Preparing to think about leaving...

We are starting our trek home on Wednesday, but we are going the scenic route for the first half of the trip which will take us through some mountains..... the weather forecast shows it to be COLD in the mountains.... We will be dragging the 5th wheel and camping on the route home so it will take us a day longer. We expect to be home on Sunday morning.

Today it was very windy and so it was much cooler than it has been. Still beautiful sunshine, but seriously windy. Sandie and I did some 'retail therapy' but we didn't hit any jackpots for shopping. We actually entered and exited Costco with 'plus $$' since I returned and item for a refund and we didn't buy anything else. It was an occasion worth noting.... a zero dollar Costco trip!

On Thursday night, we had gone to the street market in Palm Springs and I bought a t-shirt for Sandie there. It has three progressively empty wine glasses on it with the caption '3 step program'.... ha ha

I am quite tan despite my best efforts and 50 block sunscreen. That's what spending so much time in the pool will do for you. My eyebrows are finally making an appearance!! My hair is growing like wildfire and does seem to be a little curly although it's a bit too soon to tell. The gray hairs either grow faster, or else just don't curl as much because they stand out like beacons.

I went to karaoke on Friday night, and one of the ladies I went with begged me to sing 'White Rabbit' with her. It was not pretty... but we had a good time anyway. I sang other songs by myself where I didn't embarrass myself so at least the people in the bar didn't have to listen to me brutalize ALL the songs....

I think today is the first time I haven't gone in the pool. Although there's still time.... I went to bed early last night, woke up at 7 this morning, got up at 8, then went back to bed at around 9 to sleep another few hours. Just feeling really tired today. I was also tired and sluggish yesterday. I think it's just sun and pool and waterball making that way, but I hope I'm not coming down with anything.

I see the weather forecast is for rain at home on the weekend. Great. I hope the sun comes out at home soon. The transition will be a tough one!
