Chicago Roadtrip

So finally I’m in bed all comfy eyes closed and ready to fall asleep. Then I think what’s going on? I feel like I’m in the middle of an airport runway. It’s so bright in the room. I can’t sleep with that. I actually had to fear some plane might mistake those lights as a runway and land right in the room. Ok time to investigate. I didn’t need to turn the regular lamps back on, there was plenty of light. Find out it’s the hairdryer on the wall with a nightlight attached on the bottom in the vanity area. The sink was kinda setback in the room, but no door to close as the shower/toilet was separate. But that was no nightlight. It was a searchlight. As smart as I’m I figured the hairdryer must be plugged in behind the mounting plate. Probably some stupid safety issue. They don’t want you to unplug it. So I ripped it off the wall (ok I didn’t :-) I only pushed it upwards and off it was). To my surprise there was nothing behind it. I said to myself: Michael, you dummy it’s plugged in to the outlet on the wall right next to the dryer. Ok so I tried to fumble it back into the mounting plate (can’t leave the room trashed like in the movie Hangover :-) I tried for a minute and gave up. I was too tired and figured I’m going to do it in the morning. At least I managed to close down the airport for one night. Don’t ask me why I didn’t turn the lights back on. Now it was dark like in a cave and I had to find my way back to the bed. Luckily I didn’t bump into any walls or pieces of furniture. You think I could sleep then? No way I was too excited about something I found in the hotel where I’ll be staying tonight. I saw that on the website and I knew this is the place to get a room. Guess what: They have an indoor pool and there is a nice big long slide. How often do you get that? I love slides. Ha Ha Ha. Sometimes I’m like a little kid. Yes I did manage to get the dryer attached to the wall in the morning. The things you do when you are tired. I’m actually laughing about this whole event myself now. It’s funny.
