Last night was hell...
I think I got a total of three hours sleep! That's on top of all the sleep I lost worrying about finding a place to live. I had to sleep in one of the dingiest, dirtiest motels I've ever had the, uh, what's the opposite of priveledge? Oh, misfortune! On of the dirtiest motels I've ever had the misfortune to sleep in. Not that I did a lot of that. The place is called the Park Lane Motel in Medicince Hat. They don't like me bad mouthing them? Sue me! If they were ever awarded a star, they should give it back. The place smelled like the inside of one of those smoking rooms you'd see in a Montreal mall. And that's before you get to the room. After a brief overview of the room, I dubbed the Park Lane in French, le Motel de Urine.
Upon getting to the room and deciding to turn in, I pulled back the comforter...Then quickly put it back. I didn't like the look of the blood stain. So I laid on top of the comforter! With my clothes on! With the lights on! And I stayed awake for hours. One wall was concrete, the other drywall, and I swear it was the concrete wall that was making all the noise. That was okay though because it was drowning out the loud whir comin from the dirty, skanky little bar fridge beside the wardrobe. Even the obligatory bible beside the bed had been savaged.
But you know what? Kay and Carl rescued me from staying there again. Not only that, but Carl took me for a ride to look at one of the places I was qualifying, and now I finally have a basement sweet (it's suite, I know! But it's sweeeeet!) to call my temporary home. The only thing it lacks is launry facilites. Oh, well! Guess I'll smell a bit!
On the vehicle front, I've got two dealers battling it out for my business trying to sell me a 4x4. Let's see who wins. I think it'll be the guy that goes the lowest. Teh heh!
Once again, I don't know how long it'll be for my next post. I'm using Kay and Carl's computer right now...with their permission, of course. Now it's quarter to 9pm, and I believe I need to catch up on some much needed slumber time. Thanks for all the well wishes everyone! Keep the good thoughts coming.
