I've realized today that I am insane. As I
sit here with my laptop on my...well lap and my coffee by my side I am
carefully planning what could be me demise. I am getting ready for a 2
and a half hour walk through the city with my wife and two dogs.
12.4km. One of the dogs isn't exactly in the greatest shape and that's
not by any fault of our own. He was fat when we got him and taking him
on short walks is even a struggle so why do I think this trek is a good
idea? I don't but it seems it's something that is being forced on me.
The oldest boy is having a birthday party. He's 16 and he wanted a
party. We don't want to be here when he does have one. Don't get me
wrong though, he has shown a great deal of responsibility in the past
with parties while we have been here and he is ensuring more
responsibility now. There are going to be college aged sober people
keeping an eye on things. An adult is coming around to check on things
every once in a while. The neighbours have been informed. Everything
is set. The only place we can go for the night is my old place. Our
car is broke. We have dogs so we can't take transit. We don't know anyone who can drive us either. It's a long weekend who's even home? Our only option
with twenty dollars in our pocket is to walk.
I've been told this is going to be an adventure. Yes, I'm sure it will
be. It was also supposed to be nice out today but it's cloudy, windy
and cold. It looks like it will also rain at some point today. It's
not in the forecast but they have been wrong before. We'll see. I
know now that I am insane for doing this. I will not like this one bit
but I have to force myself to. It's going to be a long day. Oh and do
you know what the biggest crapper of this day is? My old roomate
(who's house we're staying at) has decided to go drinking with one of
the biggest drunkards I know. So while we're trying to get a restful
sleep after our hike there's going to be two loud drunk goons coming in
at 2am. Great. Won't this be fun.
