273. Let it go

 Just as I am about to relax that my baby girl has landed where she was supposed to and that she’s lucky enough to have her luggage as part of the 80% taken aboard I start to relax.

Bing. Goes the phone.

Bing. Bing. Bing. 

What now?

‘My next flight about to take off. Minor delay. No worries.’

This time I’ve had enough. I call my husband. 

‘She’s waiting for her connecting flight. You know she’s going to …’

I interrupt him. ‘

Of course I know. I was just wondering … You know, it’s been a bit hectic so far …’

‘Relax.’ He tells me. It’s just one of these things.’

O. K. One of ‘these’ things. 

And here I am waiting again for her to land somewhere and I don’t know where and I don’t dare  ask my husband in case he thinks I’m just incapable. 

So to show off I say.

‘This weekend, you and I, let’s go for the real practice run for the great adventure!’
