Oh no

better than actually getting there and realizing but

i'm gonna be so late

... thank goodness i stopped to pee and thought about getting gas

good luck T_T

Rowan just called to tell me i left it on the porch, so at least i know how it happened now

Are you picking someone up or catching a plane =(

catching one myself

Oh geez

Good luck

the bad: i was half an hour late and absolutely missed that flight

the good: i told my parents as soon as i knew i would be late and they moved my flight an hour later

and i'm on time for that one

though damn, this gate i am going to is at the ass end of the airport, i have been walking for almost ten minutes

made it to the gate just as they started calling boarding

damn, i'm tired

but now i understand why the drive was so much longer than the last time i came to this city, there was SO MUCH construction

okay boarding now, turning my phone to airplane

see y'all on the flip side

Have a fun and safe flight!

made it to Denver, now for the final flight to Phoenix

second flight is delayed, but honestly at this point i am grateful it wasn't early somehow

ooh, that sounds so stressful! I hope the rest of the flying goes well!

me too, haha. it's a shame i made such a silly mistake and missed out on a few more hours of family time, but ah well

we're here now

exactly! Focus on what is in front of you and not what you can't chagne!

returning to the house let me grab my silly plurk critter hat, and the crazy Stupendium shirt came today

destiny works in mysterious and often annoying ways

that's something then!

okay boarding my second flight, oof

bye, i'll report back when we land

safe travels!

ty!

and landed

nice

they're playing Thriller in the airport, excellent

made it to my hotel /collapses into bed

...am i weird for not really minding if my food is lukewarm?

if it's too hot it takes forever to eat, but if it's just kinda room temperature i can eat it right away

anyway my hip and right leg are super unhappy with me so i will take some ibuprofen about that and play some games to unwind

so glad i added a bottle to my bag on a whim this morning

i am so grateful i ended up packing the big fluffy sweater after all, it's perfect for sleeping in

i bought a kinda crossfit style mini backpack, which i desperately needed for my carryon item for flying home, the bag i was using was not adequate for my needs

crossfit? crossbody? something like that

crossbody. it goes across the body. crossfit is a fitness trend

a good carryon bag is worth so much

right, yeah

and seriously, it was a little pricey but it seems good quality and it's a nice bag

It's so nice to have a go-to carry-on bag that matches with a system that works for you. like I always use a backpack as my personal bag because that can be shoved under the seat in front.

and then I put a tote in the backpack so I can (after security) fish out the things I will want when I'm on the plane and put them in the tote to have at hand. like headphones and phone and book and wallet etc

because lazy and because I fear spilling my backpack while trying to rummage

that's clever, yeah

i keep forgetting the terms, i have a carryon just as all i have, this crossbody bag will be my personal item

nod nod. I have mainly only flown back home to visit family and stay with family, and since I was going to comic con and Southwest used to allow you to check up to 2 bags free... I would put a carryon luggage with clothes etc inside a regular big luggage (so I could bring stuff home in the big bag), and then check that.

And carry nothing more onto the plane than the backpack (with tote)

I don't know that you can do that anymore

yeah, sadness

i mean you can't, i misread that

nod nod. I hate having to get into the overhead, so I really really prefer to check a bag, even though I know everyone views it as inconvenient and potentially a chance to lose it.

even one checked bag costs...uh... $35

that's dumb

yeah i would prefer to have mine on the flight with me at all times, lol. i also try to get smaller bags for that
