My Day Before Now and An Icky Day

My day began at 6 a.m., an hour before my alarm would have sounded. For the past three nigbts I have been falling asleep on the futon with the telveision running all night long. I was planning on getting up at 7 a.m. and getting ready to go with my friend Mark to Wisconsin Dells to look at an apartment there. He picked me up at 8 a.m. where I waited for him downstairs in the lobby of the building. We left a little before 8 a.m. I think…but I am not totally sure. I had taken a book to read as we drove up to Wisconsin Dells when the scenery got a little boring and the same. I read three chapters! Mark and I did talk off and on, though, so it was not totally quiet in the truck by far. I really wanted to get away from the apartment for a while and Mark had offered a ride to Wisconsin Dells the other night so I could escape from such a place as this – a place where gossip and rumors fly like wild fire some days. People around here just do not have livesso they have to get other lives outside their own boring life. I am so glad I am a studet and away from here M – F going to school. I have been a so-called victim of such gossip and rumors here when I first moved here and again some of the tenants who are elderly do not want younger people here because all we want to do is party, listen to loud music, and stay up late. That is not me. There are nights I am up late, but I do not make excessive noise and I follow the rules of noise after 10 p.m.. Anyway, Mark got me away from my place and I was allowed to be free of such walls that are always the same. I needed and wanted a channge for a few hours. so I went with Mark to Wisconsin Dells for the morning and got home shortly before 1 p.m. so Mark could work at 2 p.m. in Edgerton.

We went to see the apartment, which was a hotel room really. It did not look that bad but it did need some work,. It was an older place but liveable and comfortable, A TV, bed, refridgerator (small) and bathroom is all in the rent. I, being a girl, would not live in such a place, but it would be fine for Mark, but truly a better place would be nice. I did the bathroom sink and it was brown with hard water stains! YUCK! Oh well. It is Mark’s decision, but I hope he does not go that route!

When I said “icky Day” I meant icky as in wet and rainy all day long. It is almost 6 o’clock here now and the weather has been rainy since I woke up. That is the only icky part of my day. YUCK!
