Hello everyone. I am back home from the novel retreat and thankful to be safe and I had a good trip. It was really fun and I was a legitimate participant who attended the meals and meetings. My readings went well and people liked me and were nice to me. My pal Rosemary was a steak coach and bought me a filet mignon as a surprise.  I couldn't believe it. I also felt God's blessing, like he ordained for me to be blessed in my writing life and on that trip.

My train ticket was upgraded to business class after I bid for it but they switched my seat in the middle of the trip to make another passenger feel important so I reported them to better business bureau.  I think their whole bidding program might be dirty and they will have to change it eventually.

I was happy to do my part to report them but I am sad that possibly they have bad leadership and are no longer an honest company.  It is not good for a train service to be dishonest. I mean that is the same thing with planes, how dangerous.

Kind of sad for the young worker who made me think my seat was okay, because he was a nice worker and had to lie and act.  So that is part of his life now and too bad. But honestly I could see the conductor who actually made everyone think I took someone else's seat, I could see him going to hell eventually.

So anyway thanks everyone for being my friend and praying for me. I am thankful and I still have about 400 dollars left to make it until I get my SSDI payment in two weeks.
