Y9 D106

SO much in my brain right now I need to make sure to remember everything. But first and foremost, guess who has two thumbs and doesn't have to fly into a hurricane?? That's right!! No Florida trip this week.

I got up yesterday and around 6am I got my upgrade confirmation notice for my JAX flight. I'm like okay, I guess it's still happening. I went to American's site, checked flight status, and yep, on time. Like an hour later, my phone bloops - flight cancelled, please choose another flight. Ok. It lets me choose to go from DFW to Charlotte then to Jacksonville. I guess going down was good but not across? I then got my upgrade notice seriously no more than 10 minutes later on that flight. Okay. Out of my mind.

I teach my class, we finish around 2:40 again. Right as class is finishing, I get an email from Tillamook. Apparently I won a contest I entered forever ago! I won two tickets to Portland Feast Night Market!! SWEET! Except... it's Friday night. BOOO! I call the person and ask if I can have until Sunday to confirm. She tells me I can have until Monday. I explained the whole flight thing and if my flights get cancelled how I can go. She totally understands. Cool. I then go to the office as they are doing annual inspections and they want to do it Wednesday and I want them to do it Saturday. Same thing though. I say wait until Sunday and I can tell you what's what.

Get back inside and around 4? Boom. All flights cancelled buddy, you're not going anywhere. Woo! I start frantically making phone calls and sending emails. Flight refunded. Hotel refunded. Car refunded. Car service moved one week out (still going to NJ next week). Client notified. Office notified. Tillamook emailed. Whew. A lot done in a very brief period. Everything is set and settled. I talked to my boss and he is like great, now you can work on CBTs next week. I say fine, as long as I can order the new mic I have been wanting. Approved. I now have a new microphone on its way to me. I am excited about that for sure.

Everything settled down and we had dinner. I had a corned beef cooking in the slow cooker all day which was nice because B put all the dinner stuff together while I was making all these calls. Had dinner, watched tv, went to bed around 10.

Now, one more thing before I forget again. I do not want to seem completely cold hearted. I have been wondering how X2 is fairing. Last I heard she lived right in the path of this thing. Southern Florida is going to be brutally hit compared to Northern Florida. May she be safe and not die. I hope her house blows down and her car flies away, but hey, don't kill her off at least. See how compassionate I am?

Now today I am grocery shopping, paying bills, and just enjoying the ride.
