Y5 D119

I should be pissed I am up at 5:30 but at the same time I went to bed at 9 so it's not so horrible. I got in a decent amount of sleep. I am still getting back to my normal time zone I guess. Whatever. I am up and that's all there is to it.

I was up for 21 hours yesterday most of them spent on the road. My morning trip was acceptable. I left for the airport at 5 EST, got there at 5:30, made it through security, and left at 7:30 right on schedule. Got to Dallas pretty much on time. About 15 minutes off but nothing horrible. Dallas as usual was a clusterfuck. It's always going home where I have problems in Dallas. Normally it's okay as a layover if I am going somewhere, but home I usually get screwed. I can't blame DFW even though I do. It's my home airport. If in the morning they had any delays because of weather, the whole rest of the day is thrown off. That's what happened yesterday. I was delayed almost 2 1/2 hours because of an earlier weather delay. I blame Dallas because I hate being in that airport. It's loud, obnoxious, and way too big. I did use the time to have a decent lunch at least. I originally had an hour plus layover and with the delay it ended up being closer to 4 hours total I waited. I was 15th on the upgrade list too. I knew there was no way I was getting an upgrade. Heck there are only 12 seats available. Upgrade chances equaled zero.

I finally got on my flight and two rows behind me was a screaming child. And not a baby where they had little they could do. No, this kid was about 3 at least. Shut your fucking kid up please. Nope. 3.5 hours of a screaming child. I think everyone wanted to kill the kid and the parents by the time the flight landed.

Since I was delayed the kid couldn't pick me up. Her and KBF were scheduled to go look at a couple of apartments yesterday and I was not about to stand in the way of that. B had to work until 4 which meant I didn't know if she could pick me up either. Originally I was going to take public trans as far as I could and wait for her at the station. I was so tired and frustrated when I got off the plane I said fuck it and took a cab home. $40 the company can shut the fuck up about. I earned it.

I got home and B was home already and in tears. Why? Because she was afraid the police were after her. Seriously. She had tried to go to the post office and there was some old guy honking at an empty car. She went over to yell at him and to tell him the car was empty. He freaked out at the 'crazy girl coming to attack him' and called the cops. You know she fears the police and came home afraid they were coming to arrest her. I'm serious. Part of me wanted to laugh my ass off at her but she was in true hysterics worried the police were going to find her for harassment charges. Sigh. Not what I wanted to deal with after traveling all day. Add to that the 17 emails I had from work. Those I ignored and will deal with today.

After calming her down with some orange slices and fetal spooning (about all of one of you will get that) we went and grabbed some dinner from the mexican place. We sat on the couch relaxing and watched some Doctor. She had a splitting headache at this point and went off to shower and read in bed. I watched always sunny and followed around 9.

I slept okay. Not great. My ear hurts and my back hurts right now and I had to deal with that.

Errands today and emails. Fun stuff.
