We had a long day yesterday with Sherri working and then we drove to Jennings to meet Phyllis and Leonard. With the long day and all we decided to stay the night at the Motel in Lafayette. Well that was a mistake because Sherri nor I slept real well and when the alarm went off this morning Sherri was not at all rested and we had to rush her to work because we were late. Well it did not turn out to be a good start to a work day. I did get her dropped off and then I went back to the Motel to work on some computer stuff that I had. We are on a Wifi there and I can down load without using up my KB’s with their connection.
The hours drug past while I was waiting for Sherri to get off work. I looked up everything I could think about and then started spinning around in my chair to see if I could make myself dizzy. I would get up and walk around and entertained myself for some time.
It was about 12:00 noon when the maid came by and wanted to know if I wanted room service. I was so glad to see someone that I wanted her to just set and talk with me for a while. She was really behind in cleaning the rooms and I think I creeped her out somewhat…me setting in the chair at the desk spinning around and plucking on the computer now and again. I could see that she was a little nervous so I got my keys and went down to Albertson’s to get me some chips and a cold drink. All I had was a waffle about 6:30 and I was getting pretty hungry by this time. I got my stuff at Albertson’s and struck up a conversation with the girl that ran the self check out stands. I told her I did not know how to check my self out and would she help me…Well now if that did not sound weird…I am glad they did not have me removed from the store after that one. I decided about this time that it would be best if I just eased back on over the the Motel room and lock myself up in the room until Sherri got off.
I don’t do alone too well unless I have something to entertain me. I can see staying in a motel room is not going to work for me. Tonight I am going home and staying there no mater what the plan is.
Sherri did finally call me and I was so glad to have someone to talk to. I went to the store and picked her up and we returned to the motel to make eating plans for the evening. I was really excited about going out to eat with people and having someone there to visit with. We decided to go to the Casino in Opelousas. They have a real good buffet there and then Sherri wanted to hit the machines for a short time.
We got there and met Brenda for dinner. After we ate we did go and play the machines some…I lost $5.00 and was just sick about it. Sherri won $78.00 and she was pleased but being so tired she wanted to head home and relax.
We got home and took hot showers and then got on the computers for a bit. It was not to long before we nodded off…

Missing you guys

Me too. I hate being alone with nothing to do, that's what chat is for. he he Speaking of chat, see ya there later.
You are dangerous when left alone! I think all that spinning scrambled your brains. Ha.
My late DH has been gone for 8 years now, and we did everything together. I was lost at first, but I have too much to do to get lonely. I fact, I hate interruptions when I am here by myself in the afternoons!
I wouldn't want to spend the day in a motel room, but if I had a computer with me, I could keep myself amused all day. There are so many RVing blogs and forums out there.
