On my own

I'm in a mid-sized college town for a nursing conference! I'm staying at a huge, slightly creepy B&B just on the edge of the main part of town, about a mile down the road from the Hilton where the conference is. The B&B is cheaper and more interesting than the Hilton. The proprietress told me I'd be all alone there since there were no other guests and she and her husband sleep next door. Creeeepy.

So last night I had a couple of good and cheap beers at a little divey place (yay college towns--cheap beers!), got some awful takeout food (boo college towns--bad food for stoned college kids) and watched tv in my creepy room that had a seaside motif even though we are nowhere near any body of water.

Then I got up at the absolute ass-crack of dawn (6 am--remember, I work the midshift so I NEVER have to get up that early) and went to the conference presession, which was a CEN review.

Now I'm on my own again til the afternoon sessions, sitting in a luncheonette eating eggs and listening to some teenager chomp on her fries at the next table. It's all I can do to not plunge my fork into her neck. I HATE noisy eaters. I'd better go so I don't get arrested.
