I've been trying to clean for a week, yesterday and today I've spent actually making some headway. My grandma is coming to town so I'm trying to spruce up the place! Not very exciting for the fleeting weekends of the summer, so I thought I'd live vicariously through you all!

P.S. you can't clean without music: Sorry for the YouTube link but I've been unable to use the alternatives recently

The irony of having incredibly great, and incredibly terrible timing! Thankfully all things considered it's a pretty safe way to experience some fun traveling! Let the job know, have someone check in on any pets back home -- everything will work out alright and you've got yourself an extra day to experience some new stuff! May not be ideal but it can still be fun!

Well the extra time on Saturday and Sunday morning was fine. But then it turned into a rolling delay fest for about 10hrs. I was at the airport at like 10am on Sunday, flight was supposed to leave a 1:30p, and it was finally cancelled around 11pm. So I've been here for an extra two days, without much other than my laptop, phone, and 1 extra pair of clothes that I always bring on my carry-on (my checked baggage made it home Sunday night/Monday morning, go figure).

But at least I was able to find a reasonably priced hotel. And a ticket out on another airline, which I'm boarding in about 10min.

Delta is going to be paying me back a lot of money...I'm up to about $1500 in unexpected travel expenses.
