It's a long drive to Big Spring

We didn't leave Alpine until 2:30, so getting here in Big Spring at 6:00 was not bad. We only stopped once and then stopped to eat supper before checking into the hotel. I had looked up restaurants on line and there was a steak house called KC's. They also serve seafood and was right off the highway, so that's where we ate. We aren't really red meat eaters (I know...then why go to a steakhouse!) but the seafood platter is what we both got (and could only eat half of and took the balance with us for a snack) and it was wonderful. 

Then we got to the hotel. Quality Inn in Big Spring. It's your ordinary franchise hotel. Kinda weird checking in...the door lock was rather temperamental and the 'folks' outside (who...by the way...are still out there) are suspicious looking...but when we got into the room, it was actually a pleasant surprise. I should say...'just as described' because it is. King size bed, sitting area, huge TV, Microwave, fridge, coffee, tea, lots of cosmetics, iron, ironing board (foreign items to me!!)), free Wifi, a TUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, really nice.

It's around 10:00 pm I think. Husband is sleeping. It was a long day and I know he is thinking about tomorrow. It will be fine. He just dreads the invasion to his person. It's an exhausting process and he will go through another round of chemo. I know he dreads that. He has lots of plans when we get home and will be keeping busy which is a very good thing.

I think I'll knit a hat when I am done on here. My eyes are still blurry from the trip.Too blurry to sew ornaments.

I hope I didn't hit a button and wipe out a few lines here. I did a couple of posts ago, and didn't realize it till it actually posted. That's my only bitch about this netbook. I keep hitting the thingy that moves the cursor and TaDa!! Words gone!! Sorry.

I should have gotten some dessert. I was smart enough to bring a few Pay Days, but they aren't cutting it. I think a banana split sounds good. There are tea bags in here...I'll settle for that.

Besides, I can't go outside. Those suspicious looking people are still out there...talking.

Tony Curtis died! I need to look up his art. I knew he was an artist, but I had just never researched his stuff. And Eddie Fisher passed away a couple days ago...eerie. I wonder who is next.

I think I need to soak in the tub. Then...knit a hat.

I be back tomorrow with an update. Have a nice night.
