Back at it, getting my noodle fix in China.

Back in the day, my first job was on a Cessna Caravan— this is exactly what it looked like with that dumb little hot plate on the windshield, hand flying to minimums in O’Hare during a winter storm.

I’m not big on holidays. Early on in my career, I made peace with perhaps not having the day off— the time you make for loved ones, regardless of the date, is far more important. Today I’m thankful for my weird internet friends who keep me company all across the globe. 💜 (I’m on call in ANC today!)

Yeeee haw! Anchorage just had a decent jolt— my flight or fight response was…I’m staying in this bed.

I'm sure theft plays a role in this, but I simply don't care that retailers lose money by making their shopping experience miserable. I left the store tonight because 90% of the items I needed were locked up or out of stock.

The urge to delete all social media and just rot into the ether. Unfortunately, my mouth is too big, and I’m too cute.

I’ve been mulling about how to convey this in a non-pitiful way. But my life is, for the most part, fruitful and fulfilling. I own my place, have an interesting career, and a busy social calendar. However, I still crave that intimate, romantic companionship.

As a passenger, I love a solid nine hour flight. Wine and dine me over an emotional movie, get a lil tipsy and feel the feels, then nap it off. Wake up, feed me again, write in my journal, and boom. It’s time to land. Even better if this is the view:

Because I’m flying into YVR to get home, I have a question for my Canadian friends: if I have 3L of olive oil, do I need to declare it at customs?

My arrival last night was in the dark, so I could not appreciate this ridiculous view. Not much of a wifi scene, so I’ll be saving my data and not worrying about y’all, lovingly. If you need anything, no you don’t. Ciao! 🇮🇹

I’m working on my cinematography skills, but this made me think of The Devil Wears Prada. That’s all. (Good morning, Paris!)

Anyway, back on my rich auntie shit. I’m off to Italy to make some pasta, taste some wine, and do some yoga. Do not disturb, unless you’re cute.

As if controllers are just like "mmmmyeah, I don't feel like it today 💅🏼" He's such a bizarre and unserious person.
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

If I get even ONE fundraising email from a Democrat tomorrow, I will send the pettiest reply.

What a feckless and unserious party. I'm talking about both of them. Schumer has to go, and there needs to be a complete overhaul of priorities: they caved.

I might’ve spent a few days at the beach, but there’s nothing like that hit of fresh, crisp Seattle air to welcome you home.

Despite everything, I really am a proud American. However, last night, someone told me I seemed Canadian and I absolutely took that as a compliment.

It’s a tough day for all of aviation, but cargo pilots especially. I found out from my mom, who had endearing and supportive things to say. 💜

Plane math is weird. I’m a revenue pax today (I haven’t flown standby in a looong time), and I accepted fate in my perfectly fine Premium Economy middle seat. I was number six on the upgrade list with two open up front, and yet here I am in 1F 💅🏼

Mmmok swap Sweden for Sicily, and we have a deal. Stay tuned.
Is it wrong to bug off to Sweden for a week if the point redemption is worth it? I mean. I *should* stay home, but.

I finished season three of The Diplomat. Nothing will beat the cliffhanger of season two. And I’m not shocked by the cliffhanger of this season. I’m not saying it’s bad, I just don’t think it was as jaw dropping.

I’m already in bed. I’m not much of a costume, Halloween gay. But rest assured that a hex or two was cast 💅🏼
