Motel Living 101

LAUNDRY: ok i am excited about washing clothes without having to pay $1.50/wash and who knows how much to dry. it all depends on what drier you choose.
funny story...
casey washed clothes the other day at the laundromat by our motel. it was taking the clothes forever to dry. ($0.25/8 minutes). After about an hour and the clothes still being soaking wet, jill asked, "did you put it in the one that said 'good', 'sux' or 'sux/good'?" it does make a difference. we were very thankful for those that chose vandelism to communicate the drier's efficiency. you can probably only laugh at this if you have lived there.



and in case you were wondering...

yes, this too was drawn on the wall.

A/C units: I am not a psycho blogger nor am I soliciting pity. I just hope to the dear Lord that I never have to stay there again! We have some other options for next year so I want to remember the joys of three summers at the Grove. For the past two summers I got to stay in the same room. This has been the scene outside my room...an ice bucket catching the drippings from the wall unit. I had to dump it throughout the day or there would be a river outside our room. And by the way, I did not come up with this idea. That would be the owners idea.


FACILITIES: Oh, and this is the space under my door due to a missing threshold. Amazingly enough nothing came in except some rain water. I did put a towel under the door the first night. After a few days you adjust.


These are just a few of the stories from my room. There are plenty of others. Next door to me they killed a snake in their baby's room. Next door to them the shower holds water so that you bathe with water up to your calves (this was my room the first year...and it was like that then). Next door to them the girls had to move out because they were being bitten by who knows what in their beds at night. I cannot think about it anymore. I am not even going to mention the other guests that stay here. Enough. I have broken my rule about long posts.
