If only we knew we could've slept a little longer because, at the scheduled boarding time, the flight would be delayed for an hour and a half. Of all flights, on the day we were on a tight schedule, it had to be our plane that got the "slowest most thorough maintenance worker" to change a battery the pilot had ever seen.
As soon as the plane took off, and we rose above the blanket of clouds, a most beautiful sunrise greeted us--daring me to believe that, even though we were off to a rocky start, the tightly scheduled day would still work out.
And the rest of the day was a whirlwind lacking in sleep and food, but spinning in decisions and paperwork, one right after the other.
Miraculously, and just barely thanks to a nice office worker who unlocked the school door so we could come in, everything on our checklist was completed.
Which left us with an hour to grab a cake and make it for a birthday surprise.
Our time was too short to celebrate her birthday properly, but some minutes was better than no minutes.
