'd remembered to bring a mask. We'll know in a couple of days. Solid overcast from Albany to Detroit, and much of the way from Detroit to Jacksonville.
I've had days arriving in Jax when it felt as though you were stepping into a sauna, as if a blanket of oppressive, wet heat just surrounded you when you stepped outside. Not so today. It was a welcome relief to step into sunshine (mostly) and warmth. But the sauna will be here soon enough.
Anyway, I'm back now. Caitie's coming over later this afternoon. Did some grocery shopping on the way home. I'm unpacked, laundry is underway and I'm going to take a nap. It's nice to be home, as qualified as that may be in Florida.
