Thursday from Montreal 

Greetings....I would post this quickly but getting my comp hooked up to the Internet is a challenging task here. Steph....who is good with comps tried last night to no avail....needless to say I don't have a clue!
So after my update in Quebec City yesterday I went and drove for abit and the rain kinda slowed down...so I parked plugged a meter and went for a rambling.
Very cool old city...lots of history as well. Neat old churches...tiny one way streets, lots of tiny bistros, shops, and people that smoke....lots of people smoke out here wow. So   I'm just looking at stuff, taking pics...windy as all hell...then the rain starts again...great. I've got my hoodie on...so now wet and cold. But whatever....so I keep looking at stuff...I'm already cold and wet! More neat stuff, then I go into a coffee house, have an espresso and a croissant. Back to the van...was gonna go up the St. Lawrence abit....but by this time is was getting dark and still pissing rain. So I make the call and head for Montreal.
Got here and met up with Steph...found a place to park the van for the night...then off we...Stephe room mate as well...go to het some quick tai food. More or less just bs'd for the night...had a skype chat with auntie Sue...thats a neat thing skype...I'll have to get that working on my comp. Then we crashed out.
Her rez is in an old hotel so she gave up her bed for me and is sleeping in Olivia's bed....thanks Steph :) before I go I need to fix the drain in the tub.....2 girls with long hair and lots of girl products = clogged drain!
So go to move the van this morning to find a spot for it to sleep for a few days and there is a ticket on it. Fuck. Great....go and look at it and it's a ticket for being stopped in a place that I supposedly am not allowed to. Ok....look around...where are the signs...there is one but the arrow on it is pointing the other direction...ok...any time limits...nope...ok...make a call to the parking people and bitch. I want someone to come out and tell me why I have a ticket. Nope...that's not happening...so I took some pics and will mail them in with my notice of dispute. Fuck them....wow that put me in a foul mood. I almost wish it was a parking ticket or something that I was at fault for...Cus then hey...I fucked up, I pay. Done. But in this case, I'm not at fault...there was no signage. So...this is what will most likely happen....I will dispute this....mail it in with pics and such...and they will come up with some bs and I will still have to pay....85$ anyway... That's a good chunk of the running jacket I want......I feel like im going to push my thumbs thru my iPhone right now. 
Anyway...found a place to park the van till sat am 20$ for 2 days....cheap for parking downtown. 
Fuck me I'm spooled up right now......wooosaaaaa.....wooosaaaaa 
I feel my stress level going up right now....and I shouldn't be. I'm in Montreal, the sun is now shining, Steph and I are going for lunch and then a skate...should be a nice day...but all I feel right now is rage. Rage against the parking guy, my fitness level, stuff....I know it's all aggravated by the ticket and that I haven't worked out in forever...I'll put on some calming music...
Ok....nothing I can do about it. I will fight it. And when I'm back in one place for more than a day or two, I will start to run and work out again.....I actually feel sick thinking about my fitness level right now. I had grand plans to run and workout every day but soon learned that that was not a  practical idea. I have to look at it like....the net gain of the trip for me was worth the loss of the fitness. I can get it back...I will get it back....the trip was worth it...and necessary. 
But anyway.....ok....I'm done venting now. Sorry for that. 
Steph and I are going for that lunch and skate I mentioned before I went off on an angry tangent....should be fun! 
Ok....everyone have a good day, I miss all :)
