Sleeping At A Strangers House

September 19 2017

5am

I'm up super early… Again! Today is a long day of driving and I want to make it to Ottawa. It's about nine hours away. I'm going to be sleeping at a strangers house that I met on the Internet! That sentence makes me laugh so hard. She's not really a stranger, but I've also never met her in real life. Her name is Erika and she's in one of the moms groups that I'm in that's very tight knit and close. Her and her husband just moved to Ottawa as he's in the military. So I asked her if she didn't mind if I crash at her place and she said absolutely not! So awesome what a cool group of people we have! I can't wait to meet her! It's so funny to me, because I remember when I was a teenager, and the Internet was not as common to have an chat rooms were just beginning, and the fear of speaking to someone online was real. I remember my parents saying to me you do not talk to strangers on the Internet. You do not ever ever ever meet anyone from the Internet that you don't know! And now, here I am, quite literally meeting a stranger that I met on the internet, and never in real life, and I’ll be sleeping in her home with her family. WILD.

Oh man, what a long ass drive! How do people do this longer or on the regular? I did make good time, but still… Erika is so sweet! And beautiful!! Dana warned me how good looking she was and how good-looking her husband was and hot. Damn she was fucking right! ha! But also so fucking nice! Like truly sincerely, nice. That little boy Liam is 3 1/2 years old and so adorable with the cutest little devilish smile. Erika made delicious pierogies for dinner for us and let me do my laundry. I'm so thankful. I'm so thankful to have such support surrounding me. It makes me wanna cry. Tomorrow, I'm going to explore our nations capital, Ottawa, where I've never been before.
