Oh...it must be 4:45...the alarm is going off! I just did not want to get up this morning when the phone started ringing. We set the alarm on the phone for 4:45 and it was ringing and vibrating on the bed side table next to Sherri. She finally heard it and turned it off. By that time I had slide from under the covers and was weaving my way to the bathroom.
This is the only part of working I don't like...getting up early. By the time I get my shower and put on my clothes I am set to go and have no problem. It is just that few minutes you have trying to get your legs to swing out and hit the floor that really hurts.
Sherri and I both got our showers...dressed and headed down the elevator to the breakfast room to fuel up for the day. Coffee was good this morning...some mornings it is like motor oil! Today it was just right and I had a cup. Felt good to go off after having coffee. When the coffee is so strong you could take paint off your back yard settee it just does not go down well. Some folks like strong coffee but I like it mild. I can drink several cups and feel good all day long.
We finished our set about 3:30 and walked out to the truck. On the way out we were all planning on where we would eat dinner later that evening. We all decided on the Texas Roadhouse. Plan was to meet about 5:30 and we would all go in our truck. There was 6 of us leaving from the motel and we would be meeting 3 more at the restaurant.
We arrive there about 6:00...which was about 10 minutes later than we had told the other folks in our party...but that was due to the traffic on Interstate 20. We did not plan on it so we arrived late and had everyone calling us to see if we were alright.
Everyone settled in around the tables they had prepared for us and we had a good meal and lots of laughs....as usual.
The motel we are staying in now will soon not take our Corp Card so we have to find a new place to stay. After we finish dinner we drove around looking at the motels that still took our card. The girls went in and examined the rooms and the breakfast bar and then would come out and report the findings to the guys. Well it looks like they drew a blank so now they have something to ponder over this weekend. I bet they come up with a new home away from home before we return.
It was time to go and we all headed back to our motels. Time to rest up for tomorrow and the final day of work. We finish tomorrow and then head home to the lake and no internet connection. I will drop off the grid then and will not be back until we hit the next motel with Wifi...
Somewhere in Time

We're sure glad you post when you can. We miss you when you can't. I hope all goes well with the hotels. I'm sure they'll give you something that works. Wish you could stay in your own home when you travel. Be careful out there.
