Transcript

I'm supposed to be on a plane right now but instead I got up at 5:30 AM just for my flight to be delayed by four hours. I wasn't gonna have a coffee or anything at the airport because I was afraid I would be leaving right after and then, you know, need the bathroom or something. But since we have four hours of downtime before I have to board and we're gonna try to find some entertainment. I have already spotted a bookstore but my first stop is definitely I need coffee like desperately. Yo, there's a robot. Also for the first time ever my bag got fully inspected like they took everything out so I did have to reorganize and I was scared. Like there's nothing in there. There's absolutely nothing in there. I was horrified. Okay, still looking for the coffee shop and an update because the flight was delayed by four hours, they sent us a meal voucher and then I looked to see how much it was. It's $12. So that's gonna pay for my coffee and nothing else. It's not what I wanted but I need the caffeine, honestly. They were out of espresso. I actually wanted to scream and then I was like, I guess other coffee shops. She said Starbucks or Dunkin. So I got an iced vanilla mocha oat milk extra ice. It's okay.
