Back just to pack

It was fun seeing my brother - hadn’t seen him for a while. I gave him some money and bought him the electric blanket he wanted at Target.

The only crap thing about the 1 hour 15 minute flight is the total 5 hours that it takes to get around. Waiting for an hour at the airport, hearing your flight is delayed - sitting around some more, taking the bus then the train back to the city - jumping in your car and FINALLY getting home. GEEz.

Sad the spectacle at the airport. People were literally cutting a fit because the airports were closed at Seattle and Oregon due to the weather. Now I’ve been bumped from a flight before AND had a flight cancelled. Yeah, it sucks hard - but honestly - what good does it to do start yelling screaming jumping up and down and losing it in front of everyone? Screaming at the agent DOES not change the weather. Honest.

Even I’VE figured that out without uttering a single expletive at another human being.

LOSERS.

Karma is a real bitch.

So tomorrow is yet another flight. I have no doubt that if there is a possibility for a delay or a cancellation - it will happen. I am ready for it. I will not freak out and yell at some poor human being who has to break the bad news to a crowd of frothing holiday travelers. I will prepare my teen for the worst and then she’ll be glad when everything goes smoothly. I’ve got a book to read - not sure if I got the right one though - it’s about war. Probably not the best choice - but I’m plowing through it. Denis Johnson - Tree of Smoke. Won the National Book Award last year. I also got Donna Tart’s new book too. So I’ve got plenty to read. Got a few neck pillows in case they deflate (those blow up things)…

Damn 4 flights in 4 days. WTF was I thinking - seeing my brother was hella good though. So that was totally worth it and takin that teen down made him very happy. His father is mentally incapacitated and his mother died of breast cancer. He is a very smart and cynical teen now having been in the system for the past 5 years. He does have a heart though and that is despite the shit he’s been through in 6 foster homes.

Meanwhile, it was super busy at the airport today when I got back to Oakland. I would NEVER travel at Christmas time if it weren’t for a kid. It’s just too crazy and people are just FULL of evil spirits.

Yawn.

Well, let’s gear up for some more HOLIDAY cheer.

That shit made me giggle.
