Hello everyone, welcome back to my channel, I'm Julia a dallas-based flight attendant I am on reserve this month today is Monday
So I thought it would be really fun to take you all along with me on a week in my life as a reserve flight
Attendant right now. I am finishing packing for my standby shift
So I have my toiletries right here tennis shoes right here my makeup right here makeup remover wipes lotion
I have my hair straightener down here toothbrush right here some sandals and extra tights so far
Packing for airport standby is literally so weird because you have zero clue where you could possibly be going when I'm on airport standby
I pack everything from jeans tank tops shorts
jackets
pajamas
bathing suits
sports bras and
Just anything I can think of
I have also meal prepped just in case if I do get called for a trip tonight some snacks that I always bring with me
on every trip are a jar of peanut butter some bagels some instant oatmeal that I can usually make for breakfast and
I usually bring some granola bars and this is a protein cookie in here
I've also meal prepped two servings of rice chicken bell pepper corn and broccoli
It's just all mixed together
and I also have some apples over here and it is always a bit of a risk to bring fruit and
vegetables and meat on a standby shift because if you get sent to another country more than likely you are gonna have to throw that
Food away. However, I could also get sent somewhere domestically and I guess it's a risk
I'm willing to take that way. I can have my own food. I love this lunchbox
I've been using it for probably a year and a half and I have brought it on
Every single one of my flight attendant trips and I seriously love how much stuff you can fit into it and with it completely
Packed like this it will close and zip up very easily. So I'll definitely put a link to it in the description box below
Alright, Ileana I gotta go to work
I love you uniform is on and I am ready to head out the door
this
Standby shift is nice because I didn't have to wake up at like the crack of time to be there but on the flip side
I do have to stay late and also Eric will be driving home from work. Well, I am heading to work
so we're gonna miss each other which kind of stinks I
Am just now leaving my house about to drive to the airport
And I know that a lot of you have been following my channel for a while
So, you know what airport standby is but for those of you who don't the reason why we have airport standby is to cover
last-minute scheduling hiccups
So an example of that would be a flight attendant who calls in sick last-minute for their trip and they need someone within
15 minutes to be able to cover that flight what they would do is they would call someone like me and what I'm doing tonight
Who is on airport standby to rush over to that gate and to work that flight? I've been feeling small
Watch the clock ticking
I've just got to the airport and now I am heading over to the D terminal where I will sit for my stamp I shift
for six hours
And I actually got here early because I thought there is going to be traffic and of course there wasn't
Some things that I like to do. Well on my standby shift are read take a nap
I
Usually call Eric most of the time I edit YouTube videos and I kind of just hang out and wait to see if scheduling will
Call me for a trip
So that is what I plan on doing
And I will let you all know if I get called for a trip or if I don't and I get to go home
Well, you guys they got me about two hours into my standby shift
I have been called for a san salvador all-nighter turn and as most of you know
These are kind of like my least favorite flights to work. So I'm flying tonight from Dallas to San Salvador and
Immediately turning around and flying from San Salvador back to Dallas and I will be back here tomorrow morning at 6 a.m
Good morning everyone. It is 5:45 a.m
I just got back into Dallas both flights were pretty easy
It was a three-hour flight to San Salvador and it was a three and a half hour flight back
I'm obviously pretty tired staying up all night
but I'm really hoping that by the time I
Get to the employee bus and then get to my car at the employee parking lot and drive home at that
I will get to see Erik. Even if it's just real quick before he heads off to work
also
I don't think that I should have any other reserved assignments for today because I do believe that since I was assigned
this overnight flight
It does count as my reserved assignment from yesterday and today it is now 11:30 a.m
When I came home Erik was actually still in bed
So we did get to see each other before he had to go to work
I fell asleep with my makeup on and so I feel super gross
That's something that I try to never do but I have this one
that I got to cuddle with I
Try to not sleep in past noon after working red-eye flight just because I don't want to throw my sleep schedule off
Even more and I know that if I just continue sleeping all day, then why not manners excuse you
Then I won't be able to sleep tonight. You need my breakfast now, and I'm about ready to
Upload a new video onto YouTube and we have recently discovered that Luna loves to look out this window in our office
She'll seriously sit there all day and just stare out the window
Honestly, I am feeling pretty lazy, but it is seriously such a beautiful day out in Dallas today
And I don't want to waste that so I go to the park
I'm walking with Luna and I'm sorry this video is shaky Luna likes to pull on her leash
She is such a great dog, but she is not the best at walking on her leash
I can't believe that I'm just now finding at this Park in bike trail. It is seriously so nice
I feel like I'm gonna take lanai here all the time now
I think Luna is a little bit worn out after our walk
Erik is home now from work, and I think Luna might have missed him just a little bit. That was really cute. You guys really?
cuddling and so now we're gonna watch part 1 the season finale of The Bachelor if you've been watching The Bachelor
This season, what are your thoughts personally?
This hasn't been my favorite season of the show
But I'm excited to see how it ends Luna looks like a little kangaroo when she lays like this
This secret, the following love is not going on a reality show
Good morning everyone. It is Wednesday. It's 9:30 a.m
And I woke up at 7 when Erik was getting up for work, and then I fell back asleep because I'm just so tired
I really needed to catch up on sleep. However, I have been on call from 2 a.m. Until 2 p.m
Today and obviously so far. I have not been called and I do have Thursday and Friday off
So if I don't get called today?
It's like I had 3 full days off today is kind of a get my life together day
I want to go to the gym. I want to clean. So yeah, that's what I have going on today
I am feeling very tired
But I'm hoping that this pre-workout will give me some energy to go get in a good workout
And this was a sample of the 1up nutrition green-apple that I really like, but I usually only do half a serving
That's all I usually need. I'm heading out the door. Hopefully I can go get in a really good workout
I was talking on the phone with Erik during his lunch break and I have just been
Exhausted and I like couldn't figure out why I mean to the point where I didn't even want to get out of bed
I don't want to be productive
Like I literally don't want to do anything and he was saying that it's probably daylight savings. My body is still adjusting
He also mentioned too that it's real
For your body to get up when it's don't really dark out and with daylight savings when he's getting up for work
It is still pitch-black out and it also doesn't help that right after daylight savings. I immediately worked that all-nighter turned but i'm not gonna
Push myself super hard at the gym today. I kind of just want to ease back into it
So I think I'm just gonna do like a really good cardio day and stretch
Just finished my workout and it went really well there's a few other errands I want to run
I really want to head to the post office and set up APO box because I really want to start doing giveaways on my channel
Just to show you guys like how appreciative I really am for all of your support and for subscribing to my channel it really
Really means the world to me and then I'm gonna go pick up a new frisbee for Luna because we lost her favorite one
Oops, it is actually 1:11 p.m. Right now. I have an updated hood lock on my car yet. So technically I still have
49 minutes left on call
However, I don't think they're gonna call me today for a trip because today is the last day that I am good on reserved
So if they were to call me all they could give me it was a day trip right Luna
Mommy has a brand new present for you. You see what this is
See what it is. Oh you want I have to take the package off first though. What? All right
There you go. You can have an L Luna. It's actually Thursday afternoon
Now last night was a bit of a weird and emotional night for me last night President Trump announced the travel restrictions on Europe
I actually cried and I'm trying to not freak out and I'm feeling much more level-headed today
I just went and worked out blew off some steam and pretty soon
I'm gonna take Luna to the park and just relax outside since it is such a beautiful day the good thing about not like oh
Thank you, Anna. It's like to spend more time with this crazy girl
It will definitely be interesting to see over these next few months what happens with the travel industry and my job as a flight attendant
So I'll do my best to keep you all updated and informed on everything going on. Alright
I
Think someone is tired laying down in the grass Luna don't eat the grass
No, don't eat that. I need to get one of those doggie bowls that pop up
So for now I just have a regular bowl from home and I'm gonna pour her some water. Are you tired Luna?
Come here. Come drink some water
Good girl
Eric and I are gonna make these could die of a molten lava cake
So we will see if these are good Riesling is one of my favorite white wines
so we picked up this new one from Oregon and
Eric really
Really? Oh, it's not it was like blurry on your face
careful, babe
Okay. All right and back to the regularly scheduled flog. Oh my gosh. Now that thing's beeping. Okay
anyways
I got this wine because I thought the bottle was really pretty if it will focus
Come on, focus focus. This is really not going. Well. Okay. There we go
Okay, so this bottle I got because it was really pretty and it was only like $8 from Costco
Let's try it's new at Riesling it's good. It's a little too sweet for me, but it's
Yeah
No, yeah
I think this tasted really sweet to me because I've been drinking a lot of bread lately and I have my head white in a
While or Riesling so I think that's why this was really sweet, but it's still really good
Morning everyone and happy Friday. I'm about to head out the door and go to Costco. So it is
9:57 right now and I just got to Costco they open in three minutes and the parking lot is
Completely packed already. I just got into Costco and
they said at the entrance that everyone was limited to I believe it was two cases of water and
One pack of toilet paper. So I think that is pretty interesting gotta pick up the essentials first
I mean if I'm getting quarantine then might as well have fun, right they are limiting everyone to two cases of water
I just heard a worker
Telling everyone not and this is where the toilet paper and paper towels usually are but I just found out they are
Completely out of both just left Costco
I'm gonna sit in my car and just take a breather for a minute before I drive home
That was probably one of the most stressful shopping experiences. I have ever had
It wasn't really crowded when I first got into the store and then by the end it was so packed
It was so hard to maneuver and just walk around
However, the employees were amazing if you work at Costco Bravo
I can't even imagine how difficult of a time it is to work in a grocery store right now
The employees did a great job of managing everyone and moving everyone around to where they needed to go
Especially at the checkout line guys, the checkout line was so long
I have never seen a checkout line for any store as long as it was today in Costco. It's still pouring ran out
So I'm just drive home slow and as carefully as I can
Put all of these groceries away and then go get dog food for Luna because obviously Lunas gotta eat too
So even though I went and bought a ton of food from Costco earlier today
Eric and I are feeling lazy and so we're kick. Okay, Domino's Pizza for dinner
I have a pizza delivery for. Mm-hmm. Yes. We eat pineapple on our pizza
