The conference is almost over.
Today it is raining in the desert. It has been raining all day. When we got here it was dry and over a hundred degrees. Today it is in the 70’s and humid. I heard someone say that the locals said it was a miracle. The one of five days a year that it rains around here. To me, it reminds me of home.
It has taken awhile to get used to the time change. We have been staying up late and getting up early.
We have already had problems at home. Arabella got into an argument with grandma over chores…chores that I said needed to be done but didn’t say who needed to do them..chores that I usually do..chores that no one seems to want to do like cleaning the cat box and taking out the garbage.
We have had problems at work too while we were gone. Our phone lines and Internet were down most of the morning. Customers were frustrated.
I can’t wait for the day when getting away is worry free. Can’t anyone else handle these petty annoyances? Apparently not when it is your kids and your name is on the door of your business.
I wish it was sunny and warm so I can enjoy the pool. But then I think of how dry the land is here. The mountains seem to consist of rock piles and dead trees. The grass is dust. The hotel must pay a steep price for the vegetation we take for granted at home.
Maybe miracles don’t always come in the way that we expect. It is all about perspective.
I can’t imagine the dry, dusty, desolate, desperate thirst for water….
All I can think about is that when I go to the desert it rains and when I sign up for a race it is always hot and humid… What can I say?? Sometimes life is strange..
Can’t anything in my life be normal? I suppose then I wouldn’t have anything to write about.
But maybe I should’ve packed a pair of pants….hmmm.
Great post! 😊

When you turn on the cold water tap, do you get hot water?

With the luck you have been having, I thought that maybe, you might be getting hot water when you looked for cold – like rain in the desert – etc….
