Ugh. So, my flight kept saying delayed, so at 1145 I left my house. By the time I got to the airport an hour later, it had been canceled. And now I am flying tomorrow night to Houston (on an airline I have no status on!!), getting in after midnight, and at 11am flying to Dallas, and then to Indy. Ugh. But I used reward points to book a room at the Houston Marriott, so there's that at least. Such a waste of time.
Mighty fine shindig.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorry, meara. Was the flight cancelled due to bad weather in Chicago?

Yep. The one before it was canceled too. And so everyone is rebooking like mad, and the flights were already pretty full, so...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I think I'll be unaffected other than turbulence since it's a direct, but there is no plane at our gate yet, dunno where it was coming from of course. But I got here ridic early so it's not really time for it to be here yet. Prolly coulda met sara after all, but oh well. If I get stuck, I'm calling my Baltimoreistas!

One of my friends was going to be flying in from Seattle tomorrow and her flight was cancelled.
And my electricity went out briefly.
I have electric heat.
This is NOT good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, that's a mess, meara. And sumi, I hope your power stays on! Stay safe, everyone!
I just had a meeting over drinks with my financial guy. He hugged me at the end. Hmm. (I have a financial guy??)

You have a financial guy? AND you have meetings over drinks? You are way more adult and cooler than I.

I'm not sure how this happened. I mean, mostly he's rolling over all of my old-job retirement funds, so it's not like I'm Investing or whatever, but it's good. We have a bunch of meetings now, getting things set up, but then it'll just be annual.
