I don't think I'll go back to Vegas for a long time. I was so sensitive to the atmosphere -- it really depressed me to be constantly surrounded by people who were far from sober. It felt like a film was taken off my eyes and I could see Vegas for what it truly is, not a glittering city filled with excitement and energy, but instead a dirty city filled with lost and broken people. It made me incredibly sad.
Yesterday, I climbed up on my roof with a box of Christmas lights. I don't have a ladder so I pulled myself up from a barstool to the playhouse roof then to the house roof. When I got up, dragging the box behind me, I realized how steep the roof actually was. I could get to the end of it but bending down to the staple lights onto the wooden eave would have been suicidal. So, I figured it would be smarter to put the lights up while on a ladder and decided to climb back down. That's when I realized coming down from the roof without a ladder was a lot harder than climbing up! I ended up jumping to the playhouse roof (after a silent prayer that the roof wouldn't cave in under my weight) and then shimmied down the house window frame. It was quite an adventure. I'm thinking tonight I might borrow my grandparents ladder and try putting up lights the right way.
