SnglLifeSucks’ Neighborhood

Only because I'm going to a funeral at 2pm. But I'll take it.

I apparently decided, without thinking about it, to use the time between Xmas & whatever day we go back to work in 2010 (I don't have all that time off, that's just the timeframe) to kick my dependency on sleep aids (primarily Xanax). So far, it's not going well. Didn't matter on the holiday nights but last night, tossing and turning till well past 4am (and resuming at 7am), completely sucked. I'm hoping I'll be so exhausted tonight that I'll just conk out. More likely: I'll end up napping around 7p and tossing & turning when I go to bed.

I am sooooo glad I'm not traveling by air this week. As always, one person is a retard and everyone - all over the world - pays for it. Even though that one person's action proved that all the screening insanity DOESN'T WORK. Evil doers will always find a way to do evil.

I watched 3 more episodes of MadMen (season1) last night. I wanted to watch Extras but I couldn't find the DVDs. During my night of tossing & turning, their MIA location finally dawned on me (table in the dining room, under the curtain that's currently draped over the table (there's other stuff on top of the curtain)).

I never got as far as housecleaning. That sucks. I really really really need to vacuum the carpets and mop the floors. I haven't bothered to look for a new cleaning service yet. And I also haven't called the old one to get my key back.

Okaaaaay... time to shower and get dressed. I don't need to leave here till around 1pm but if I put it off any longer, I'll probably lose track of time.

Our plane was supposed to leave for Dallas, Texas at 05:15pm. We didn't get to take off until after 10:00p.m.

delay after delay :(

After arriving in Dallas we actually sat on the tarmac for over 2 hours because it was too icy for the plane to pull up to the gate! UGGGGHHHH....so aggravating!

wait after wait

Our plane in Dallas to Lubbock got cancelled. Thus, we had to get a motel and once we arrived for our flight we were told the plane was overbooked! We had to rent a car at the Dallas airport and drive to Lubbock ourselves. It cost over $800 but I was determined to get home to see my family! The drive to Lubbock was sooooo horrible. We drove about 10 miles per hour for nearly 3 hours because the roads were so bad. 

Yikes...we have a long way to go to Lubbock!

James and I are at my parents house enjoying coffee and good conversations.
