Lessons learned on my trip
Jun. 11th, 2003 03:39 pm* If you are ready to pack the car in the rain and you find a flat tire, it IS an omen that your trip is gonna suck.
* "Fix-A-Flat", doesn't.
* If you think that driving through Indiana in the daylight can't be as bad as driving it at night, think again.
* The moment you realize that your car has been towed is one of the most helpless feelings you can have.
* Every tow-truck lot seems to be run by extras from 'Deliverance'.
* Chicago can have non-construction, non-accident related traffic jams at 2AM.
* Too much dry ice in your drink can send you to the hospital.
* Walking Pneumonia will not go away if you ignore it. (Where did I put all my pills?)

Went to doctor today, got lotsa pills and told to take it very easy for 24 hours, and antibiotics for a good while.
But I can still have sex...so I'm happy.
Shopping, anyone?

It was 3am and we were stranded in the middle of fucking creepy cornfields for over an hour till the tow truck came. And we both needed the bathroom. Irritateing, scarey, AND uncomforatable.
