Phoenix tripping

I'll be a good girl and visit my folks this weekend. I have the opals that we need to pick the favorite of, and arrange to get it made into a ring for my grandmother. Plus, my sister's birthday is Sunday. So I get to be babysitter to my nephew Saturday night when my sister will go out for dinner with her husband. Hope he is on her best behavior.

I don't like going up to Phoenix these days. Ever since Thanksgiving, it takes longer to get there because traffic backs up on I-10 on the way IN to Phoenix. In the perfect world, I only get a couple miles into Chandler to the Loop 202. But traffic backs up three miles to stop and crawl. So I have another route I can take. None of those helped me Thanksgiving when traffic was backed up 22 miles!

I know when the snowbirds go away, it'll go back to being a bit better. Don't think Phoenix is going to be widening I-10 anytime soon because they just finished a widening project not too long ago.

I'm still a bit tired, but feel like I slept a bit better. I woke up a few more times than normal because my legs were flexing enough to wake me up. I'll start taking the medication tonight (if I remember to take it with me).

Thank goodness it's Friday.
