The purpose of this post is to vent. So here we go.

I feel cursed lately. I’m having some bad, bad, luck. It’s just little things, but they’re adding up.

Last week I visited my family. And of course, just like last time, Lincoln was really sick. Great! It’s no fun to take care of a sick baby by yourself. He literally started feeling better the day we were supposed to fly out. I came down with it a couple days before we left.

When we arrived at the airport to fly home, I was told I didn’t have a reservation. What?! I paid for it! What happened was I had bought a round-trip ticket, but didn’t take the flight there beacause I needed to be there a day earlier. I called United to ask about cancellation and refunds, and all they told me was it would cost $150 to cancel the first leg of my trip. Well, that wasn’t worth it. The whole ticket was only $200. Anyway, I just didn’t show. So when I arrived at the St. George airport to fly home, they said I no longer had a reservation. Because I didn’t fly to St. George they cancelled my entire reservation. But nobody told me anything about that! Now they were telling me I had to buy another $140 one-way ticket to get home. Anyway, after a lot of frantic phone calls with United, we were only charged a $60 fine. Blah blah blah.So in the end I paid $280 for a one-way ticket when it only takes 6 hours to drive! Ahhhh. Never again.

Yesterday I spent the day working on renewal applications for insurances. And we all know that sort of stuff is just a pain in the butt! Then yesterday afternoon I drove 30 minutes to Link’s doctor’s appointment. We left an hour early and ended up being 15 minutes late. We had never been to this doctor before and it was located within a huge medical complex consisting of two parking garages, two hospitals, and multiple office buildings. When we finally made it there, we had to wait for an hour and a half just to be seen.

Yesterday I also found out that my job training (which I cannot take Link to) started THIS Monday, not next week like I thought. So that took some scrambling.

Oh did I mention I’ve been sick through all this. Yeah.

This morning I really, really, really wanted to go workout. I was feeling better, and it had been so long. Anyway, this morning I was DETERMINED to go. So I got up this morning and realized I left my sports bras in Utah. Ok, running was out. So I decided to go swimming instead. No big deal. I got all ready and it turns out the POOL IS CLOSED June 15–21! Arrrg!

What luck!
