The good news is, the plane was only 15 minutes late. The bad news is I became the rude passenger everyone tells their families about. On the whole 15 hour flight from Kuwait to Chicago the a/c in my section of the plane was out. Finally, after becoming completely drenched with sweat i began asking the flight attendants to see if something could be done. The first one said air was coming out of the vent and walked away. The second one said she would go see what she could do and walked away. The third was a man and he said he would personally take care of it and walked away. About 20 minutes later he came back and said i should begin feeling coolness in about 20 minutes. i waited 45 and nothing changed. i was sitting on the arm of my seat when another attendant came down the aisle. He asked me to please move so he could pass by. i asked him to feel the air coming from the vent. i told him another steward had assured me 45 minutes before that i should be feeling cool air by this time and i wasn't. i wanted to move. i said i didn't care if he put me in business, i didn't expect to be served there, i just needed a comfortable place to be for the rest of the trip. He said he couldn't put me in business, i said he better find some place because i was not comfortable. He said he woulld see what he could do and i was to follow him. i'm sure he wanted to get me away from the other passengers before a riot started because the others were agreeing with me. He told me it may be a mechanical failure and i asked him why no other attendent had felt the need to explain to us, but i still wanted to move. He found me a seat, but everyone around me avoided me like the plague. They must have thought i was crazy, Duh! Today we Daughter and S.O. and i went shopping and out for dinner. Their new apartment is really nice, but it doesn't have central air, and guess whose room doesn't have a window unit. Fortunately they have an extra fan so last night i wasn't too bad. Actually i think i could have slept in an oven, oh wait, that's iowa's nick name, last night because i was so tired. i'm trying to hang on until 11 tonight so i can get on some sort of schedule. Tomorrow both Daughter and S.O. need to have some blood work done. She is having seizures again and that shouldn't happen. She's going in for a med level check. She may have to have some meds. increased. Drat. She had one yesterday and has had two today. Not big ones, but tonight she went into one right in the middle of a joke. No consideration at all, that girl. After the blood tests i think we will take a drive to Mother's for the day. Something different to do. Son has to work all day so i won't be able to see him, and i don't know about sister, will have to see what tomorrow brings.
