I am sitting comfortably on April and Myles's couch in their new home. Their home is so homey and beautiful. I LOVE it!!! I stayed here last night on their amazing couch. I got the best sleep I have had in a very long time.
The first night down here I slept in the hotel room with Monte and Anton. Sigh. I was sound asleep when they bust in somewhere around two or three in the morning. Then when we all settled, every little move they made sounded like a gun going off. And jeez! they are so smelly. Smelly feet. Smelly pits. Gaseous emissions. I didn't really go back to sleep after that.
So last night around 11 the fire in the fireplace slowly died, the christmas tree smelled heavenly, the murmur of people in the distance, I drifted off to sleep and didn't wake up til five thirty this morning. Unheard of!
Today I am spending a quiet day by myself in April's place. I wish I had a car, I would have tried to see Clare and Tish. It has been way too long since I saw them last. But I don't have transport. Monte and two buddies are picking me up at four thirty. We then pick up a friend of April's then we pick up April from her work and then we go and pick up Emily and then we go downtown and find parking and go for dinner and then to the Dandy Warhols!!!
Now this van has only five seats in it right now. So two people are going to have to sit on the floor. But I am going to make sure Emily is in a seat and belted down...my sister would kill me if she wasn't! Actually the back seat holds three so the three girls will be fine. But the two boys are going to have to sit on the floor. I promised them that if we get tickets I will pay the fines! Monte's a good driver so I am not too worried. They can always get out and get a bus too. Their choice.
It snowed here yesterday. I hate to sound like those smug inlanders but seriously, you would have thought the world was ending. People down here not only can't drive in one inch of snow, but they have awful tires. You should have seen it!!! A total gong show. If you have a shitty car and a shitty driving record, STAY HOME. Its not fair to all the other people with decent wheels and a decent ability to drive...in ONE INCH of snow.! They would never survive in Kamloops.
Well its time to go get ready and pack my stuff up. Tonight should be a hoot and I am spending the night with Emily!!! Hopefully we won't be too tired when we get home and can do a little catch up. I know she has to go to work in the morning. I shall report soon on how it all went! TTYL
