See, it's funny, because I'm one of the least patient people I know.
I was supposed to be on my way to the airport so that I could leave for the beach and get some time to myself. But then, technology - which is supposed to be better than ever because, hello, this is the 21st Century - failed. And my flight got cancelled. So I will now be flying overnight because of this absurd reality that I am presently facing.
I am desperately trying to hang on to as much of the tiny amount of patience left in me. I've got no extra food and no extra money, so I will now have to put in an unexpected full day of work and try not to eat my hand. Because I am that hungry.
On the other hand, I guess this whole situation is good for me. It's teaching me about having patience - even when I don't want to - and I'm certainly relating to that whole "don't count your chickens before they're hatched" saying. By the way, who even came up with that phrase!? Don't count your chickens... But guess what, I did. Because COMPUTERS SHOULDN'T BE CRASHING AND CANCELLING HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF FLIGHTS.
Okay, so maybe I'm not picking up on this whole "have patience, take a deep breathe, don't bite anyone's head off" thing. Or at least I'm not picking up on it very fast. But can ya blame a girl for being upset about a cancelled flight!? (Hint: answer is "no.")
I'm not entirely sure why I'm still so frustrated, other than I'm making it inconvenient for everyone else - my roommate, my family. Ya know, the people making it possible for this trip to happen.
In all of this however, there is still good. I found another flight, I have the best friends and family (shoutout to Sarah and my mom), I'll get to download a movie for my flight (priorities, am I right?!) and maybe even take a nap when I get home from work (again, priorities).
There's really not much of a point to this post other than I thought I'd write instead of sitting in my office sulking. And because I didn't want to start crying - I'm low on sleep, so my emotions are a little cray. Don't judge.
So for now, I'm going to countdown (again) until I get to leave for the beach, make a pot of coffee because I desperately need it and try to come up with some ridiculously smart plan to keep computer from crashing. I am woman, hear me roar.
Yours till the cat barks,
Ellie
