So, I lost power last evening. Sean was at work and my Mom was at a graduation party. I was in the middle of watching Labyrinth for the third time in three days. The TV went out and it was a brown out and then a couple minutes later, the air went out so I called my Mom. She was at my house within a half hour.
She got me ready to leave my house and packed an overnight bag for me and for Sean. I was about 9 o’clock when we started calling hotels to get a room. We called to a total of 15 hotels in order to get a room that were all completely booked! The room we ended up getting last night was in Troy and was NOT handicapped accessible.
After so many phone calls and sitting in the car for so long, we took the room. We waited for Sean at his work parking lot which was next to what used to be Lonestar (Where I worked The summer after high school). We ended up checking in a little bit after 1 AM. Because it was so late and we were so far from home, my Mom stayed over with us. Sean told me once that even if a place was NOT handicapped accessible, my Mom and he would get me there if I wanted!
Well, I wanted to do it yesterday because I needed the air conditioning. It was necessary for me to survive the night with this heat! They both came through with shining colors!
At 2 o’clock in the morning, my Mom booked a room at a different hotel, one by my house. She used my card. So much for savings! The receptionist recommended that we book it then. She told us the rooms were going fast so here I sit, in a NOT accessible room again.
We checked in and all three of us fell asleep because we were so tired from last night! Because we were so far from home, the other patrons at the hotel did not look like they were displaced because of power outages but we sure did! The bacon was really good at the continental breakfast! I told the hostess and she said that they always get compliments on the bacon!
Eating breakfast at the buffet, I realized how bad it looks when you are on a carb free diet. My Mom brought me a plate piled with only eggs and bacon. I DID have a cheese danish though! Hey man, it’s tough being displaced from your house in a hotel that is NOT accessible!
