I left the house earlier than I had planned today. Mostly
because I was so antsy that I might start housework or mowing the lawn before a
6 ½ hour drive.
I’m glad that I left early, because I ended up having to
make a few stops. 1) For snacks. 2) For potty breaks 3) for a new charger.
Traffic wasn’t too bad and Google maps on my phone worked
AWESOME! I actually didn’t get lost or misdirected ONCE!!! I guess sometimes
big brother isn’t so bad. A lot of road work is going on right now, and if I
hadn’t been driving all the vibrations would have been a fun ride. Not so much
when you are driving an SUV and trying to combat wind as well as grooved
pavement.
The only irritation with drivers was when I tried to pull
out after getting gas on the Mass Pike. Some ass hat stopped in the middle of
the exit. When I tried to go out around him, the guy who was trying to go out
around me got pissy and honked at me.
While Google maps is AWESOME, it did kill my battery. I went
to plug it in, and the charger I brought with me WOULD NOT WORK! I went to the
front desk to see if they might have one; the girl was not overly helpful. I
ended up going to the W-Mart just down the street from my hotel. Well, it was a
ghetto W-Mart. Not that W-Mart is upscale in any way shape or form, but this
was the worst!!! I hate W-Mart anyway, but holy hell!! This location was not
even a super W-Mart! They were under construction to become a Supercenter, but
even with that being said, I’ve never seen a W-Mart with such bare shelves. I
tried to get an adapter to make my car charger a wall charger as well. The man
tried to tell me that they don’t make such a thing. I know they do, because I
used to sell them when I worked for the cell company. Then he tried to sell me
an iphone charger. I showed him my phone even. GRRR… eventually I walked out
with a cable to hook up to my computer to charge it. I will be returning it as
soon as I can. My phone has been on the charger for three hours and it is
barely at 50% charge.
While I was leaving W-Mart some guy yelled out his car that
he wanted a piece of that (as in me). He also proceeded to tell me he loved me…and
then the car swung around. I thought for sure I was going to be followed. I got
into my car, locked all the doors and made it back to the hotel without
incident.
I finally ironed and put away all of my clothes. I decided
to go exploring. I found the pool, the fitness room and the laundry. I don’t
exactly know where the entrance is to the fitness room. I will have to find
that tomorrow night. I also realized that I did not bring any type of detergent
for my clothes. I’m hoping that I won’t have to go back to the ghetto W-Mart
for detergent.
I took the first bubble bath I had in years with my Hello
Kitty Bubble Bath that I got from my former co-worker.
I popped a Tylenol PM, so I think it is time for bed….
Stay tuned for more of my Adventures in Connecticut!
