Ben Johnson Day

It's been rainy here. Last night, we got the heaviest downpour (not associated with a hurricane) that I have experienced in my 10 months here.

I was happy for it. It rained so heavily that I could actually hear the raindrops on the roof. I missed that sound. Rain makes me sleep better too. Didnt think anyone would be up to mischief in such weather.

I need to figure out what I will do with the car while I am away. I wonder if I could get permission to park it at the police station.

If not, I am just going to have to ask someone. I am not certain that it is best left at my place while I am gone. My neighbour will be here but it's dark and guess where they would be looking to find it anyway?

I so wished I could have gone earlier. It seems the next few days are wasted here anyway. But the ticket prices were much more expensive if booked less than a week and as much as I wasn't paying for the ticket, Easy Skanking Chef's money is my money. Furthermore, I wanted to try and tie up some loose ends before I left. My backdoor NEEDS to be fixed. I should take a pic and post what the door jam currently looks like. Safety hazard really.

I will be taking my laptop with me so I have nothing else that I rather not lose apart from my DVD player and my collection of every single episode of Sex and the City. And maybe my DVDs.

I have contacted a few NYC based friends to let them know that I will be heading their way. I want to see them anyway.

This promises to be a nice vacation, even though I will be broke.
