Travel day. I got up early and went for a long walk, mostly in the dark, to make sure I got my steps in. Got home, had a big, for me, breakfast, including coffee, and helped Ann finish house prep for Emily, with some last-minute cleaning. Then I unpacked everything and checked to make sure I had everything on my list. I'm carrying a lot of weight in my backpack, probably more than I should. The Uber drive to the airport went smoothly, and we got to the gate with no trouble other than, for me, an extra long wait going through security. I was surprised at the length of the line on a Wednesday morning. The flight to Chicago left on time and arrived a little early. The plane was completely full, and we were in Zone 5, but we were both fortunate to have overhead space for our backpacks. I used the T Mobile 1-hour free Wi-Fi for this flight, which was a minor nice option. Listened to some music as well, and reread the end of Persepolis Rising, to familiarize myself with the storyline in The Expanse series before starting the next book, Tiamat's Wrath. Walked around ORD while waiting for our flight to board. It was the first time an airline used biometric screening to allow us on the plane. Was glitch for others but worked smoothly for us. The flight was not full, again we were in the back of the plane, and we were able to switch seats and sit together across 3 seats in the middle. That gave us both room to stretch out, which made the long flight easier. Being used to longer flights to Israel, this one wasn't so bad, although I had trouble finding a decent body position to get some sleep. Fell asleep eventually, probably got a net of 2-3 hours over the flight.
