Hi Sweetie,
Well, it wasn’t a bad night sleep, just a little weird going to bed so early local time, even though my body clock was three hours ahead. Woke up early, which is probably a good thing, since I’ll have to do that for the next three mornings anyway. Went down for the free breakfast, seriously it was the most pitiful free breakfast I’ve almost ever seen. Essentially it was cereal, toast or bagels, with a banana if you wanted. Juice and coffee, of course, but no waffles, not hot food whatsoever. Guess I’m not going to up on any weight on THIS trip! Had a toasted bagel with cream cheese, then came back to the room and called your sister to wish her a happy early birthday, which is tomorrow. She’s been in hospital for over a month with knee surgery and various complications, but finally got home last week, wanted to see how she was doing. Naturally, she’s glad to be home! After that, I headed out to a massage appointment I had made a couple of weeks ago. It was wonderful! The guy, Larry, did a really great job, and had such a life story, it was fascinating! A former NY Wall street banking guy, he eventually quit and became a massage therapist. And he was really good, too! Enjoyed getting to know him, and he did a great job on me. After leaving there I stopped at the store for a few things, and decided I simply HAD to have steak for my big meal of the day. I’ve been feeling meat deprived lately! I went to one place but walked in and walked out again, it was like a little whole in the wall fast food place with the ambiance of a Chinese take out counter. NOT IN THE MOOD! So then I found an Outback, and had a nice filet mignon, potato and salad, just what I needed! Unfortunately, my phone died (I had forgotten to take my phone charger out of the bag and put it into the car here), so I had no GPS to get back to the hotel, and had to wing it. Managed to do it in a pretty straight line, too, much to my surprise! Especially since I’ve never been to this hotel before. Guess I’ve been here enough now to know my way around a little bit. Anyway, got back to the hotel, plugged my phone it, changed into my bathing suit and hit the pool and hot tub. Figured that would be a good way to get the most out of my massage. You’d think that with 100+ degree days and not a cloud in the sky that the pool would be warm, but I guess the cool desert nights help, because the water was actually pretty cool and refreshing, and the hot tub was nice, too. Stayed out there for awhile before coming back up to my room, which the maid had finally finished. I had bought some trail mix because I didn’t want another big meal today, so I settled down with a glass of wine, my snack, and did some studying for tomorrow. A big class tomorrow, should be good! Getting to bed early so I can get up early and shower then. Good night, darlin’! Love you!
