Aloneotel
Sitting by myself in a hotel room in Springfield Missouri. I am starting to get a cold and am sneezing all over the place. I walked to the local conveience store and almost instantly saw a sixer of Mickey’s brain grenades. Holy crap they are good. You know how when you go to a cheap hotel they have the giant HVAC unit crammed into the wall that makes a ton of noise? Right now I am in a “nice” hotel and there is no giant HVAC unit crammed into the wall, but the giant noise is still here. I think it’s coming from the ceiling…weird. There is a door that goes from my room to the one next to me…you know, for kids…anyway, I ran into the lady that is in that room…she is fat and middle-aged. I doubt she wants to come over and drink Mickey’s with me.
I did not drive here and I have no car, so I am at the mercy of the man that gave me a ride. I keep thinking that he’s going to call and invite me to dinner…As it gets closer and closer to dinner I am less confident.
I remember a time when I used to get excited about the prospect of staying in a hotel…not so much any more. I do, however, miss my family.
