preparing to travel

All posts tagged preparing to travel

This has been a busy day, already.  Karen was waiting for her new phone, which didn’t come.  Come to find out delivery was attempted at her old work address, which shouldn’t have happened.  After many emails and calls we found out it was at the Fedex facility over by the airport, so in we went.  She now has her new phone, though we haven’t activated it yet or set it up.  That is for tomorrow.  Yay for the Blackberry Torch.  We hope.

In other news… we also haven’t gotten another package containing Christmas gifts from Old Navy, which was also delivered to her old work address.  She hasn’t been there in what??? a few years?  I don’t even know.  So it got sent back to Old Navy and was supposed to be overnighted back to us at the house in time for us to take it with us this Thursday when we fly… we will see if it gets here.  She just got off the phone with them and they didn’t really know what was going on.

And… in the bigger news I guess…. seems there’s an issue with me getting my shot at the particular clinic we thought we were going to get it at.  It’s more complicated than anticipated.  We may be traveling to Manchester every week for a blood draw and injection with a private pay oncologist there.  We don’t know yet.  Karen is getting up tomorrow at 6:00 to try and work something out with someone.  It’s a blood draw and a shot that takes less than a minute to give me.  Hope we get this worked out tomorrow.  It’s causing a tad bit of anxiety.  Good news is that we are going and we will make this happen one way or another.  AT least we have nearly a week there before I’m supposed to have the next blood draw and shot (I have a blood draw tomorrow here and a shot on Wednesday here this week).

We have lists made up of stuff to buy before we go (not that much now… vitamins and such) and lists of stuff we can’t forget to take…. I will be happy when we are on the plane to Chicago.  Then it’s what it is…. and we are on our way to see the kids and that grandson of ours!  Woo Hoo!  Christmas and New Years in Britain.  Fun fun!!
