Sunny Sunday ~ odd bits and thoughts......

 

12 or so years ago, I could fly to San Antonio on Jet Blue.  It was wonderful, because it was a non-stop flight, and a small plane with two seats on one side and one seat on the other.  They actually gave us a sandwich for lunch.  Oh, boy, those were the days.  A lot has changed in air travel in the past 8 years, and even more has changed in the last two.  #1, there are fewer flights.  #2, if you live in a relatively obscure part of the country like New Mexico, there is no such thing as a one way flight ~ it's hard to find that even if you're flying to El Paso, which is typically less than a 4 hour drive.  Worst of all, Jet Blue no longer has those wonderful flights to San Antonio from here.  They left the Sunport a long time ago.

I am flying to San Antonio at the end of July.  I found the flights I want, and planned to use the credit from my ticket from back in late Sept., early Oct. which I had to cancel (I had to leave much earlier as Mom was sick and slipping away from us).  I just tried to use my credit, and to my horror and disgust, my "credit" expires at the end of June.  I'm holding on the line as I type this (with their annoying hold music in my ears) to find out if there's anything I can do to extend the expiration.  If not, then I will lose out on about $400.  Which is no bueno, as we say here often.  I do not want to fly just for the sake of using my credit, so if they won't extend it, I guess I'll be out $400.  :-(

Otherwise, it is a beautiful and sunny Sunday here in the Land of Enchantment (isn't that just so corny?).  It is still very chilly in the morning (24 degrees) and then a high of 65.  I saw some green leaves on my sage bush today.....do you notice that some trees and plants come out when the weather is warm, regardless of the time of year?  I sure hope trees don't start to bud.  It is way to early here, as the suggested planting date for spring (for veggies and that sort of thing) is April 16th.  Most people get excited about their gardens and plant early, and unless they've covered those seedlings usually have to replant.  

Although I was excited to see the winter olympics, I have quite watching it for the most part.  Of course, today is the last day.  My favorite part is the snow boarding.  It's pretty amazing what those kids can do on a flimsy board on the ice and snow.

Only 14 weeks to go!  The closer it gets, the more annoying work seems, haha.  

Have a great week.

Love, 365
