cornerofmadnessSo I managed to call the credit cards to tell them I'm traveling, I got a tiny umbrella, a wee little deep woods off (Black fly grade), but I could NOT get the damn scopolamine patches anywhere. They're backordered for weeks at every place I tried so I ended up getting dramamine and ginger chunks. That should hopefully help me.
Luckily when I checked out the airport for where to exchange my money, I learned the road we usually travel is closed.
I forgot to do something for work so I had to spend the day doing that and getting short tempered.
Tonight we went to Olive Garden to cash in my birthday free dessert (I got zeppoli as they were shareable) My shrimp scampi was a bit underwhelming, needed more sauce but otherwise good.
It looks like I'll be able to keep my hotel room (I wasn't sure as I'm getting there a day early and wasn't sure if the tour group had a block of rooms). THat'll be good. It's really too far to go anywhere unless I want to catch a cab. I think instead I'll just use the day to swim and write and read.
