My day, yesterday, began at Denny's restaurant at 5 am. I had arrived early figuring I should be able to get a quick breakfast before I catch my 5:55 bus. Yea, sure, it's Denny's, but you would think you could at least get a reasonably sized breakfast. By reasonable I mean not large enough to feed an army. They don't even offer any non-meat breakfasts. Just coffee will be fine.
Amtrak arrives early and leaves exactly on time. Their buses are also much cleaner and more comfortable than Greyhound. Definitely worth the few dollars extra. First stop was Union Station LA, where this sweet little lesbian Rasta chick sits next to me. We decided to be travel buddies within minutes and she ended up smoking me out at every stop for the whole trip. Awesome. The only downside was that I didn't manage to get any sleep on the trip.
I have been in Colfax at the Mom's house for about 24 hours now. It was snowing for 20 of those hours, and the power has been off for 18 hours. It's not too bad, we have a generator so we are not in the dark and I was able to charge my laptop. It's actually working out to my advantage as there really isn't anything to do but get well. 12 hours of travel on 3.5 hours of sleep definitely wasn't friendly to my immune system, but I got a good night of sleep last night and slept most of the day away. Between actually being able to relax and the chicken soup my sister made, I should be well in no time.
