chi-weekend recap

Took the Amtrak up to Chi on Saturday morning. Slept nearly the whole way. The improvements to the rails have made the ride very smooth and quiet. Its not FAST, yet.

Was met with rainy conditions; glad I left the bike at home and opted instead for the umbrella.

I drove myself to the Amtrak station on Saturday and was going to just leave my car in the lot, but the overnight lot did not have an attendant on duty (and no one to open the gate to allow cars inside). However, cars couldn't even get into the lot even if there was an attendant because the postal trucks from the main post office sorting center were parked in the street and blocking the entrance to the lot!!

So I parked on the Amtrak lot, which overnight parking is not allowed, so I bought six hours of time from the meter and called my dad about coming to pick up my car. So he had to leave work to come get it, then I needed to be picked up late late on Monday night!

Also, this is funny to me:
So Roy's roommate is a flight attendant and said I could sleep in her bedwhile she was out of town. So when we came home from the bar on Saturday, I cleaned up and crawled into bed. I felt something hard against my shin way down at the foot of the bed. I rolled the sheets back to find a huge pink vibrator!!

I immediately thought, "What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"

I could toss it into a dresser drawer, but I don't know which drawer the girl would usually keep it. I could always leave a note, "oh, by the way, I found your vibe and I washed it off and ticked it in the left side of your sock drawer."

I could have tossed it to the dog and let that work its way out.

I ended up shoving it in between the wall and the mattress and covering it with several pillows.

The girl was back home on Monday, and Roy told me she asked if I slept in her bed because she left her vibe out and was super embarrassed. I hadn't told Roy I found it, so he wasn't lying when he told her he didn't know that I had found it. Then I told him I did.

But, we're all adults, here! (Sorta.)
