Before The Fall: Chapter 3 Excerpt

Never fear, posting this excerpt doesn't mean the next update is far out. In fact, I have only a couple more paragraphs and some editing to do and should be posting by the end of the day, but I'm tired and procrastinating my clinical paperwork and worked so long on this stupid paragraph that I had to share it. Enjoy, friends.

Darrel

I thanked my lucky stars that Dally wasn’t here. He sure wouldn’t help our case. Still, even I had to admit that Dallas Winston had been a lifesaver following the wreck. He’d wanted to skip town the minute he heard the news; I could tell. The pain and grief was simply too much to stand, the loss of the first parental figures he’d ever had, the people who’d opened their home and hearts to him and given him a place of stability in his sea of chaos. He’d spent his life running the minute things got tough, using escape as a coping mechanism. But like it or not, Tulsa was his home now, and we were his family. He needed to be somewhere where it was physically impossible to escape his circumstances and have a “healthy” outlet for his rage. I knew it was only a matter of time before he got there, but he held out long enough to attend the funeral. Whether it was out of respect for mom and dad or to support us, I didn’t know, but it didn’t matter. He spent the week and a half after the accident helping out around the house, keeping Pony and Soda company, producing a decent sum of money from unknown places that I was almost too proud to accept, and helping me navigate the legal system (he claimed I needed an “inside man” who knew the courts intimately). He stood silently beside us at the funeral, head bowed and face set. The minute the graveside service was over, he did something he’d never done before; pulled my brothers and I each into a rough, firm hug. He then ruffled Johnny’s hair, told Steve and Two-Bit to “take care of them,” crossed the street, and belted the first Soc he saw, so hard he knocked the guy's front teeth clean out of his mouth. Of course, he strategically did this right in front of a cop, who had him down on the ground and was cuffing him so fast I almost missed it. The gang had stared, dumbstruck, as they led him away, but I saw the triumphant gleam in his eyes as they shoved him into the back of the squad car. He’d gotten what he wanted.

I'm in the middle of constructing a soap opera (it's only an element of my story) and am looking for a unique world to put it into (i.e. Dallas is oil, Falcon Crest is wine, Grey's Anatomy is medicine), and am having a hard time brainstorming something that's: 1. compelling to me, 2. unique, 3. something I can write honestly. Any ideas?

Falcon Crest or Grey's Anatomy Style Soap Opera

Evening soap operas like Dallas, Falcon Crest, Grey's Anatomy, Empire, East Enders, This is Us, The Wonder Years, and Yellowstone all tend to revolve around one of the following:

-- an industrial empire (and the family that runs it)

-- a compelling situation (involving a variety of people)

Definition of "Industry" - An industry refers to a group of businesses that produce or sell the same or similar products or provide the same or similar services. Some examples of industries would be car manufacturing, book publishing, wedding-related products, car manufacturing, and farming.

Definition of "Compelling Situation" - For the sake of this ask, a compelling situation refers to any ongoing activity, event, or circumstances involving multiple people. Some examples of situations would be medical students doing their clinicals; a workplace such as an office, bar, restaurant, or record store; a fire department or police department, a big family, or a group of people such as a book club or homeowner's association.

Here are some steps to help you brainstorm your own evening soap opera style story:

1 - Brainstorm Industries - The world is made up of a huge variety of industries. Almost everything in your life that is mass produced has an industry behind it: video games, coffee, paper towels, cookbooks, clothing and fashion, makeup, shoes... Think about some things that interest you and consider the industries behind them. You can also look at the town or region where you live and see what industries are important there, or you can look at the industries that are important in other places that interest you. Make a list of industries that sound interesting to you, then start researching them to learn a little bit about them. See which ones might provide an interesting backdrop for your soap opera.

2 - Brainstorm Situations - There are all sorts of interesting situations happening all around you and all over the world. There are people working today at an animal rescue, there are people working together in a nail salon, there are teachers socializing and supporting each other in a teacher's lounge, there are auto mechanics taking a break to celebrate their boss's birthday, there are people meeting to discuss a book or to plan a charity event... Think about the different situations happening around you or in the world in general. Look through current events and local news to see if you can spot some different situations that might be interesting. Think about the places you go, the activities you enjoy, the businesses and services you use, etc., and think about the groups of people behind them. Make a list of interesting situations and do a little research into them to see if any might make for an interesting backdrop for your soap opera.

3 - Choosing and Fleshing Out - Once you've chosen an industry or situation as the backdrop for your soap opera, start doing deeper research and then flesh out the family or group of people behind it. If you're choosing to go with an industry, create the company that will be at the heart of your story. What is it called? What do the manufacture or what service do they provide? When was this company created and who created it? What is the family who currently runs the company? Who is in charge and who is next in line for leadership? Who is their competition or opposition? Who are the different people who fill the necessary roles in this company? What sorts of industrial and familial drama might they face on a daily and periodical basis? What is daily life like for this family? What personal and internal conflicts increase the drama? If you've chosen a situation, what is the situation and who is in charge? What are the different roles and who fills them? What do they do on a daily basis? What are the unique and interesting things that this group deals with on a daily or periodic basis? What personal and internal conflicts increase the drama?

Have fun with your story!

Have you met ZERO LAWRENCE yet? They’re the THIRTY-ONE year old BARTENDER that lives around SWINDELBROOK ST. APARTMENTS. I think they’ve lived in Seattle for ELEVEN MONTHS. From what I’ve heard, they’re ASSERTIVE, but once you’ve known them long enough you’ll find they can also be FICKLE. When I think of them, I usually think of THOROUGHFARE by ETHEL CAIN. 

name: zero lawrence.

gender: cis male.

sexual orientation: bisexual.

age: thirty-one.

birthday: december 14th.

zodiac: sagittarius.

birthplace: rye, east sussex.

neighborhood: swindlebrook street.

time in seattle: eleven months.

occupation: bartender.

HISTORY.

with a name like zero, it was hard for strangers not to have low expectations of him growing up. though the same could never be said about his parents — despite the fact they only named him zero due to being told that was their chances of having children on several different occasions by medical professionals.

even with their ironic and unusual choice of name for him, zero's parents only ever showered their little boy with love and affection, encouraging and supporting his every endeavour. zero was always taught he could do anything he set his mind to, a mindset he still carries around with him to this day.

zero's childhood was spent running up and down cobbled streets, begging his father to bury him up to his head on the beach of camber sands during summer holidays and staring outside his bedroom window wondering what lay beyond his small town's tiny borders

as much as zero loved his parents and his small town growing up, by the age of seventeen he knew small town life would never be enough for him. he wanted to travel, meet new people, experience the kind of love his father had for his mother and go on an adventure. when he was twenty one, he finally left his parents and east sussex behind with only one destination in mind — america. zero had spent his childhood obsessed with american sitcoms, falling in love with cities like the big apple, the windy city and the emerald city.

he purchased a one way ticket to new york with the money he had saved from his job at his local pub from the age of nineteen, leaving behind everyone and the life he knew. zero had left home with enough savings to last him several months before he would need to start looking for work. when his funds finally did start running low, he picked up a job in a diner where he would eventually meet the first great love of his life — or so he thought.

zero fell for this person fast and he fell hard, before he knew it they were making plans to drive across the country and exploring every nook and cranny together and for nine months that's what they did; driving across the country, sleeping in the back of their pick-up truck when they couldn't afford a motel, eating at every 24 hour diner they could find. it was the exact reason zero had wanted to leave home for in the first place. everything was perfect between them — or so he thought.

one morning zero awoke to learn they had disappeared and so was every dollar he had to his name. when he tried calling their cell phone, the only voice on the other end was one to inform the caller that this number was no longer in service. what he thought had been a whirlwind romance for him, had been a long-con for them. the only thing they had left him was their old pick-up truck, which zero immediately hopped in and headed further out west to texas — only for his truck to breakdown in albuquerque. with no money to take it to a repair shop, he decided on making alburquerque a pit stop so he could find a job and save up enough money to buy a another car and hit the road again.

it was between the ages twenty four to thirty that zero spent bussing tables in dallas, bartending at dive bars in nashville, working on a ranch in wyoming, spending some time in montana to see the rocky mountains and yellowstone national park and working blue-collar jobs in oregon. zero doesn't stay anywhere for too long, he's always searching for his next adventure, chasing that next high and his latest has lead him to seattle, washington. where he's spent the eleven months bartending at a strip club named the doghouse. out of all the jobs he's worked over the years, bartending is his favourite despite the unusual work hours. it allows him to meet people from all other the country, sometimes even the world and learn a piece of their story.

PERSONALITY.

+ assertive, captivating, dexterous, maverick and resilient. - airy, fickle, reticent, soft headed and opinionated.

TIDBITS.

his favourite song to workout to is confident by demi lovato.

this is one of his genuine messages from grindr, he still hasn't emotionally recovered.

Legacy

(A short fiction story)

“Do you want to take a spin in it?” Duncan asks Mallory as they stand in the parking lot of the high school, itself almost as newly minted as her driving license. Mallory doesn’t answer. She just stares at the shiny red sports car with the brown leather seats and chrome wheels. Her shoulders hunch forward, as if the added weight of her license makes her backpack too much to bear. She hesitates.

“I have to get home,” she says.

“But aren’t your parents away?” Duncan asks, opening the driver’s side door.

“Yes,” she says.

“What’s the hurry home?”

“I have chores.”

“I can drive you.”

“That’s okay. I always walk.”

“It might rain. I’ll drive you,” he presses.

He points with his eyes to a heavy grey cloud that has arisen in the distance. Mallory gives in and walks to the passenger door. The interior of the car is finished with wood. She runs her fingers along the elegant dashboard as he starts the engine. The aroma of the new leather seats reminds her of a pair of gloves her mother once had. They had been expensive. When she lost one of them, its mate lingered in her handbag, until one day it too disappeared.

“Waddya think?” Duncan asks.

She sits mute, watching as the sunroof silently opens to reveal the blue band of heaven high above them. A puffy, angelic cloud floats into the frame, and then disappears. She buckles her seat belt and folds her hands in her lap.

“Ready?” he asks, then puts the car in reverse and backs out of the parking spot.

Mallory knows that her parents wouldn’t approve of her taking a ride home alone with Duncan. They are strict, especially now that she attends public school. They can no longer afford private school tuition. Most of her parents’ money and time now goes to the Rhys Owens Foundation and the Living God in Christ Pentecostal Church. But it doesn’t matter. She likes public school. It is noisy and colorful and filled with smells and sounds and voices that she otherwise would never have experienced.

The town is small. Many people know Mallory’s father from when he coached Little League. Duncan played on one of the teams. Everyone knows Duncan’s father because he owns one of the two banks in town. He bought Duncan this car for graduation. Lots of kids get cars for graduation and then they go off to college. Both she and Duncan will be graduating next month. Duncan will attend the same university as his father and grandfather and will one day take over the bank. Mallory’s parents have been too busy to help her with college applications to the Christian colleges they have chosen for her. Summer is coming and this year she will be running the Bible Camp. She can’t think beyond that.

“So, have you driven on the highway yet, I mean, besides for driver’s ed?” Duncan asks.

“Not really,” she replies. “Just to church and back. Around town for shopping. Once out to Table Rock lake.”

She is not all that keen on driving but there is no other way to get around. Some kids ride bicycles to school. A horse. She would be happier with a horse, she thinks. Once, Jonelle Williams rode her horse to school. It was a big deal.

“Do you want me to put on the A/C?” Duncan asks. She shakes her head.

He’s not a bad person, she thinks. He is polite and well groomed. She has never heard him swear or raise his voice in anger. But she only sees him in class or at the football games on Friday nights. Sometimes, he sits with her and her parents, but not all the time. He has lots of friends.

Once, her mother told her to invite Duncan to church. She didn’t. It wasn’t that she didn’t want him to come to church. It was that she knew her parents would never condone her attending a Presbyterian service. It didn’t seem right that the invitation could never be reciprocated.

“So, where are your parents?” he asks.

“Dallas again,” she says. “Something for the Foundation.”

“You wanna listen to some music?” he asks.

“No,” she replies. “That’s okay.”

The drive home from the school is no more than five minutes, but they manage to pass by everyone in town who can and will report to her parents that they saw her in Duncan Wilson’s car after school.

As they pull into the driveway, a few drops of rain clink against the windshield. Duncan closes the sunroof. She sits watching as it shuts itself against the darkening sky.

“Do you wanna come in for a minute?” she asks.

“Sure,” he says. “As long as it is okay with your parents.”

She knows that it is not okay, but she tells him that it is. Old Mrs. Barnes from next door is no doubt watching them now, she thinks. She imagines walking over there and ringing the bell and giving Mrs. Barnes the name of the hotel where her parents are staying and then telling her to go ahead and call them. But she knows she won’t. She looks down at the ground as she counts the steps to the porch. Twelve today.

The house is large and is relatively new. Her parents built it when she and her sister were still attending the Christian Children’s Academy. Each time she opens the heavy front door, the first thing she sees is the memorial. The memorial honors her sister, Rhys. It occupies the wall that separates the foyer from the kitchen. In the center of that wall is a large photo of Rhys. In it, she looks over her shoulder at the camera, her smile bright and wide. Rhys smiled like a movie star. Everyone said it. The portrait is surrounded by seventeen smaller photos of Rhys, one for each year of her life. Below these photos is a table weighed down by ribbons and trophies and awards.

“Here’s the shrine,” she says. “The wall of memories.”

Duncan stares at the display for a few seconds and then gives her an uncomfortable smile.

Moving around the wall, she leads Duncan into the kitchen. He takes a seat on one of the four stools stowed under the kitchen counter.

“Do you want a glass of iced tea?” she asks.

“Sure,” he says.

“It’s sweet tea.”

“Okay.”

She pours him a glass and tells him she’ll be right back. Her intention is to go to her room and change into her cleaning clothes, but she finds herself moving down the hallway, counting the steps to Rhys’ room. It is spacious - almost as large as her parents’ bedroom. The carpet is pink. The canopy bed has twinkle lights. She turns them on and then looks around. This room, indeed, the whole house, seems to be waiting, as if Rhys will be back any moment. All her things are here, almost exactly as she left them. Her mother dusts and vacuums the room and washes the bed covers every week.

Mallory slips off her shoes and climbs onto the bed, staring up at the canopy. When she was ten, she was so jealous of this bed. It was like something for a princess, magical. Now, she feels nothing.

“Hey, where are you?” Duncan calls out.

“In here,” she replies.

Duncan follows her voice and finds her there, on the bed.

“What’re you doing?” he asks.

“I’m not allowed to be in here,” she says. “But it’s not like I don’t miss her, too.”

She glances at a large photo that occupies a space where once there was a poster of a blonde Jesus praying, his blue eyes cast upwards towards heaven. Now, from under a tiara, Rhys the beauty pageant contestant smiles through the glass of a bejeweled frame.

“She was my parents’ pride and joy,” Mallory says.

Duncan is silent. She looks up at him. He is staring at the photo.

“My mother still cries every day,” she says.

It has been five years since Rhys died. And every day, Mallory’s parents grieve as if they have just received the news. She remembers that day, too. She was there, sitting on the sofa as two state troopers gave them the news. Her mother began to wail. Her father held his head in his hands. The troopers apologized as if they had been responsible.

“Our house is sad now,” she says.

“I’m sorry.”

“Me, too.”

“I better go,” he says.

She follows him outside to the car. As he opens the door, she stops him.

“I’d like to take you up on that drive,” she says.

“Okay,” he replies. “After supper?”

“Can you pick me up?”

“As long as it’s okay with your parents,” he says.

“I’ll call them.”

He agrees to pick her up at seven.

Inside, Mallory wanders the spotless house. She finds herself moving in numbered steps to Rhys’ room. Rhys’ baby shoes sit on the dresser. They are white leather with pink laces. She picks them up and sniffs at them, at the faint odor of leather and talcum. She opens the dresser drawers and stares at Rhys’ clothing. In one drawer are baby clothes, fancy little dresses and frilly little socks. In another drawer are pretty pajamas and little panties with the days of the week printed on them. In another are sets of shorts and t-shirts, and in another, socks and jeans. She takes out a pair of jeans and holds them next to her. They are too long. Rhys was tall and thin. She is not.

In the walk-in closet she finds Rhys’ Barbie doll house and the Barbies and their clothes. Dozens. They wear gowns, like the ones hanging in the closet. She feels strange and sits down. Everything sparkles. She picks up a Barbie, examines it, then pulls off its head. She does the same to the rest. Then the arms. Then the legs. She abandons their corpses in the bottom of the closet, leaving the door open and the lights on. She counts the steps as she moves down the hall to her parents’ room, her mind blank, her hands and feet numb.

The dressers in her parents’ bedroom sprout dozens of photos. Most are of Rhys. There are a few of Mallory. In one of them, she is ten, standing next to Rhys, who is fifteen and the recipient of a trophy. They are both smiling and holding hands. She feels an ache in her chest. She loved Rhys, too. They had been so close. The emptiness she feels has no words. Rhys was special. She was thoughtful and she loved Mallory and always knew how to make her feel special, too. Rhys never excluded her and always told her that she would grow up to be beautiful and talented. But that didn’t happen.

One by one, she relieves the frames of their photos. She rips the photos into strips as she goes, leaving them in the middle of her parents’ bed. She looks again at the photo of her and Rhys and slips it into her back pocket.

In the living room, more photos of Rhys with various family members smile into the emptiness of the house. These she has dusted every day for five years. A strange rage seizes her, and she begins hurling them into the fireplace, one by one, frame and all. All of the photos. All of the family. All of them, together in the fireplace. She stands there, holding the last one in her hands.

The last thing that Rhys had said to her was, “I’m sorry, honeydew, but you can’t come with me this time. I promise I’ll take you to the lake tomorrow. Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.” But she didn’t come back.

Mallory wanders into her own room and digs with anger through her crafting supplies until she finds a Sharpie. She blacks out the eyes and mouths of all her photos, even the ones in her yearbooks. She dumps the contents of her memento boxes onto the bed and finds the necklace that Rhys gave her for her twelfth birthday - a silver chain with a delicate crystal cross. She puts it around her neck and resumes wandering the house, counting the steps as she tries to remember the sound of Rhys’ voice.

Now, standing before the memorial, she stares at Rhys’ forever blue eyes. Her arms hang at her sides. She stands there, frozen in place until the sound of the doorbell startles her. Duncan is back. She can’t believe it’s seven already. He has changed clothes.

“I’ll be right out,” she says, and closes the door, leaving him on the porch.

She takes off her blouse and replaces it with one of her sister’s t-shirts. It is dark purple. Fancy white letters spell out “Be the Light Matthew 5:14.” The words are surrounded by delicate flowers and vines. She brushes her hair with Rhys’ hairbrush and puts on a pair of Rhys’ earrings and applies some of Rhys’ lipstick. She leaves the house, not bothering to lock the door.

“Where do you want to go?” Duncan asks.

She has no ideas but manages to smile. They end up in the parking lot of the county electric cooperative, where a group of Duncan’s friends have gathered in their cars. They all admire his new red BMW and start asking him technical questions. Duncan is polite and introduces her, and they say hello, to be polite, she thinks. She says hello back.

“The sound system is great,” Duncan is telling everyone, and turns up the radio.

She gets out of the car and wanders the parking lot while Duncan shows everyone something in the trunk. The sun will be setting soon. She is supposed to call her parents at eight. They want to know that she is not doing something she shouldn’t. She never does. She is a good, dutiful daughter. She does all her chores and never complains. She tends to their daily needs. But they don’t see her. She is not their beloved Rhys, to whom they always devoted their lives. Even now. Rhys is still their entire life, even though she’s gone. What they have left is Mallory, the one who isn’t their golden girl or shining light. Mallory knows that she is just ordinary. She will never be Rhys. And no one will ever love her like Rhys loved her. She aches for that love.

Overhead, the sky is bright. There is a slight breeze. Duncan and his friends have moved on and are now looking at the engine of someone’s giant pickup truck. She doesn’t know most of these boys. She doesn’t want to.

She picks a few flowers that are growing alongside the road. They are purple, Rhys’ favorite color. She remembers being in awe of Rhys, tagging along after her and intruding on her and her friends. Rhys never complained and would pick her up and hug her and kiss her. Rhys would hug her to sleep when she was sad. Now the sad never leaves.

Mallory admires the flowers, then drops them on the ground next to Duncan’s car. The boys are now revving up the truck’s motor and laughing and whoo-hooing. It is noisy. She takes the opportunity to slip into the driver’s seat of Duncan’s car. The music is so loud it almost hurts. And then, she watches herself start the car and put it in gear, as if she is someone else, someone now tearing out of the parking lot in Duncan’s red car.

Her hands feel strange, gripping the wheel. Her heart pumps. She speeds towards Eagle Ridge, to that bend in the twisting road, where the cross stands, decorated with silk flowers. Rhys had been with her friends that day. She had been driving the brand-new car that her parents gave her for graduation. A shiny red convertible. Five years ago, almost to the day. She was late. Speeding to get home. She lost control. Too fast, the state troopers said. She had been going too fast and lost control. The car hit the rock wall. She died instantly, they said. Her friends survived. The rock wall saved them from plunging over the cliff.

The tragedy had brought the whole town together, everyone said. They had all loved Rhys. Hundreds and hundreds of people came to the funeral. They cried and hugged her parents as Mallory stood there off to the side and invisible, listening to all the condolences. Everyone kept saying, “what a tragedy. Such a beautiful young girl.”

Such a beautiful girl. Our princess. The light of our lives. Such a treasure. A real talent. How lucky you were to have those years with her. She’s with her father in heaven now. Jesus had called her home, they all said. And Mallory stood there alone, watching her mother’s lips move as she thanked everyone. And then later, after the kitchen had been piled high with baked goods and casseroles and platters of fried chicken, her parents wept and held each other as she watched, uninvited, her grief silenced as she went about her chores.

Behind her, Mallory hears police sirens. More than one. She imagines three or four police cars are following her. She imagines that in one of the cars are the same troopers who stood in the living room and told them that Rhys was dead.

She hits the gas. The curve is coming up. She knows it well. They drive up here every Sunday after church to tend the cross and honor her sister’s memory. Now, she can see it, the rock wall, and next to it the opening in the ridge that leads to the valley below. She veers toward the opening, looking up through the sunroof at the blue band of heaven above, ready to join Rhys there.

When the chaos goes away, why do I kinda wish it stayed? I spent a year trying to make it out and I don't know how to function now. When the chaos goes away, why am I still not okay?

Saturday I felt pretty lazy after getting home from work so by the time the evening rolled around, I knew I needed to get out. I picked up poké for dinner and then went to the winery in town. I got a bottle of rosé but they would only allow me to drink one glass there since I was by myself. I thought it was pretty unfair. After only an hour of listening to the live music, I took my bottle and headed home.

Sunday I went to my sister's house and spent some time at the pool with her, my nieces and nephew, and their neighbor friends. I ended up finishing out the day with a yoga class. I knew I needed something for dinner and once I got home, there was no way I'd be going back out, so I went to Hudson House and sat at the bar. Since it was my last night of freedom before starting reserve, I really wanted to enjoy it. I got a lobster roll, a spicy cucumber margarita, and a lemon drop. It was kind of a splurge dinner but it was totally worth it. I guess that's the benefit of being single and dining alone -- a splurge dinner isn't that big of a deal when it's just you. I was probably the most underdressed person there in my yoga clothes but I didn't care all that much.

At home, I called it a night and went to bed since I needed to be up on time Monday morning for a virtual therapy appointment at 8am. I thought it was finally time to try a new therapist so I met with Diara and so far I like her and plan on meeting with her again next week.

Monday afternoon I was feeling brave so I ventured off to Costco, praying scheduling wouldn't call me at least until I got home. I had put in an aggressive bid for some ODANs but at the same time, didn't really want to go to work.

I was home making dinner by the time I got the call -- an assignment for an XNA ODAN, working with Katie and Lynnsie, two flight attendants that I actually enjoy working with. Our flight ended up being delayed but I went to work on time anyway. I couldn't sign in for my trip when I got there so I tried to call scheduling but after 40 minutes, I was late for sign-in and unable to get through to anyone. Katie called the MOD from her phone while I continued to wait on hold. The MOD couldn't sign me in either but alerted the tower that I was there and unable to sign-in. By some miracle, I was signed in eventually.

On our flight to XNA, Katie and I heard this really loud humming noise. It was so irritating that I called the captain. He asked us if we could figure out where it was coming from. We listened around and determined that it was the forward door that catering uses. It was then determined that we had an air leak.

In XNA, the captain tried to get them to send maintenance out right away but of course, luck would have it, they didn't come out all night. We had a short hotel nap and were back at the airport by 4am. We boarded the flight at 4:30am and then sat on the plane for hours waiting for maintenance. The maintenance guys said they couldn't open the aircraft door so I had to stand there opening and closing it for them, as needed. Once they thought they had resolved the issue, it was determined that we would need to do a pressurization test so all of the passengers would need to deplane.

We decided to go get breakfast so I got a bagel with lox and a latte. We got back to the plane and the test still wasn't done. Finally, the captain came out and told us the plane was done and out of service. He had accidentally pressed a button that caused the fire extinguisher in the cargo to go off so we could no longer fly the plane back to Dallas with passengers.

We called scheduling and they wouldn't put us on a deadhead until 8:15pm. We tried to get on a flight but of course, everything was oversold. Then we tried booking a rental car to drive home and the rental car companies all told us they were not accepting any same-day bookings. Instead, I booked our hotel rooms and we had the company send us an Uber to take us to the hotel.

As it turned out, the Uber driver's mom works in XNA in operations for my company. He got her on the phone and she told us that they had found new pilots and they would be ferrying the plane back to DFW and we could get on it.

We rested at the hotel briefly before going to Crabby's for lunch. I had ahi tuna with risotto.

We were finishing up lunch when we found out that our Uber back to the airport was on its way. We quickly rushed back to our rooms and changed as fast as possible.

Back at the airport, we talked to the agents and they allowed us back down to our broken airplane. Not long later, the pilots arrived from DFW and we took off on our passenger-less plane.

In DFW, we were supposed to land in terminal D and then ended up having to go to the hangar instead. It was quite an experience. The mechanics pulled up the ramp stand and then led us through the hangar to a van and drove us to the parking lots to our cars.

Of course, my drive home was during prime traffic hour so it took forever to get home and I was so anxious to get back to my dogs.

I forgot to cancel my yoga class that night so I went to yoga at 7pm, which was honestly probably what I needed anyway.

Wednesday morning I had my work meeting for my second job, since I had to ask my team to reschedule due to the trip drama on Tuesday. I was trying to get things done around the house, like laundry, packing, etc., but ended up on my couch napping in the afternoon. When I woke up, Matt texted me that there were 2-day trips open and I was next to be called. They ran through the reserve list so fast. I started freaking out and quickly packed my suitcase. I was literally sweating.

Of course, by the time my phone rang, it was prime traffic hour, once again, so I quickly threw everything in my car and drove through the insane traffic trying to get to my dog sitter's house an hour away. I knew I wouldn't make it to work on time and luckily, a friend of my mom's lives close to the airport so I dropped the dogs off with her and she took them the rest of the way to my dog sitter. I literally made it to work just in time.

I hadn't eaten much all day so I grabbed a loaded potato at Cousin's BBQ before boarding my flight to SNA. I knew it would be a while before I'd actually get to eat it.

I hadn't done a first-class meal service in probably at least three years and holy crap has it changed. We used to have two meal choices and now we have SIX! There were so many preorders, too, which you'd think would make it easier but everyone switched seats so no one was in their assigned seat. It was insane and I was so relieved when we finally arrived in California.

California was literally a breath of fresh air. It was only about 75 degrees, which is basically a cold front compared to DFW. I got to my hotel room and knew I didn't want to just go to bed. I decided to venture down to the hotel bar for a drink. I had a gin and tonic before asking them if they could make an espresso martini (and then had two of those). I ended up talking to a Southwest flight attendant and a Delta flight attendant, who were talking to this random lady at the bar. When the hotel bar closed down for the night, I mentioned that I wasn't ready to call it a night and the lady, Lacey, excitedly offered to join me.

I had found this place called Ruin Bar nearby and it looked super cool so I wanted to check it out since it was open until midnight. I got an Uber and Lacey came with me to the bar. She told me her life story and how she was staying at the hotel for a night away from her husband, who she had been married to for 30 years, but they had an argument about their three kids and she decided she needed to take a night to herself. I guess I've been through enough therapy myself that she told me that I should be a therapist because I was so good at listening to her and responding with the right questions and validation.

At the bar, we got some fun cocktails that were basically tropical-themed. We were sitting there and she was talking, waving her hands in the air when she accidentally hit a guy behind her. The guy behind her, Drew, turned out to be a comedian who had just come from his set and was grabbing a drink before calling it a night. We ended up talking to him and Lacey kept going on about wanting to go to Del Taco when she suddenly disappeared. She literally left the bar, drink in hand, Drew went after her, but she was nowhere to be found.

Drew and I finished our drinks before deciding to go to a dive bar where we had one more drink each and some food truck man came around taking orders for late-night food so we got some mac and cheese.

I think it was about 3am by the time I got back to my hotel room. I took a shower and crawled into bed. I set my alarm for 7:30am (brutal, I know) so that I could wake up on time to check for changes and cancelations for my other job and then let myself go back to sleep for another few hours.

By 11am, I was ready and went to the coffee shop next door for avocado toast and a strawberry matcha. I had a meeting with my coworker via video chat and then ran back to the hotel to get ready.

Drew picked me up around 12:30pm to go to Balboa Island. We walked through town, grabbed coffee, continued walking along the beach, and then stopped for lunch. I didn't get to eat much of my lunch because I needed to get back to the hotel so I had to take it to go.

Back in my room, I packed my bag and changed my clothes and then we were back at the airport ready to fly home.

Luckily the passengers were a little more relaxed going back to DFW than the ones going to SNA and I had four fewer passengers in first class, which also helped. I don't know what it was but I was so hot, especially from running up and down the aisle a million times, that I ended up feeling nauseous. I couldn't wait to get home.

Of course, it took me forever to get home last night because the highway was closed, yet again, so I had to take a massive detour. When I finally got home, it was about 11pm and I took a shower and immediately got into bed. I didn't have any Pepto left in my house and recently cleaned out old, expired meds so I didn't have any Tylenol or Advil. I just prayed that I'd feel better and went to sleep.

Fortunately, I felt better this morning and was able to get some work done and then go to yoga. I ran a few errands after that and then came home, did more work, and decided to make dinner/lunch since I've been cooking Home Chef meals this month. It turned out pretty good.

Now, I'm decompressing and trying to relax a bit before I head off to OKC tonight for another ODAN. I'm technically off today and the rest of the weekend but picked up this trip for extra money.

I'm really dreading Monday, now that I know I won't always be assigned ODANs on reserve this month. I feel like all of the plans that I made to prepare for this month just fell apart. All of the dog sitters I found locally are unreliable. I still don't understand the whole purpose of why I needed to move here for a year but I can tell you one thing -- this year has really made me appreciate the support I had where I used to live. There is honestly no better dog sitter than the one I have back there. It's weird being home alone without my dogs right now but it was too much back and forth for everyone so I'll pick them up tomorrow.

Hopefully, my trip tonight goes smoothly and I can get some sleep since I have a busy day tomorrow.

xoxo
