What a start

Today started all wrong. I already had to get up 5 hours earlier than normal to catch the flight, so I was a bit moody. I go to the ATM to get some money out and realize I don't have nearly as much as I thought. Oh well, I suck it up because I have a check coming today. I wait for the plane to board, struggling to stay awake. As soon as I get comfortable, I realize I locked the keys in my car. It will have to stay there until I get back. My mom is going to fed ex the spare. Oh well, it's too early in the morning to worry or get angry. I go to sleep. It seemed like right when I dozed off, the stupid thing started to jerk. We experienced turbulance all the way to Atlanta. So much for going back to sleep. Get to Atlanta and wait for my connecting. The wait was about an hour so that wasn't bad. Get on the plane. They have booked 3 people for one seat. One of the dudes was on his back to RI from Mardi Gras. I think he may have still had a little alcohol in him because he kept making smart comments and laughing at his own jokes. They finally fix that problem and depart. There are three babies and a little girl on the plane. As soon as the pilot says we have reached an altitude of 10,000 miles, my ears pop. No problem, I was expecting it. I guess the babies' ears popped to because they started crying. It seemed like the more people tried to soothe them, the more they cried. It's still too early so I am not mad, just sleepy. Finally, when the stewardess comes around and gives them some soda they shut up. I go to sleep. Gosh, I needed that. I didn't wake up until we landed in Providence. Tiff has left me a voice message saying she will be late. Still not angry, just tired. As I travel down the escalator to baggage something tells me to look up. There's Tiffany a few stairs behind me, just cheezing. I was so glad to see her. That meant I didn't have to wait. We get to baggage and my luggage is the first one out. Things are looking better already. I'm still not in the mood. We take Mr. Holmes to the Marriot and we go get something to eat. That made me feel a whole lot better. RI has the best pizza in the world. She loosens up and so do I. There we are sitting in the middle of the pizza parlor laughing like two old friends. I wish Sherrice was here, but Tiff is cool, too. Then I walk back to her apartment and she goes to class. I would have went with her, but it's her thesis class and doesn't sound interesting. I am going to join her for her morning class tomorrow. I feel so much better. On the plane, I kept thinking "I hope this flight is not indicative of the rest of my trip." It's not as cold as I thought. I have on my scully and gloves though. I hope I enjoy this trip. I am going to try to get my departing flight pushed back because it is scheduled to leave at 6am. I am not ready.
