One Of Those Days...

I am happy to say that I am sleeping in my own bed tonight, but it wasn't easy getting there.

The day started off easy enough; room service, an hour by the pool, and even a little shopping, and yet, it didn't take long for all of that to turn sour.

First, my flight was delayed to Atlanta.

Even though I knew I wouldn't make my connection, I figured I might as well make it that far. In the rush, I made it all the way to the gate before I realized that I had left a $75 Macy's gift card in the rental car. I had a feeling that they would claim it wasn't there, and still I gave them the benefit of the doubt. When they told me they would "call me back", I went ahead and called Macy's and had the card blocked. I am sooo happy I pulled that receipt out of the gift bag because I never got that callback. If only I could be there to see their face when they try to use it and get DENIED. Loser.

My flight landed at 5:57 and the next was at 6:03, but I hustled over anyway, only to watch them pull the gangway from the plane. It seriously hurt my heart to watch them taxi away without me. I knew that there was no other flight to Colorado Springs for the day and that Denver was oversold.

Three Delta reps, a few tears, and some finagling later...I had a seat on the flight to Denver!

Not only that, but I got a taxi voucher from Denver to Colorado Springs, and recruited two ladies that needed a ride too. They halved the Gratuity with me, and made me feel more safe. Come to find out, their son/grandson had just gotten back from Afghanistan too, which made me feel extra good about helping them so that they didn't get stuck. Kinda makes it all worth it I guess. Sometimes "those days" just happen, and Perception is Everything ;)

Now it's time for me to sleep.

Work is noooot going to be fun tomorrow.
Have a great weekend all!
