Didn't sleep much but my ride came through. The border crossing was painful. They are so snoppy and nasty looking. I almost lost it with his endless stupid nosey questions. Made me so mad. Way over the top. I felt so invaded. I knew it would be that way so I managed to bit my lips together while my driver answered the guys questions.
Lila... its not the US people that I am afraid of.... I have many wonderful American friends giving me many good reasons to love my neighbours.... but the lack of gun control laws makes me nervous of everyone down here that I don't know. I get really paranoid and I imagine everyone has a gun in their pocket or purse or some one is going to charge in start a shooting spree. I know. Irrational but I am constantly having to calm my fears about it. I try to remind myself that probably every second person is a Canadian but it is little comfort.
I am mostly just staying in my room. Fortunately I have internet hookup.... though it is a really really slow 'high speed' unsecured connection so will have to limit my time on line. Its a nice room so when I am not in meetings I will be comfortable enough. Food is really expensive though and not many health choices either. Haven't seen a salad anywhere yet. I did treat myself to a Mother's Day cheesecake though. Yummy. I may need to venture out tomorrow to try to find a grocery store so I can stock up on some fruit at least.
Sorry... I know I shouldn't grumble. I will try to make the most of it. Its hard though cuz I have to walk through the casino to get anywhere and all the noises drive me batty. I look like I have a constant nervous twitch because so many of the sounds just make me cringe. They just stab me in the head and I nearly faint from the effects. Maybe I need to buy some ear plugs. Way too hypersensitive to all the noises everywhere. There is even a roller coaster right outside my window for heaven sake. Geesh!!
Okay... I will stop complaining... I am safe. I am comfortable, I had a yummy peice of cheesecake and I am looking forward to facilitating the meeting tomorrow. All is good. Friday will be here eventually. lol.
