Day 44: So Hot

I swear I spend most of my days on the verge of sweating.  I'm just hot enough to be uncomfortable, but not sweat... much.

It took me forever to fall asleep last night.  I was in quite a lot of pain while trying to sleep and when getting up to pee, but I woke up at 1000 and then decided I should color those darned posters before I have this baby or I'll never finish.  I colored diligently until I got bored and put everything away.  When I checked to see what time it was, I was shocked to learn it was 1400!  Wow!  It was late and time had flown.

Unfortunately, I hadn't heard from Ty.  I had a feeling that I wouldn't get to, as it was already 2330 his time.  I decided to put on my suit and get in the pool.

After a bit, my dad came home from golfing and got in the pool.  We talked and he said maybe Ty got stuck somewhere due to weather.  I agreed that was probably what happened, as it's happened numerous times before, though he likes hanging out with the Germans.  I told him about Ty's big brief to the BDE Commander and my dad asked why Tyler was briefing him... honestly, I have no idea.  I said, "Apparently Ty's good at what he does..."

We hung out in the pool and chatted until he went to go check out the FIFA women's game for a bit and I swam laps.  Then he came out for another hour and a half and we chatted more.  At 1700 we got out and came inside.  I played on the computer for a little bit, then showered.  It was 1745 and I was bored, but ready for dinner.  I began heating up the tortilla soup mom had prepared for dinner.  She eventually came in and helped me get everything ready to eat.

It was so spicy!  I had to have two small glasses of milk... and needless to say, I was a bit sweaty-ish, too.  Then dad got some ice cream and I was stuck making chocolate chip cookies.  I am not sure why, but mom wanted to use the recipe on the bag of chocolate chips, which was an HEB generic recipe.  We made it in a pie, but it was like an inch thick, so it took forever to bake and it was so totally bland and flavorless it was insane.  I remembered why I never make chocolate chip cookies... they just have no flavor and are so boring.

Mom and dad eventually joined me in the living room and we watched What Women Want and then we watched something I'd recorded called Elephant Man Autopsy.  It was a very fascinating show.

I came back to my room about an hour ago and have been emailing Lisa, my key caller.  I'm sweaty-ish again and my back aches.  I have my next/last OB appointment at 0830, which means I have to leave at 0745 to get there with traffic.  Bleh... early :(
