Nov 7...

Late Nov 11 as I write this, and I've been 'away from keyboard' since my last entry, early Nov 6.
I did jot down some notes, so I'm about to find out how much I remember ...and forgot.

Nov 7
She was at my office to pick me up, just at 0600, and I was in the car with Her a couple minutes later.
We zipped home, She dropped me off, and went off to the market to get the much needed cat food, and I went inside the house..... fed the animals,  took a shower...packed.
She returned shortly, and completed Her packing. I got the bags in the car, and we were wheels0-rolling at 0845.
Our flight time was 1045...  We live about 20 miles from LAX.  The one thing I was trying to allow time for was to park in a long-term lot, and take their shuttle to the terminal.
And we were moving unusually slowly on the W 105.
And slower...and slower.
Finally off at Sepulveda....  and fought to get through a three-lane-into-one bottleneck, due to a monster car crash on the other side of the tunnel.
Finally got through it, with not much time.... and made the decision to park in the lot across from the terminal.... the difference being, the long-term lot costs $12 a day, and THIS lot costs $30 a day.
We parked on the roof, took the elevator to ground level, walked across the streets, then took an elevator back up a level...to check in.
Getting wheelchair service for Her, to the gate, was simple and sweet... and soon, we were on the plane, awaiting take-off...    and fell asleep.
Neither one of us remember the pre-take-off instructions, or the take-off itself. 
We just woke up, and were at cruising altitude..but we did wake up in time for beverage and snack service.
We napped off and on, all the way to arrival,  around 1630.
Off the plane, and Her wheelchair escort was waiting, and we headed out, and my parents were waiting, just outside the security entrance.
We met, chatted, went down to baggage, while Dad went to get the car out of the garage, and meet us curbside.
Soon, we were on our way, rolling on the E 10.
We decided that getting dinner on the way to the house made more sense than going home and out again....so first we went to a buffet place which they'd been to once before....but it was now closed....
So we went to a different buffet, which I'd been to the previous year.
After dinner, we headed on to the house.
We arrived, Mom showed us to the room which I was some familiar with,  then we went out to the tv room, and sat down.... to watch OU getting crushed on some Thursday night football game.
Well, we didn't watch much.  She  and I were sitting in a two-seat double-recliner couch? behind the chairs that Mom and Dad were sitting in.....
And we slept in the chairs through most of the game.
Around 11pm, we were awake enough to go to our bedroom.
TSW (The Strict Wife) said, 'I don't know if you were thinking otherwise, but you ARE getting a daily beating, right now.'
In short order, I was naked, and getting a beating, but I do not remember...with what.
For the trip, I packed a long paddle, the waffle-maker, the wooden spoon, and a long and short cane.
She did not use the canes, but that's all I remember about it.
