My Brother is NOT Here

Jeremy was supposed to come today. I was going to meet him at the airport at 7:15 am, and we were going to come back to our apartment, drop his stuff off, rest, shower, relax. Then we were going to have a great day of light touring in Singapore. We would have gone to the wet market next to our house. We would have eaten great food and probably gone downtown, and then we would be back early for him to pass out, since he would be jet lagged.

But. Nope. No Jeremy.

He was flying out of Syracuse, so he took a shuttle to Syracuse from Ithaca, and when he arrived, he found out that his flight was canceled. He didn't make his flight out of NYC, and he did not make it to Singapore. Singapore Airlines basically said, sorry, but we can't get you on a flight until 14 January. He is getting the money back for that ticket, bought another one (which was $1000 more expensive!), and he will be arriving (HOPEFULLY! or b'h for the frummies) on Wednesday night, late. He had to make it back to Ithaca in the snow, then he has to figure out how to get to Buffalo, stay the night there, since his flight is at 6 in the morning on Tuesday, and also, he didn't get to be HERE for the weekend!

We are meant to leave next Friday morning, early, for a 2.5 week trip in Thailand. I am seriously hoping he makes it here before then!!

Instead of my great day, I had a fine day. Ran errands (including finding Go Lean at the store!), picked up a repaired bag, did laundry, ate, played online boggle, and lazed.
