Heaven or Motel 6?

After sleeping for 8 hours, I awoke at 01:00hrs. [I was awake for 21 hours yesterday.] I went out and bought Murtabak with whatever I had in my wallet. By the time me, myself and I walked back home, it was almost 02:00hrs. Just a few minutes later, it started to rain heavily with thunder and lightning, too. I was fortunate enough not to get caught in the storm, this time.

LESSON LEARNED
A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address!
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter.
They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

The husband checked into the hotel.
There was a computer in his room,
so he decided to send an email to his wife.
However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral.
He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends.
After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.
The widow's son rushed into the room,
found his mother on the floor,
and saw the computer screen which read:

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S. Sure is freaking hot down here!
