Tues 16 Jun

In 2 more days, my baby turns 18 - his golden birthday, no less. Wish you could be here to celebrate with us.

Mosquitos decided to do a large-scale taste test on my left calf. I have about 8-9 bites on the calf altogether - delightful. And now they're really starting to swell up so my leg looks lumpy and distorted.

We will try to throw the large red cooler in the back of the car soon so we don't forget.

Now I'm a little concerned about our flights. I just got an email response from United indicating that not only do we need to secure our own transportation between LaGuardia and JFK, we will not be able to check our baggage straight through from Chicago. This means we have 2 hrs 25 min between flights to collect our baggage at LGA, secure a tax to JFK, check in again at JFK and get to our gate. The United representative did not think we had adequate time and recommended we try to fly standby on an earlier flight. There is a United flight from ORD to LGA leaving at 1:01 and arriving at 4:19 that would give us another hour. I have emailed back to ask how we could switch to this flight without substantial cost to us. Travelocity was singularly unhelpful when I called them as the original booking agent. They said they didn't get an email from the airline saying the transfer time was invalid, therefore we should have enough time.

Just had a very nice massage - feel all relaxed and mushy.
