Done it! Arrived in Sydney after some great views of Victoria, snow on the Alps, and more Canberra. Even flew over one of my workplaces. Few bumps and I’m glad to be back. Tension over for now.
Month: October 2018
Made it to Melbourne
Arrived in Melbourne after a pretty smooth flight, though I still hate the descent into Tullamarine. Hope the return is as good or better.
Anxiety
The skies, they are totally clear
But then, so is my fear
I feel a breeze
An evil tease
In my head, screams do I hear.
That hole deep in my gut
The eyes that are tightly shut
A horrible nightmare
That only I care
Others think I’m just a nut.
The silver that I am off to seek
Is only a sign I am weak
Flying in error
Feeling the terror
Counting myself among the meek.
Trying to be brave enough to fly
I’m scared and I don’t know why
What lies ahead
Are lies in my head
I just want to curl up and cry.
Back from Osaka
The holiday is done. All back home now, including doggy. Quite a bumpy flight until we were off the coast of Australia. Saw meteors, other aircraft, a green laser over PNG and watched “The Abyss”. Lots of rain clouds over Sydney, though the threatened bumps didn’t really eventuate.
Need a shower, sleep and food now.
Checked in, but not ready to go
Well, I sort of am ready to go in that I’d love to be home in my own bed right now. It’s the intervening bit that I am dreading.
Had some French toast with berries and ice cream for “dinner”. Can’t stand savoury right now.
This stress is terrible. Terrified.
Heading back from Nara
Going to be a bit rushed collecting the luggage from the hotel to head to the airport. Had fun in Nara.
