I feel accomplished

[cornerofmadness]

I finished my undead Appalachia story (probably not enough ghosts) by writing 3300 words today and that's with me doing 30 minutes writing mixed with 30 minutes of cleaning. It's a story I've wanted to write for a long time. My characters are named for my Uncle Joe and Uncle Libertino (on both sides of the family) who died in the mines. The spooky thing is I called it Number Nine mine and checked with Mom only to learn Number Nine IS the mine Libertino died in. (It must have been in my subconscious). I need to get this quickly betaed because it's due next week.

But can we say enough is enough? I went with the casino as my alternative hotel to the con hotel (I'll be staying there for the con but I plan to stay in Kansas City for a few days as a tourist after the con and the con hotel's price goes to 280 a night). And it's 110 a night. I book it for 4 more days. Afterwards I get a bill break down and it's 110 on thursday. 120 on Friday and Sunday but Saturday balloons to 230 a night. WTF.

Look I can see the price going up some on a weekend but to DOUBLE your damn fee for a hotel room that doesn't change? It's insulting. I wouldn't have complained if it was you know 10 or 20$ but 120$ price hike?!? I looked for cheaper hotels. Found them but they are SO sketchy looking. I'll probably suck it up at the casino because a) it's safer with all the security b) has cameras everywhere so again safer c) has five restaurants right there so if I don't want to go out I don't have to suck up all the door dash fees and just eat at the casino. d) it'll give me something to do after five. I'm not ready for bed at 8 and literally everything I want to do closes at 5.
