What a wonderful way to start the day. Got up before sunrise with the coffee pot just waiting for me to push the button to make coffee! 10 minutes and coffee! Then a quick jump into the shower! I was looking forward to that unlimited hot water shower! I noticed that there was shampoo and conditioner in the tub, so left mine in my backpack and jumped into the tub. The water was lukewarm so I figured it was coming up to steam and started washing my hair. I must have dirty hair or the water here is really hard. It didn’t suds at all. Okay one more wash of the hair. Hmmm… Still no sudsing and the water was actually getting colder. Oh sh*t! Wash quickly! Grab the conditioner. D#$n! My hair is sudsing finally on the ends where I put the conditioner on. Wreckin, freckin, smecker… Now I know why the shampoo didn’t foam. I’d used the conditioner as shampoo and the shampoo as conditioner. Can you say… duh? Quickly rewash and condition, as the water gets colder. Rinse off. Hey! The water is now getting hot. Can you say… duh! I then realized that I was probably the first person up and in the shower in the whole condo complex. The water had to travel through 8 floors to cycle to the hot water. This was an interesting shower morning.
John made an awesome breakfast – fruit salad with nuts, eggs & TOAST, cinnamon rolls, juice and did I mention – TOAST to dip into my eggs?!?! Then we sat around chatting, and I played on the video machine and answered trivia. We then had a lunch of soup, sandwich, fruit salad and cookies, then Patti & I went price shopping (then buying) for pop, water & beer. I like the idea of using their car to lug the heavy stuff as opposed to multiple trips on the bus doing that. The bus only lets you bring on board what you can carry. So this is going to save multiple trips on the bus, as well as our backs :) Don’t you love sisters and brothers with cars (insert happy dance here)? CVS had the best price on pop, watch your carts though – one couple of guys tried to take my pop and buy it when I went back for nail clippers LOL; Walmart had the best price for bottled water. Wayne discovered Patti’s Sudoku books and did some puzzles (he likes those) while we were gone.
When we got back and walked into the condo, you could smell the pot roast, simmering away in the crock-pot. Mmmm… it smelled wonderful - Pot roast, mashed potatoes, carrots and biscuits for dinner. I’m going to have to go on a diet when I leave here LOL.
It’s supposed to go down into the upper twenties again tonight. It’s nice to have heat all night in a warm bed again. I played on the video machine while we sat around chatting. I then departed for the bedroom and left John watching T.V., and Wayne and Patti to reminisce and solve the woes of the world. I’m an early to bed, early to rise kind of person and I think they’re more late to bed, late to rise people (at least I know Wayne is).
