Nothing good can happen to me

I was supposed to be going to Miami this weekend with some girlfriends, and since my break up Monday, it's been the only bright spot in my life. I went to print out my boarding pass for the 3pm flight arriving Miami at 7 only to find out the flight had been cancelled. Over 45 min of back and forth with Delta, I'm now on a 9pm flight out of NEW JERSEY (so add another 30min to get there and another $50 at least for the cab). It gets better. I'm arriving after midnight. Into West Palm Beach. So add another HOUR traveling and god only knows how much for a car service to the hotel. I had to order a new phone and phone # but they couldn't guarantee it would get to me here before I left, so I had it delivered to the hotel. I called the hotel. The consierge station closes at 10pm, so I can't get my phone. Is there a reason nothing goes right for me? Are the gods seeing how much I can take before totally exploding? I'm crying at my desk in the middle of the office right now. I was supposed to be at the airport.

I'm sure this seems really bad on top of your recent breakup, but travel is so unpredictable these days I almost am surprised when it DOES go smoothly. I'm sure if you weren't feeling so vulnerable and upset because of your breakup, you'd just roll with this.

You'll get there and it will be fun. So you pick up your phone tomorrow morning. You'll be ok.

When it rains it pours and I KNOW how you feel about nothing going right. It's terrible and it feels like everything is just determined to get you down. but on the up side you are going on a much needed vacation which is great! I'm in a downpour right now and all I want to do is go away and I'm unable to take vacation for 3 months because of my new job. So look at the small things. I know it sucks but pay attention to those small things. Right now I'm so broke but I keep telling myself its because I have to pay for my fabulous apartment. I love it and its the only thing that went right for me in months so I hold onto it like a security blanket.
