Stuff and HERE.
Sep. 27th, 2007 03:45 pmWe got to Bob's place yesterday afternoon. The drive from Squeeji's to here was...stressful, to say the least.
After that we discovered that we were running through ALOT more gas that we should have been. Like, twice as much. We called and talked to Al and Karen about it and they said they'd wire us more money. Awesome, as we were down to our last $50 after we got a room for the night. Turns out the gas issue was from all the hills and, likely, all the wind.
TJ had a bit of a freakout from driving so much. Our luggage carrier tore and we almost lost some things in Montana. Thankfully, as far as I could tell, nothing was missing. Of course, I had to shove everything from the roof into the backseat until we got to Billings where I could hit up a Walmart and get a tarp and some bungees and repack it.
We made it as far as Ellensburg, WA before we decided to get a room for the night. We'd actually napped at a rest stop somewhere between there and Spokane, as well. But we figured we'd get some good sleep before making the last leg of our trip.
We got to Seattle around 9AM. Just in time for rush hour. And we got to Silverdale around 11AM or noon. After driving around a minute, because the road the apartment's on isn't labeled, we finally found Bob's place. I unpacked some of the car, cleaned critter cages (cause I didn't want their stinky asses to stink up the place).
After that, we went to find somewhere to cash the other Western Union money order I had (the place that I picked up the money at could only cash $200). After stopping at three different places, I finally found somewhere to cash it at. Thank god. then, we went over to the mall and picked up a few things and I got some applications. Hurrah.
Bob and TJ got drinky and gropey last night.
I'm PMSing. I'm sure of it because I'm getting stupid and upset over such little tiny things. It kind of came down and hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. But I could feel the mood swings coming along since yesterday. So, I'm trying to wrangle in whatever bitching I have about anything currently, because it's just my hormones being cranky whores and not me.
I have ALOT of pictures to sort through. About 200, I think. That should be fun.
