April is OVER!

April is over and it appears that I have survived the most demanding, screwed-up, exhausting month of flying that I have EVER had.

I'm technically still flying my April schedule because I'm still on my trip that began on April 30.  I'm bringing the red-eye back to DC from San Diego arriving at 6am tomorrow.  Then I have four whole days off!!!!  I plan to sleep for the entire 96 hours.  Okay, maybe just 95; I have to go buy a new stock of pantyhose.  (See how exciting my life is?)

For fun, I kept track of my cravings this month. I had two. Just two in the whole month.  Obviously, cigarettes came to mind more than that, mostly when I passed by a smoker or came to EX.  But ACTUAL times of  wanting to smoke?  Just twice.  And both times, it was instinctive and easy to just shrug it off.

So hang in there, Newbies.  It gets easier and easier and easier.  We promise.

Now, on to Las Vegas!

About the Author
I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
