Coconut Oil....Don’t Leave Home Without It

I have made it to London after an overnight(and direct) flight from London that saw me take a couple of naps.  I don’t know about you, oh fictional reader, but my hind quarters have a hard time(pun intended if you’re keeping score at home) on flights of over 3.5 hours or so.  Numbness sets sets in around the 3 hour mark and if I am not sleeping through the duration of the flight, it creates a considerable amount of discomfort.

At any rate I have made it to terminal 5 at London Heathrow.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:  I really like this airport.  It feels like a shopping mall more than an airport to me.  

I have made a pit stop in the Aspire Lounge from some breakfast and a latte.  Priority Pass allows me into 10 of these lounges per year.  For a 5ish hour layover like this it really comes in handy. 

Speaking of hands....mine will be a little more dry this trip as I had to toss my coconut oil as I went through security.  Truthfully I tried to sneak it through and the agent knew what I was doing, called me out on it, and since that and my shaving cream wouldn’t fit into the plastic bag, they are now in the rubbish.  

In the interest of being vulnerable:  I’m becoming more aware the sometimes I think the rules shouldn’t necessarily apply to me.  I’m not happy about becoming aware of that and at the same time I’m thankful for the awareness because I truly don’t want to be that way.  

Shoutout to Shauna for dropping me at the airport.

Huge help to be able to walk right in the CLT terminal and hop on a plane overseas.  I'm so glad I initiated that friendship so many years ago (even though she'll attempt to tell you that she struck up the conversation first....admitting you're wrong is hard for some people). 

One night in Copenhagen coming up tonight and I’m doing my best to stay awake all day.  Not sure if that’s going to happen or not to be honest.
