Traveling Home

I cannot stop sneezing. I’m trying to travel home from Dallas, and things haven’t exactly gone smoothly. The uncontrollable sneezing is only adding to the usual travel anxiety. I’m allergic to something here. As soon as I stepped foot out of my hotel room this morning, incessant sneezing began. Normally frustrating, of course.

But today, I’m cranking out about 50 sneezes an hour, which seems a touch excessive to me. My tissue supply is dwindling, and my nose is already sore. The FAA had a computer glitch this morning, which only spells disaster. I can’t check in because, for whatever reason, there is no staff at the check-in gate. I’ve never seen that before in my life.

So now I’m “stuck” in a bar until I can check in in another hour and a half, hoping that I don’t run out of tissue and have to use airport toilet paper on my nose.
