Default Victim of the weather

My Valentine's Day present this year was tickets to see Dirty Dancing live on stage in Toronto this past friday night.

I rushed and left work at 10:30am. I rushed home let the dogs out (raining all moring). Rushed to the airport to catch 12:10 to Cinni, which had weight issues making it questionable whether I would even get on. Got to Cinni, my 3:10 to Toronto was CANCELLED. Bad weather in Toronto. There was another Toronto flight in a couple of hours, but with the cancelled flight I knew I would never get on. Tried to get to Buffalo (was going to rent a car and drive) but the flight was weight restricted. Got on a flight to Washington DC with plans to catch their 4:45 to Toronto, which wasn't cancelled when I got on the Washington DC flight but was cancelled by the time I got to Washington DC. Tried to get on Washington's Buffalo flight but no seats. I had no options that would get me to Toronto in decent time for the show. I got on a flight home. I cried the whole way. Got home, went to bed (fully clothed) and cried myself to sleep.

It was miserable. It has been a long time since I have felt that out of control, frustrated with something that I wanted so very much to go and do. I should have taken the whole day off work and went earlier in the morning. I would have beat the weather.

Hubby was very sad for/with me. He wants to try again in warmer months or wait and get tickets for when it comes to Chicago. He didn't want to go without me. The tickets were non refundable. He gave them away to the hotel manager, who said that his wife would love to go see Dirty Dancing. I hope they enjoyed the show.
