I’ve had three separate flights canceled out from under me, and spent an ungodly amount of time on the phone and email rescheduling flights and hostels and inter-airport transport. Only to then re-book them the next day when the weather continues to be a little bit frightening. I’ve successfully booked plane tickets for Wednesday, when at least some of this is supposed to blow over, and I really wish I was more optimistic than I am that those flights won’t get canceled too. Perils of living in a remote town near the Arctic Circle I suppose.

It’s been a very peaceful few days though, aside from the all the phone calls to airplane reps; I’m catching up on sleep and not reading any academic papers. I am re-reading an old favorite webcomic, and folding a some origami.

However, I have no shelves or any other place to put the new ones, so under the bed they go. Maybe they’ll crowd out under-the-bed monsters, I don’t know. Or keep them company? Also I’m trying to use up some of the colors I don’t usually gravitate towards, hence all the oranges. I think the next one is going to be some kind of teal-lavender-pink thing. Certainly eye-popping.

Never thought I’d pine for the inside of an airport, but I do wish I was at home. Or at least going home.
