Nooooo!!

It waited all year to get anywhere near my destination. It knows. Somehow, it always knows:

I want you all to get down on your knees and beseech the weather gods to be merciful. Yes, the storm is only affecting airports and vacations in the islands south of me but it knows I’m coming. It is going to change direction if you aren’t intervening hard enough on my behalf.

I have to arrive at the airport 3 hours ahead if my flight. That means I’ll be in the terminal at 3:45am. That means, I have to leave my house at 2:45am.

Anyway, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the coffees and margaritas you have bought me. I might have to start on the margaritas right after breakfast today.

Why? Why? Why?
