back with a jolt

Was supposed to hang on for 15 hours for 50,000 feet in average above the ground, with -50 degree centigrade as outside tempertaure and ground speed of 80km/hour.

After the comfortable stay back home and indulging in nothing but the best food and hours of sleep, it was jolt out of the blue to know that the Chicago international airport, my port of entry had closed the terminal due to severe bad weather. Finally, we had to land in far away Mineapolis. Tired, all I could hope was that the plane would take us back to Chicago after the refuelling was over. It finally did after an hour long wait. the weather was too bad and after some bumps in the air- we finally managed to land in Chicago. Alas, because of the lightning and rain, we had to be in the plane for another hour, coz the plane could not go towards the gate.

Finally, after the weather calmed down , the doors were opened- a relief! Total 6 hours of delay and am glad am back.

The jetlags still there, so am up around 4 this morning:) all i hate is to go back to dishes again and do everything on my own.
