Day 1

Well, I wake up this morning with no sense of where I am going to go, only that I will be gone for the next three weeks.I've already delayed my leaving a day, since I vowed to be out by April 1st. From somewhere it comes into my head that I am not ready to make any decision and decide to get an room by the airport for tonight. Realizing I would not be able to make a decision of which hotel, since it took all my energy just to come to this, I just go on hotwire and pick a 2 1/2 star hotel for $55, although with tax it ends up being close to $70. I decided I need to go on a hike first and so I start driving on I-10 and decide I am going to go to Picahcio Peak, which I've never climbed (and in fact am not even sure you can climb), but after driving for a while I realize it' s a lot farther than I thought, and when I see a sign for Saguaro National Park, I decide to go there instead, although I am not sure where exactly it will take me but hope it leads to a part of the park I know. In fact, I find a visitor center and a hike I did not know about, and so although it is hot, over ninety degrees, I have a nice hike. At the airport hotel, I am still considering the possibility for flights leaving the country. Indeed, that was one of the reason I got a hotel near the airport. I can't get out to Thailand until Tuesday but I could stay there until then. I could, however, leave for Cancun tomorrow for around five hundred dollars. Instead, I come up with the idea that I am going to do a purge or cleanse up in Santa fe, and start doing a google search and find a place that actually sells a ten day cleanse and I persuade myself that I will do this and now I only need to find a place to stay. At night, I go to the casino with the idea that I will see if I can play some Texas hold em. While waiting to get in a game I throw twenty bucks in a slot, and just as I am about to lose it all, I wint $200. Most I've ever won on a slot. I get in the poker game and winf fifty bucks in that, although I was up probably about $150 at one point. All in all, not a bad day. But what's next?
