What is it about airports that 1. Makes me hungry the moment I’m past security 2. Crave ginger ale and 3. Want to pee every 10 minutes?

Sitting here in LAX, just pounded down an overpriced and underwhelming breakfast burrito, already thinking about finding a $4 ginger ale (ya girl doesn’t even drink soda) and wanting to pee for the 3rd time.

I got here stupid early because I kept getting text notifications about long security lines but it was a breeze.

I heard once that ginger ale helps calm your stomach while on planes. I looked it up and this was the first thing I found: https://www.rd.com/advice/travel/crave-ginger-ale-on-planes/[1]. The article references reddit so I guess we’ve gone full circle.

You know where I find myself famished? On airplanes!

I wolf down those little TV dinners like they're the love children of Julia Child and Wolfgang Puck. : D

Are you nervous? Maybe those are subconscious pleasures for calming the nerves.
