It's like deja vu all over again

And once again I'm leaving for Michigan tonight (fingers crossed, knock on wood, pray to whatever higher power you're most comfortable with).  I'm having serious flashbacks to December.  I think the reason for that is, despite having flown twice since then with (relatively) few problems, this time most resembles that time.  I'm flying Thursday night for a Saturday wedding, just like last time.  While I'm not a bridesmaid this time, I am doing a reading and therefore have to be there in time for the rehearsal dinner tomorrow night, just like last time.  I have the whole weekend planned out, just like last time, and the weather does not look to be terribly helpful, just like last time.

Now, while I'm pretty sure I'm safe from a giant blizzard in the middle of July (but seriously, cross your fingers, let's not tempt fate here), the weather forecast does seem to show thunderstorms all day today and tonight in Boston (80% chance of precipitation).  At the moment it's fairly sunny outside (I think, it seems to be kind of bright when I look at the construction site across the street, but I can't see the actual sky anymore) and as we all know weather forecasts have been wrong before.  And it's much more likely that flying can actually take place in rain as opposed to blinding snow.  And if we can take off, chances are we can fly above the weather.  Last time Northwest straight up canceled my flight before I even got to the airport, so far today (as of 9:00am) it's showing as on time.

I'm seriously just so, so nervous that something will go wrong.  However, I have made a pact with myself that whatever happens I will not go insane like last time (because this time I'm pretty sure the bride will go insane enough for both of us if something happens).  Also, last night it was thundering and lightning, but I could still hear planes coming in to land (and presumably, take off) outside my window all night.  I'm preparing myself for the worst (not taking off, missing the wedding), so that whatever happens I will not be disappointed.


Just to be safe, though, will you please all send some positive thoughts my way today?  Particularly around 7:45pm?  Thanks, you're the best!
