November 23, 2007 Day 218
We are in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, the day after Thanksgiving. I hope this is the last time I ever stay in a low-budget motel. It was freezing last night, but I didn't want to wake Adrian by turning on the heater. It was right next to his head, and made a lot of noise. Instead, I got up and put more clothes on, then huddled under the thin blanket.
Adrian got up first this morning but he went back to sleep. I got dressed, opened the curtain for a sliver of light, and did my drawing. It was a struggle, becoming more and more of a chaotic scribble. I did what I could to bring it into shape and focus, but probably should have scrapped it and started over.

Last night we ate a late buffet and of course we all overate since there was food in abundance. Another promise to myself: NO MORE BUFFETS! First, I hate standing in line for my food when I'm in a restaurant, and I'd rather have a small plate of something special than unlimited amounts and choices of food that is simply adequate. There was so much waste as people filled their plates and then ate half in order to go try something else. How many hungry people could we have fed with what we threw out?
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
