this morning, though

Oh my goodness gracious, I finally made it to the airport. But it has already been a journey getting to this point.
Although I tried to make plans beforehand for somebody to drop me off at the airport, I wasn't able to do so until the night before the trip. My friend Tristan was gracious enough to give me a ride. We leave at 3:00 AM, eat at the Waffle House, and proceeded to Memphis. Thirty minutes outside the airport, something shifted inside the vehicle and made a loud thump. We pulled over and the car started smoking! It would turn back on, but the transmission wouldn't work. We called Tristan's mom to come and pick us up, but it would be another 45 minutes before her arrival.
While we were waiting in the hot and stuffy car, mosquitoes began eating us alive. I swear, we each received about 20-30 bites by the end of it. We stepped out only to be bitten by more.
In the end, we made it to the airport with new flights scheduled and half eaten flesh.
