			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I would be more drained once I arrived in Minot, but strangely, I&#8217;m unable to really fathom that I&#8217;ve spent the last fourteen hours in a car.  I say that, though, while passing on taking a dip in the wonderful water slides and pool this hotel has to offer because I just couldn&#8217;t be bothered to leave the hotel room.  I even got a pizza delivered instead of going to the restaurant in the Sleep Inn, which was delicious.  </p>
<p>I always seem to want to stay another day when I&#8217;m in a hotel room, especially one with a King Size bed.  The rooms just seem so beautiful and like such a waste for only one night.  But I guess that&#8217;s why people actually <em>visit</em> the places they go to, instead of merely driving through.  I seem to be one that does that often &#8211; just drives through.  Leaves before things become complacent.</p>
<p>At one point of my drive, I thought I&#8217;d be staying in Canada for a little while longer, after I couldn&#8217;t believe how scary it was at the border even though I had absolutely nothing to hide.  They train those border guys well.  Personally, I think he would have loved to go through all my belongings but there was a line forming behind me and my sweet angelic eyes proved my innocence.  Alas, I made it through, ahead of schedule, even (I sped, a little &#8211; but speed limits are like 120KM here!)</p>
<p>Anyway, I made it.  One third of the way to my new home, my old home, my old life turned into my new life.  One third to the biggest change I&#8217;ve ever made.  Way bigger than the one I made when I moved to Calgary two years ago.</p>
<p>Way bigger.</p>
