ANA Y1 D240

About 125 days and we have made it through another year together my friends. A full year since this whole crazy adventure began. Amazing.

Okay, so. I forgot to tell you all about something that happened Friday night. We were watching the movie and I got an email from Hilton. It said in the subject "Please call us about..." and that's all I could read on my phone. What the hell could Hilton want?? I don't owe them any money, I don't have any issues with them, what the heck! I went in the other room and read the whole email. Turns out the hotel we're staying at in July for my birthday (which we already booked) was sold and is no longer a Hilton property. Oh. Okay. I called this new hotel and it is now a Comfort Inn. I asked them to please cancel any reservation I had and they were gracious and understood. The problem is this left me without a place to stay. Well. We're going to Traverse City for my birthday for the annual Cherry Festival. The hotel we picked was in the next city over as they wanted a ridiculous amount to stay right in town. We were going to have to drive 45 minutes each day, but it was a HUGE cost difference. I looked up my options and found one 3.2 miles from all the action. But what changed since I last looked? Well, since I booked the original, I had accumulated many points!! Aha!! Now since I had points, I was able to cover 2 of the 3 nights for free!! YAY ME! I booked the room and it actually is costing me LESS than the other reservation and we will be 3 miles from everything. Sometimes things do work out. 

Yesterday was a good day. We Went to the store for basic stuff, did not a whole lot in the morning, then went to the park for community day. We got some good Pokemon. We walked, we laughed, we had a good time. We spent the day outside and it was good. We got back home, our friend came over to celebrate his birthday with us, and we had a good night with him. I made steaks and for dessert we got an ice cream cake. Then the three of us watched John Wick 2. We had a nice night. He went home around 10 and we went to bed shortly thereafter.

Today is housecleaning day. That's all that is planned. Happy Lunar New Year to all of you and may the year of the bunny be good to you.
