Who's Bright Idea Was This ?





Yesterday I was suffering the effects of one of my vagary moments. I have just finished my overnight rotation at work. So, someone had a bright idea to finish work then drive without sleep to Moose Jaw to spend a day there with my daughter and then return home the next day . Yes, you guessed it my idiotic idea.

 It's a monotonous boring drive at the best of times , just add in the problem of trying to stay awake. I stopped off half way to stock up on coffee and glosette chocolate raisins. By the time I arrived I was exhausted and starving. I met my daughter in the hotel room and we decided to go eat and get tickets for the tunnels. We went to the casino across the road and I looked at the menu. I was prepared to eat there but my daughter didn't like the choices. So, we left and went to the tunnels. Only to be told they were sold out for the day. WTF could nobody not of informed me you needed to buy tickets in advance. By this time I'm in a snarly, bitchy mood and about to bite off and spit out the head of the next person that dares to utter a word to me. My daughter suggests returning to the hotel so I can sleep and she'll go swimming. I settled down with my latest book Digital Fortress- Dan Brown. I didn't even manage a page before falling into a deep, deep sleep for 3 hours.

When I woke up I felt I'd slept for days. I goggled places to eat and found there was a shopping mall I'd driven past on my way in. I couldn't recall seeing it but if it's on the internet it's true right. On star was obviously confused as well since it kept taking us to the wrong place. Eventually we found it and finally a bit of better luck. They have a Canadian Brewhouse which does an awesome selection of gluten free food.  Since By this time I hadn't eaten in 21 hours I just loaded up on carbs. Eggs benny and hash browns. I was a little pissed I could only finish half the plate though. I even splashed out on the walk back to the car on a fridge magnet.

I thought I'd do my bit to keep the local economy in business.

  2. Obviously lack of sleep and food contributed to my not so happy mood
