Exhaustion!!!

I spent all night last night and all of today packing what should have been packed forever ago. Yep, that is so typical me.

It wouldn't have been that bad if last night at work wasn't so exceptionally busy, but all three transatlantic flights were late for one reason or another and my flights kept running into each other to where there was no way to get away from the plane to get a break - - and when I finally did, there were various needs competing with each other.

I had to pee, I was hungry, was running low on energy and had approximately fifteen minutes to satisfy whatever I could. Now, food would have involved walking across to the food court or another concourse, so that would have made me more tired and stopping to pee would have taken too much time and taken away from the time necessary to get food. Resting would have been stupid because then might have made it to the bathroom, but I would have still been hungry and tired and disappointed that all I had to look forward to on break was an airport toilet and a dab of lipgloss.

So after carefully evaluating which need to completely ignore and which to indulge in, I went with eating. I went to the food court , dragging, and ordered two meatballs because I didn't have time to wait for anything else. Quick, cheap, and good for me. It was so good that I forgot what it tasted like, so I got another one and then moved to another part of the airport so people wouldnt see me eating twice.

Then I realized the food shortly put pressure on my bladder and there was no way I would be able to ignore the bathroom stop. First stall, overflowing. Second stall occupied. Third stall, wet seat with toilet paper clinging to it. Third fourth fifth stall, occupied. Next stall has a floater. OHMYGOD people are so gross! I CANT DO THIS!!

Two minutes to get to the gate and I still haven't peed. Id rather go in my pants than catch the Hiney Flu from those toilets.

Now I'm tired, too full, need to pee, irritated and my flight is boarding.
I find out there are all kinds of seating issues on board I need to resolve. Every single ticket needs adjusting. I can't stand still. I need to pee. My gate partner is having the same issue, she didnt much of a break either. Three people in front of me are stubborn and are waiting for first class upgrades that are so not happening.

I finally get out of work , forget that I need to pee until Im in the car halfway home and it's so bad that I think I have done damage to my bladder. Go home. No toilet like your own after my earlier experience. Ew.

Call babysitter. Blame lateness on that late airplane. Which one? Who cares!! Get there, get kids. Exhausted. Realize I need to be out of my house by yesterday.

I think I need to find a better system. This really doesn't seem to be working. Small break over. Back to the trenches.

All the way to the moon!!
