The sun is out and it's a beautiful day here in Nelson. It has been an interesting past few days, but I have definately been working with the positive thinking theory. :)
I worked Sunday and it was raining here, so we were SLAMMED! I mean slammed. We had no cutlery or water glasses at one point. People were all stressed, but I did my best to stay as calm as possible:)
It was a good lesson, and at a few points I wanted to throw a few plates around, but once the storm calmed it was cool that we all got through it. :)
That night Jo left with the French guy she is dating to head for a 2 day hike. I thought about her walking 15k in the pouring rain all day. Good thing I gave her my rain coat..haha. Poor girl.
So I stayed at the hostel and had thoughts of murder that night, as one of the guys in the 8 person dorm was snoring sooooooooo loud. SO loud! You could tell that everyone in the room was awake from it. At one point I got up and went to the computer room for a few hours...I couldn't take the insanity. The next morning everyone shared their stories of the horrible things they had thought about doing to this guy last night to make him stop snoring..haha.
Yesterday I moved to our new place. As of 9am yesterday I had NO idea where Joanna and I would be staying that night. Because it's Christmas time, all of the hostels in town are booked. We don't have a tent, so that wasn't an option, and it was pissing rain, so sleeping in a park or something was not an option (dint worry Mom....I wouldn't actually sleep in a park...:s) to be honest...I wasn't really worried. I kept telling myself that it will all work out....and of course it did;)
The owner of the hostel told me that there is a really nice older man who is a regular at the bar that lives a few doors up from the hostel. When Mikes hostel is full, he will help out and rent a few of his extra rooms. (He has 4 rooms in his house). Mike vouched that he is a good guy and many people have stayed there from time to time. Jo was still in the bush so my friend Christine helped me move all of our stuff up this house.
OMG! We have a bed..a real bed. Our own bathroom! It's luxury! Kris is a really nice man and I think he enjoys having the company. There is another girl here from Finland..she is quite nice too.
My favorite part of staying here is the view!!! It has the perfect view of the mountains, and I can litterally watch the sunset from bed! Unreal,
Anyways, I work today 5-close. My boss is letting us get all dressed up which is nice. I'm going to head over to my friend Christine's later on and we will get ready together. We are having a black and white party for New Years. Should be a long, but fun shift:)
Anyways, all my positive thinking has done good:) happy with all my decisions and get to stay here until we head North, which is awesome!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Love you and miss you all. I'll let you know how 2014 is tomorrow :)
