Batten Down the Hatches
It is windy today. I knew it would be, because the company I work for gets wind advisories and I have to let everyone know. But man, over the course of about 5 minutes the wind whipped up something fierce, the temp dropped about 15 degrees, and I can barely see Mandalay Bay from here, which I should be able to see because I work very close to it. At least I wore a long sleeve shirt today, but I should have brought my parka.
My shoulders and neck on my left side are a bit painful right now. I slept very well, too well in fact, because I didn’t move and it all got knotted up while I slept. I have a heat patch on it right now but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference except that I’m not freezing my butt off. I wish my new gentleman friend were here right now. He did an excellent job of taking care of the foot cramp I got the other day, so I can only imagine the magic he can work on my neck and shoulders. Sigh. Soon enough, and as much as I’d love to feel his big strong hands on my shoulders I do hope this pain is gone before I see him again. Anyhoo.

Wow, I didn’t know the desert got severe windy weather. Could you not see the hotel because of the wind, or was it the dust?
Dust. Wind alone is invisible, but it can blow the dust around something fierce. My company also gets dust advisories that we have to deal with so I knew this was coming. My only fear is that the window at home is open.
The man massaged your foot Kirsten?
Geeez, you better keep him!
Slick, trust me, I’m certain that he plans on keeping me around for awhile. No worries there!
It’s been really windy here too.
