Day 42 Wednesday

I hardly slept at all last night, don't know why and felt really terrible this morning. My left knee which I sometimes have trouble with, gave me trouble during the night. I not only felt tired but also sick. It was an effort to feel like doing anything. I basically laid on the couch until about 11AM.

I then decided this was accomplishing nothing, so I got up and started to remove the window frame on one of the last windows I had to fix. They put some kind of vinyl over the hardboard on the inside frame of the window at construction and in the heat it starts to peel and looks terrible. I peeled it off, not an easy task in itself and then painted it. Also give you a chance to clean the inside of the window which is part of the frame. It looks great now, but it was a real struggle as I certainly did not feel good.

No lunch, as I just felt I could not stomach it. I wanted to push myself, so I asked Katie if she wanted to go to Don Wes to get a couple of stickers for the cart. We wanted one that said Manitoba Winter Texans. The shop that does them didn't have any, but said they could make them up in 20 minutes for us...so we did.

It was late in the day so most of the little shops were closed, and because most of the winter texans have gone home already, a lot of the shops have closed for the season, it was pretty barren looking.

Katie and I came back to Pharr and went to Costco, as we wanted to get pictures of us and the girls printed out. We do that every year and put them in a frame. Erika put the pictures on a wall in the girls bedroom sort of like when you measure kids every year and make the growth on the wall. This is something the same only with pictures. When Katie finished the machine there was nothing to indicate how long it would take. We went to the opitical dept and were informed the pictures would take 5 to 7 days! What? What ever happened to one hour photos? We got out of there, that is pathetic and someone at Costco should be held responsible for wrecking a customer service which used to work well.

We went to Sam's Club where we are also a member and had our photos withing 20 minutes. Now that's service!

Had supper and just relaxed the rest of the night, and I was starting to feel much better, but still extremely tired from the night before.

Another hot day today.

Well here is hoping for a better day tomorrow as it is last Mexico day and it will be sad it will be the last day we get to see our family.

and so ends another great day in the Valley...

more later...
