One day (off) in a life of a cabin crew :)

This is my third try of writing a post on this subject! I don't know how you people expect me to explain it to you easily :P
Ok, let's try one more time... :)

First of all I don't even know when that one day starts? At midnight? From when I open my eyes and wake up? Does that includes coming from a flight at 6am and sleeping untill 11am or 2pm or...and then being awake 'till 3 in the morning? What kind of a day are you interested in knowing about?
I'll try to describe to you one proper day off.

Like to wake up around 10am, maybe 11, if I'm lucky to sleep well and then it depends what kind of mood I'm in, maybe I'll go to the pool, maybe I'll go to head quarters if there's something I have to do there, maybe I'll go to one of the malls, or I would just stay home doing laundry, being lazy thinking how it would be great to go to the gym (but I skip that thought very quickly :p) and wait for Adri or other girls to wake up so we do something together, or we just make lunch and spend a day in front of TV.
Time passes so fast here it's unbelievable, sometimes I ask myself where did that day just go?!
Malls are so huge and to go there and get back takes time, traffic can be awful... Doing laundry, cleaning your home and making yourself spa treatments (or actually going for one) and there you go, it's already evening! That's just crazy! :)

What if we decide to go out, or you have a night flight and you can't sleep before it, your day can easily turn from a 24hours day to a 48hours one, you forget when you slept or ate last time...

This post is just impossible :) Every day is different but sometimes, somehow is the same! Does it make any sense?
Sometimes when I'm feeling down I spend a day in my appartment reading a book, watching movies, texting with my friends back home... Sometimes we go to the beach, sometimes we visit each others at our homes or sometimes we meet out for a drink, lunch, dinner. Sometimes we go treat ourselves with a little shopping. Sometimes we start drinking early and end up somewhere without planning it :) Sometimes we make so much food (read: during PMS :) ) and we just eat, talk, gossip, watch tv, cry over some love movies or spend time on each computers :D

Let's put it like this - what do you do during weekends? When you have your days off? It's the same thing, you enjoy it doing whatever you feel like doing at that time :) The only difference is that here the same people are your friends AND family so everything you do you do with them!
A few days ago we made a decission - if I'm off and one of my girls is flying somewhere nice I'll just buy a ticket and go with her for a day! And the other way around! That's how we'll visit more destinations and spend more quality time together :) Have some great layovers without working on that specific flight :D
Starting next month, just waiting for the rosters to come out! :)

Oh my... I still didn't say anything interesting to you, and I feel like this is far from the answer you were looking for :)
Alright T, concentrate!
My day yesterday started at 11am, I woke up and went to Madina mall for some groceries and a pharmacy but then I saw a big big red sign saying 'SALE', actually a lot of those signs in a perfume shop where Adri and me always buy them (we get big discounts as well cause we always buy more than one and because the mall is in the middle of nowehere so they are trying to attract people to the mall by downsizing prices). The guy recognized me immediately so I ended up with 3 again, 2 for me and 1 for my baby bro :)
Wanna know the discount prices? Juicy couture 100ml, usually costs around 450-470 dirhams (close to 100euros) but now it is 115 dirhams, which is around 23euros! Enough said! :)

Groceries shopping after that was pretty poor cause I was like "I don't really need this, I will survive without this, this is not really healthy at all..." (looking at my new perfumes) :))

Bought some fish for lunch for Miss M and me but then she called to come at her place for some coffee with her girls, so we spent a few hours sitting, chit-chatting... Later afternoon I made that fish for a late lunch, Miss M went to prepare herself for a Mauritius flight and I cleaned my room a little bit, did my nails, shower, all of that, watched a movie, started writing this, some whatsapping with my friends and read a book before sleep, and that was my day, that was my tuesday :)

Didn't look exactly like this but close enoug for the first time :))

Today is my rest day which means I have a night flight (to Frankfurt) and at 2am I have to be at the briefing so I woke up early this morning to make myslef sleepy before the flight and hopefully to fall asleep before work, packed my suitcase, went to the pool for and hour or 2, and now I'm going to cook something... Crazy interesting! :p
But...better now? Enough details? :)
Not much and yet it was a good day, or two... :)

Maybe I should've pick some other day to write this and to describe it but after all during these few days off I had, I found the time to do almost everything from this list! :)
How did you spend yours? ;)

Have yourself a beautiful day! :)
