At the camp, I shared a room with Bronwyn and Ky. We were in an upstairs room that the walls were the under part of the roof (I know there is a term for it but I can't think of it). The first night I kept on banging my feet on the ceiling/wall. I generally did not sleep well at camp.
The meetings were good. With the exception of Uno one afternoon, my activities were just visiting. I was very glad to see my sister and was very sad to leave my sister. The camp went by so fast, I felt our time was too short together. There were other people that wanted to visit with Chris and Maryanne so I had to share. I cried when I hugged her good bye (not a normal Janny thing).
On the last morning of camp the ground was covered in slush. It had started raining over night and turned to snow. It was rather messy for driving home the first day. I was driving right before we got to our motel. We might have been able to go farther but we were too tired and I had a headache. I crawled into bed the moment we got in the room. I took some pain killers then slept for 12 hours. Proof of how tired and sick Janny was:
* I went to my beloved Taco Bell and only ordered a drink (I did not get a single chicken burrito).
* went to bed at 8:45 pm
* did not change into pjs for bed. Slept in jeans all night. Yuck. I was too tired to care.
* took out my ear plugs and carefully placed them on the bedside table. I usually remember when I wake up. I wish I had not taken them out since later that night my mom was snoring.
* after sleeping 12 hours, I slept most of the next day in the van
The closer we got to home the next day the more slippery the roads were. The last leg of the trip normally takes 2.5 hours and it took us 4 hours (Swift Current to Regina for those of you familiar with the area). I had been planning to go back to Saskatoon on Monday but a combination of a late start and bad roads, I stayed over night in Regina.
I traveled back to Saskatoon Tuesday afternoon. the roads were still lousy. It took me about 45 minutes more than usual to get home. I had to call and cancel a tutoring session for that night.
I'm not sure where I can fit this last story but it needs to be told. We were stopping in Sparwood (home of the world biggest truck) to take a bathroom break. The visitors' centre had closed about 20 minutes before we got there. We decided we would try the Husky down the road. We pulled up and realized that it was pretty small so we didn't know what they had for washrooms. We decided to use the A&W bathrooms because as my father put it the Husky bathrooms "were pretty well arranged by midgets". I am not sure what that means and I don't think he knows either. I will never let him live it down. He is notorious for say ridiculous things.
Those are all of the stories I can think of for now.
