Went to bed at 4:30 a.m. but was wide awake by 7:15 a.m. If you can sleep all night or are able to take a nap during the day, count your blessings, you have no idea how lucky you are.
It was a cold morning and I wanted something warm as well as a hot beverage to go with it. Headed to my favorite to go place Stripes, where I ordered two tacos and Chocolate Abuelita (Mexican Chocolate) for a very affordable $3.86.
This afternoon I made another trip to town to run more errands and tick off more things from my To Do List.
This is the second time that I am trapped during Del Rio rush hour (almost sounds laughable that we have such a thing) and to make things worst the long trains that traverse through our city made everyone head for the overpasses (we only have two).
I felt pretty good that I was able to take the back streets and avoid it all. Made me wonder why I was in the minority? I guess I really am back to being a Del Rioan!
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

A nice warm 100 degree day
I got up early (8:10 a.m.) as I could not sleep any more...it was humid and hot. We finally turned on the air conditioner and mom put on a sweater (she has a cold) and all was well. Since I was already up decided an early morning trip to HEB was in order as I have not been able to go to Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila for our monthly grocery run.
Stopped at Stripes to check out their breakfast plates which are only $2.99 daily. Had been eyeing a Stripes coffee mug that will actually fit in my car's cup holder as my $1.00 Dollar Tree mug has given all it is going to give. It sells for $3.99 and the first refill is free.
You might ask yourself "Belinda, I thought you did not like coffee?" Well it is not that I do not like coffee... it does not like ME. It makes me jittery, nervous and short tempered but if I do not drink it on trips out of town...I get very sleepy. I happen to be the sole driver in our household and I do not want to wind up killing us both.
Since I was all peppy decided to go to the laundromat and get that chore over with. It was awfully hot especially since I was driving dad's car (no A/C). It wasn't until this evening that I learned it had reached 100 degrees (38 Celsius). Guess we turned that A/C just in the nick of time.
It is past midnight and I am still jittery from the coffee I drank more than 15 hours ago! See what I mean by coffee not being my friend :-(
As a side note for the readers that prefer to send me e-mails versus leaving a blog comment...I have another change for you. I do not know what the heck I did to my e-mail account terlinguadreams@outlook.com as I am not able to access it. Until further notice please use terlinguadreams@gmail.com. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
