Travels To Sydlee, Air New Zealand be aware
Ahhhh how nice to be back home had a great time catching up with James (son)and his partner Vicki.I didnt check any luggage on the outbound journey so saved myself $20 and I didnt want a meal so all up saved $50. On the way back I thought I would be over the limit so I went on the day of travel to upgrade my fair ,You cant you can only upgrade previous to the day of travel. So headed off to the airport. So the first person I tried to check in with "no you will need to check the bag that will be $40!!" went away to adjust my luggage Found another check in agent "Oh thats fine" after a bit of adjustment. The first check in agent was a contract worker the second worked for Air Nz food for thought?.

Here we go..........
It’s fairly early in the morning, winter here in New Zealand, there is a distinct chill in the air .
I am sitting alone in my bedroom on the side of my bed. Hair disheveled, and shoulders slumped. I can feel that creeping effect in my head just behind my forehead of the coming “shadows” A nauseous feeling is also growing in my stomach and my mouth is dry. I sit very still focusing on the feeling in my head. The feeling of tightening, numbness with a slow methodic throb. Yes here it comes. I prime the Injector with Imagran find a fatty piece of thigh, hold the injector to my leg and press the button. There is no feeling I wait 5 second’s then remove and check there is a spot of blood. I sit motionless I feel the rising of the pain within my head coming now from invisible parts of my head culminating in a single point of rising pain. I am scared maybe it won’t work this time?, maybe I have become immune? The pain continues to rise for several minutes then slowly very slowly from somewhere , (I am still distracted by the single point of pain ) down lower in my head a coursing seems to be coming up as if there are pipes now directly connected to the point of pain. They pour on, then as if a door is being closed the pain dissipates. There is ever so brief euphoric moment then I breath out heavily and in. Its over. At that point I say a short prayer to whoever it was who spent their time in a lab developing Imagran Thank You
