To much 'hot' stuff!

Speaking of short of sleep, that's me.  John was driving our friends to the golf course this morning for 7 am and he was awake early - as if he would ever be late. About 3:30 a.m. he wondered if it was ok if he turned the light on to read - hopefully to fall back to sleep. I said 'wait a bit'. About 4:30 he was up to the washroom and asked again. I finally said ok as I was almost awake (I had to go there myself)! At 6 am, I heard the coffee drippping (slow torture if you are trying to sleep). He was out the front door to pick up the paper (click, clank of the door lock, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle with the paper and then quiet as he sits down to read). Oops, there goes the light - it is amazing the amount of light that is shed when you are trying to sleep. Last night I remember sitting there beside the lamp and wondering what the wattage was as it seemed dim! It wasn't too much longer before the computer was on and the blue light from it covered the whole room. Oh what the heck, maybe it's time to get up!

After deciding I couldn't stand it (or lie there) any longer (the smell of coffee was arousing my taste buds) I finally got up. I decided to have a shower after my coffee and I was all set to 'make my day' by 8:15 a.m. Just needed to have my breakfast and then John & I were off to visit his brother-in-law, Wayne, at their new place in Fountain Hills.

A half hour trip and we were there. Beautiful community as well. Of course, wherever you go in the Phoenix area it seems pristine and picturesque. A beautiful place to visit. I still like Hawaii though. I prefer the moisture in the air to the dryness. Don't get me wrong...dry and hot is good too especially when I think of the -30 C weather ahead for us at home. But we all have our 'druthers' and I would 'druther' be in Hawaii.

Too much spicy food the past three days and my stomach is finally acting up. I like mildly spicy if there is such a thing. I don't think that is what I have been having though. Today, my stomach shut down and said 'not another thing'! So, I am drinking more water which is a good thing.

We are going to 'take it easy' tonite. I guess if you are on holidays you can do that too.
