Medical situation in SNA, and that's a spirit flight, so I was wondering if it's DVT related..

November commute was cheaper than October due to some holidays (Veteran's day and Thanksgiving) so I did less trips to school. In December the commute cost would be cut down by half since the last day of fall semester was Dec 16th, 2022. Sorry for the delay of this Nov 2022 trip report. I will try to update Dec 2022 and Jan 2023 trip reports as soon as I can. Thanks for reading!
