Our Last Day Of Vacation, Pt. 1

As I drove back from the airport, it hit me that the cabin was costing me $160/night and I really should get as much of my money out of it as I can. Plus, I didn'twant to go home and fake a happy face. With that, I headed up the 62 and arrived at the cabin 40 minutes later. I had a terrible headache and didn't feel like doing anything except laying down, but I was determined to push through it and make it a productive day, 'cuz that's what I do.

The first thing I did when I arrived at the cabin was rifle through the outside trashcan to retrieve all the food that I'd tossed a couple hours earlier. That was a success. I then unloaded most of the contents of my car and sat down to think about what to do next. I decided to walk around and get a few pictures with my camera, since it would be the last time I was at this cabin and I might want to remember it later.

After taking pictures, I laid down on the couch and spent three hours trying to go to sleep and relieve myself of my nagging headache. It didn't work, so I made myself breakfast with the garbage can ingredients. It was good, but i didn't enjoy it.

After lunch, I turned on the TV and watched several episodes from the 2024 SNL season.

It was funny and while it didn't let me forget my headache, it was nice to find something to laugh at. I watched about three hours of SNL before heading out to get a few more pictures and then making dinner. I pulled out all the garbage can chicken and veggies that I'd salvaged and cooked up another delicious meal that I did not enjoy.

After dinner, I eventually found The Carol Burnett Show. I've always loved her show and I almost laughed out loud (I would've, but it would've hurt my head too much to do so) when I saw who the guest was; it was Gloria Swanson, who I'd just learned about just two days earlier. It was nice to see her talent and I was surprised that she had such a good sense of humor. The original show aired on September 29, 1973.

After a few hours of watching TV, I laid down hoping to fall asleep, but the noises outside (the wind was quite heavy) kept me awake. My head still hurt like hell, but around 2:30 AM, I finally went out and slept until 8:00 AM, still with the same headache that I had just hours earlier. I was hoping to be rid of my headache by the time I woke up.
