The previous night had turned out to be much better in many respects. I went back to the first bar I had done to on day 1. I didn’t get lucky by being taken home by someone, but I had a real good time.
First off, I meet someone. They and their Ex had driven up from San Antonio for the day. The three of us began to chat and for a four hour period we had fun. The Ex got jealous of course, but we still had fun.
At one point I was very concerned about them driving home. We talked about it and about how much we wanted to spend the night together. But that sure in hell wasn’t going to happen in my town. What was I going to do, offer them a double size park bench to share!
I did mention that I could drive them home if they paid for my ticket back. The money came out and between the two of us, we had $30 cash. Not enough to ensure a trip back. But oh so tempting…
Well needless to say, they went home and texted me once they were home that they had arrive safely and that they would be back soon to see me, and without the Ex. I would like that, but I am not counting on it. If it happens, great; if not, all is good.
So with them gone, I ran into someone else who I had gone out with on a date recently. They didn’t know of my situation, though I slightly hinted to it. Instead I asked if I could use their help and their vehicle to move my stuff. They were eager to help out. I promised them I would cook dinner in exchange for their help. We set it up for a Thursday. Hopefully the money sent to me will be in and I will have arranged for the storage unit. If not, I’ll figure something out.
They proceeded to leave a little drunk and not catching on to my situation. When I was ready to leave, I closed out my bar tab and was given a nice gift. The bartender who had opened my tab had only listed one drink on it. The other four had not been posted. A very cheap bill, and yet I didn’t feel comfortable with it. I told the replacement bartender what had happen and what I had drank. He couldn’t for some reason add it on to the bill. So I told him I would write out a large tip so they could adjust the bill. Regardless, my bill was still half of what I should have been charged, so I was thankful.
Off to my cheap room where I got another gift. The person who checked me in gave me a lower rate which saved me an extra five dollars. Plus, I got a coupon for a free room for the following Tuesday night, YEAH! A place to sleep for one night.
I did sleep for six hours that night without getting up once. I was very pleased with that. Plus it shows you how tired I was. Even Mother Nature couldn’t wake me up to go piss in the middle of the night.
Life goes on…I go on.
