Ugh, I really wanted to take PT and the Skybus to the airport and save $30 on an uber but… in this weather, I don’t trust PT to get me to the city on time, and fuck schlepping it in the wet. I got paid today, I’m taking the uber. AND treating myself to a schnacko at the airport if I get peckish. I can take the Skybus on the way back.

Off we go! No panic and anxiety. There are some things I appreciate having a job that pays money for

Did you manage to get to the airport in time?

I hope you have a wonderful trip!

Weather wasn’t so great and you should get there early. I was hearing on the radio all morning that there are some sort of works going on and to get there 30 mins earlier than usual.

  Yep, got here about 50 minutes before boarding, plenty of time for a burrito and unwinding before I board. I’m glad I wasn’t dying of anxiety trying to will the Skybus to go faster. I actually missed my flight back to Qld because of Skybus delays way back in 2011 or so and have never trusted it since…

    Glad you got there. A burrito sounds wonderful, a glass of wine with that would do the trick!
    
    Ohh ok. That’s fair enough. I hope they still aren’t as bad as that these days but you definitely don’t want to be late for your flight.
    
    Is it busy over there at the airport since it’s the start of the school holidays now?

    A glass of wine would’ve been a great idea! Didn’t think of that.
    
    If the weather had been better I would’ve definitely taken Skybus but I figured I would rather buy myself some peace of mind after a very overwhelming week.
    
    Seems busy enough but not disgustingly so. I think a lot of the families with younger kids would’ve gone by now. Weather has caused some delays here and there. I’m ready to fall straight asleep once I board - hopefully soon… It’ll be 1:30am Melbourne time when we land so I’m taking all the sleep I can get
