We picked up some wooden airplanes for the baby’s room, and then headed to the air show today around midday. We were supposed to be there by eleven, when it started. However, I was not doing so hot and wasn’t able to get myself ready until close to noon. And then I forgot about the wooden airplanes, so we had to detour to go get those on our way out the door.
But, I think, both turned out quite well. The wooden airplanes were good and cute and affordable, and the real airplanes were fun to watch. My husband don’t get to see beer as much as he had wanted, and I feel bad about that. But it also was a necessary sacrifice in order for me to attend with him. I’m glad he waited for me and didn’t make me drive separately. But I am still sad he didn’t get to be there the whole time. And that I didn’t process that it was in full sunlight the whole time, and so didn’t have a long-sleeve shirt. I had to carry around the umbrella, which was annoying and in people’s way (had to be cautious of that the whole time, which was a hassle), and we rushed around to all the vendors to see if anyone was selling a long-sleeve. And no, they weren’t. Only one booth had any at all, and their smallest was a single XL. And they were $40 a piece. I didn’t even like the shirt, so I would not spend out money on that. But I felt bad that my husband was clearly super stressed about trying to find a shirt for me. Also, the way I had to hold the umbrella, it ended up snagging my very nice shirt multiple times on the shoulder, which I’m trying not to think about. I managed to fix the snags mostly, and I’m just really hoping they will improve fully in the wash. There’s a high chance they might do that, so I’m intending that they do.
Anyway, I was hurting a lot physically and was overwhelmed by the new environment and the rushed timeline and the stress I was clearly causing my husband. For all of that, I think I did pretty well. Especially considering that I did enjoy the time.
But, golly, is my stomach feeling not-so-great right now. I’ve been lying in bed over an hour now, and it is not settled yet. 
Anyway, here’s to hoping I sleep well tonight and have a great start to the week tomorrow onward. Cheers!
