| Dear Steph, Hey, What�s up!!! I miss you so much. I think about you and John all the time. Life has been busy for me since ya�ll left. On the way back from the airport I cried like 4 times. And ever since then most of the time I just feel lonely. I don�t mean to be a drag at all, I�m just saying that cause, well, that�s how I feel ? I�ve read most of your blogger and I think that it�s awesome that ya�ll have gone to Thailand. Your doing now what we�ve all been dreaming about for almost a decade. The world needs more John and Stephs. And I still say that when ya�ll came back next year I�m going with you next time, where ever you go. Unless God has other plans that I don�t know about yet. I stayed at the Crossroad Inn for two weeks. They were really ghetto! But they served their purpose, I had a bed, a t.v., a toilet, a shower, ya�lls little burner, and a lot of borning television. After a week and a half I decided this was a waste of money and I made arrangements to stay with cindy in Madill and drive back and forth from Madill to work at Car-Mart. My last night at Crossroads I�m laying there on the bed watching T.V. and I smell a very familiar gas smell, kinda like gas and exhaust put together, some like to call it Carbon monoxide!!!! Anyway, It was filling up my room!!! I checked the theormostat and it was off. So there was no way to stop the leak since I didn�t know how it started. I opened the door and turned on the fan to air out the room, after 30 minutes airing out and 30 minutes with the door shut again it seemed that the leak wasn�t there, but I was still very nervous about it, it was now 11:30 at night and I didn�t think that they would be doing anything with it that night. So I covered up the heater with 2 towels(courtesy of the Motel) and 2 folded blankets that overlapped the size of the heater but made a few layers out of itself as well. So I left it at that and went to sleep. The next morning I took the towels and the blankets off and the smell was fairly strong. I don�t mean to be dramatic, but I have a good idea that if I hadn�t have caught that and it leaked over night I�d have been extremely sick or worse� I wouldn�t have woke up. So the next morning I gladly checked out, got my remote deposit back and headed for Madill. Last week I went and saw your mom and it took two days but I set up an e-mail account for her. I couldn�t do it at her house because the computer was too slow. So the next day I went to the library and set it up real quick, it was good to see your mom and I�m going to try to see her and Terry every week. I saw Misty and Guy yesterday. They drove by my work and then came back and hung out for at least an hour. But they said the same thing, that they purposed to go see your mom at least once a week. January 16th, 2005 Well, I�ve been at Cindy�s for a few days now and it�s really hard staying here. I get up at 5:30am to 6:30am, I leave the house around 7 to 7:30, I go to work I get home about 8pm and I usually try to lay down for bed at 9pm. See Cindy get up at 5:30 with 2 kids and I�m on the couch!!! You know how I am about my sleep, but I have to say you�d be proud, I go to sleep at night all by myself with the lights and the T.v. still on and Cindy blowing cigarette smoke over my head and still manage to go to sleep�wahoo� (thumbs down). It�s not too rough, I just don�t have any spare time at all. |
