Oldschool Nerd Ramblings

Tuesday we did a surprise trip to Great Wolf Lodge for an overnight stay. Being stuck inside since fall break has been abysmal, so taking the family there for the night was great. I hate that this is the 3rd time I've been here without having braids in which makes me resort to wearing a swim cap that causes headaches if left on too long. It works though and minimizes water but not as well as if I just had my hair in braids. I've lost some weight since the last time we went so getting in the water and walking around didn't feel so....hard? Hard on my body. I want to go back to get on the water slides next time. What worked out well was that going on a week day meant a much cheaper price for a room and a much bigger room than before. Less people too since other school districts don't get a fall break. I'm only annoyed that since the shutdown is affecting my pay, I couldn't spend more to play the arcade or eat at one of the other restaurants. I got a specialty drink this time but it wasn't very good and the cup is a shaker which is meh. I brought my own pillow only to have accidentally left it behind because the GWL has horrendous pillows and then they tell me nothing was turned in. We weren't even out of the hotel room that long.

We came back last night after spending the full day swimming. And now today did absolutely nothing because I'm still exhausted. Tomorrow we are going to play at some mini golf park and Saturday we go to the museum. So...today completely reminded me of how I used to feel when I was unemployed. Not when I got out of the AF but back when I was a teen with no money. Incredible. I legit would spend the entire day on websites or playing games and eat random snacks throughout the day. Couldn't go anywhere because where do you go with no money? Everyone else is working and busy. I'm searching up different Neocities to see if I can find other collectors or something interesting. I wish Livejournal was still a thing. Some woman trying to sell windows came to the door. Listened to her spiel uninterested as it sounded exactly like someone else who tried doing this months ago. I hate these people, leave me alone. Soliciting windows under the guise to advertise only in our front yard then take a survey in exchange for replacing our windows, gtfoh. Even when I was like "umm right now we're unemployed.(we aren't)" She kept insisting they have financial plans. Fuck right off.
