Failed, Part Deux

I was supposed to fly home today.

Today's timeline:

8:30 - Bryan and I roll out of bed, shower, finish packing, I eat some breakfast, get the kitty ready for his big trip.

9:00 - Call a cab (all of our friends seem to be out of town already and we didn't want to take the cat on the T)

10:12 - MG calls, says she can just drive us to the airport in our car (not sure why we hadn't thought of that, but great!)

10:20 - Leave our apartment, bags in hand, for the aeropuerto.

10:45 - Arrive at airport, wait in line to check in (have to b/c of the kitty).

11:15 - Nice lady (who is sneezing like crazy because she's allergic to the kitty) tells us (1) our flight to Chicago is delayed, so there's no way we'll be able to make our connection; (2) the next connecting flight is overbooked, so there's no way we'll be able to make that flight either; (3) we could go through Dallas, and Dallas to Tulsa is fine, but Boston to Dallas is full. SO she books us on flights tomorrow.

11:30? - Leave airport in the freezing cold, with kitty, and take the T home after all. Act all huffy and puffy and very annoyed (because I am).

12:30 - Arrive back at the apartment. Call J&G, mom-in-law to let them know not to expect us in Oklahoma today. Take a relaxing day off instead (watch a movie, veg out, order pizza for dinner, etc) and prepare for leaving tomorrow morning (at 5:30 am)!!

Gotta love "weather." It's going to be interesting tomorrow, too; especially since we have said kitty and now a 4-hour layover. Oh well. At least she got me aisle seats!! Easy bathroom breaks, here I come!!

So, long story short, I'm flying home tomorrow.
