airline miles returned

 i found things to do on a day off. this included going to the airport and finding out what my options were on the miles used with delta for a canceled flight to chicago last year during the earliest days of the pandemic. i was given an alternate number to try, and after being on hold for 40 minutes i got through. the airline miles were returned to my account, and not a moment too soon. later that evening i used them to book a flight for next month. at first i did not go when called over, as it was an agent who was handling international flights according to the video board above. so the end result of last year's chicago trip was getting back most of what was paid, except for one of the two nights at the hotel. guess it could have been way worse. it meant skipping my routine of watching 'big bang theory' reruns but i didn't mind. getting this done was more important. and there is a good chance i will still see them for the other four weeknights this week. i went in the late afternoon as i laid down after having lunch and was surprised at how long i was asleep. i had the 'burger in the box' bought from walgreen the previous day. in the morning i got some small things done around the home, such as get more comedy souvenirs into a binder. actually it was one of three, the other two were for work and sports. i had just one unused sheet protector left, so i decided to re-purpose two of them. this is yet another case of 'stressing quality' when looking what was already in the binders. i spoke to my college roommate about how it looked like a 'daunting task' to make a list of 14 things to do this weekend, but i am pleased how i got all but one of them done. during my walks for the day i found 1 dollar 20 cents.
