Real shit that happened during my Christmas vacation to Chicago:

Had to leave a day early cause there was a projected blizzard so we planned to drive halfway there, stay a night at a cheap hotel, then take a train the rest of the way

Since we left a day early I forgot to pack extra bras and a toothbrush and my vitamins

Tried to buy bread at Panera but they were out of big loaves

When we got to the hotel, it was announced that grandma was put in hospis and would most likely die before we got back

The first memory brought up about grandma was when she left a sausage in the back of her car and there were maggots in it when she took me to dance lessons

Caught a cold somewhere during the drive to the hotel

Had to share a bed with my little brother and I couldn't sleep because of my cold and the loud heater and the baby crying in a nearby room and my older brother who was playing DND in the bathroom, and my younger couldn't sleep because of my loud sniffling so we probably got a max of 3 hours sleep that night

Got up early to catch the train except the train didn't come so we waited outside in -40° weather for about thirty minutes for absolutely nothing

Also my younger brother was wearing sweats with holes and no socks so when we got back into the car he started crying because his legs felt like they were burning

My legs also felt like they were burning despite wearing long underwear under my pants so I also started crying

Ended up driving the rest of the way to Chicago but the van wouldn't ever completely warm up since it was so cold outside so everyone had numb feet

Got to Chicago and parked in a lot a few blocks away from our hotel because it was cheaper, but found out the stairs to the bridge to cross the river were closed so we had to walk all the way back to the lot and drive to the more expensive lot right next to the hotel.

Ended up getting access to only one of the rooms at first since it would be cheaper to wait to check in until 1 pm.

I demolished all of my brothers at new super Mario bros for the DS

Finally got our other room except I couldn't stop shivering for about three hours straight and we also ran out of tissues

Also the room number was 911

Found out the the tap water was so opaque that it looked like milk

Played cards (against humanity)

Finally warmed up with some hot chocolate and pizza roles except now I felt hellishly hot

Had carrots and celery for dinner and went to bed at around 7:30

Anyways the rest of it was pretty alright and we saw Puss in Boots 2 but damn that was a rough start.
