Well readers this post will give you a good laugh!
Today I was leaving MD to go back home to CO. My flight was to leave at 3:30pm. Derrek drops me off at the airport, we say our goodbyes and I hold in the tears. I get to the kiosk thing to check in and it can not find me. Not to worry, this happened on the way out here too. So I talk to the lady at the counter. She searches and tells me she does not show me going out today. She asks me if I can check my priceline itinerary online. So I go and sit down and check to make sure I am correct and all. I get on and I look closely, I find the date. The date reads: Thursday February 19th. I stop and stare at that screen. My eyes start to swell with tears. I go back to the counter and tell the lade I messed up and I got the wrong date. I text Derrek and Tell him to stop somewhere and wait a minute for me to call. The wonderful lady at the counter looks up the flights going out today and looking at prices for me to change to fly out today. She comes out with it all and it will be a extra $400 and some change to leave today (Monday). All of a sudden those tears that swelled my eyes are now running down my cheeks. She looks at other flights for the week before Thursday and I am still looking at a minimum of $200. I ask her to hold that flight for today while I figure out what I am going to do.
I call Derrek and begin to just sob. You have to remember this weekend had already not gone as planned and I experienced a lot of things I had never before. I am drained from life in general the past couple months. I tell him I was a idiot and screwed up some how. We decode to call the rental car company and see what it would be to hold the car till Thur and if I could return it on Thursday. We learn it will only be like another $40. We weigh our options and decide the smartest and cheapest thing to do is for me to stay. I am so upset and mad. Not mad that I have to be with Derrek till Thursday, but at the situation, at the times I have been having, and at myself for being so stupid. I have looked at that itinerary many times! I knew what time I flew out, where my lay over was, how long that was and what time I arrived in Denver and the carriers. I never ONCE looked at the date above it though. I never thought too! I swear I would not have done that. I assume either it was my mistake, due to everything on my mind and how much it's going on or priceline screwed it up. Either way I could not change it.
I blame Derrek because last night he told me he wished I could stay longer and then said he wishes I could stay in the barracks with him till May. ;-) So we are going to blame it on him. I just feel like it has been one thing after another. I want a break! ONE month that nothing goes wrong and I experience nothing like I have recently. Just one month. February has not been my month so many March will. We will cross my fingers. Needless to day I am in a cheap hotel for the next couple nights and no more clean underwear HAHA! I am sore, tried, drained, and all I can do is laugh at the situation. I will take the time while Derrek is in class and get ahead in my class this week and read and regroup for when I get home.
Welcome to my life and hope someone got a laugh out of this! We are laughing about it now ourselves!
XOXO,
Meg
P.S. Wish me luck for Thursday! I need luck on my side right about now!
