However, with the second part, I suggest you fill the "hot" tub full of cold water. Your circulation will be improved because you will be moving around to keep warm and the cold water won't aggravate your eczema.

Gotta keep it hot or the pipes will freeze.

Heading to California this week. Going to spend a week with mom. I'm flying out, so I'll have to drive my mom's 4runner. I hate driving that car.

Can't wait for sushi, real Chinese food, real Mexican food.

It was funny. The dermatologist I saw last week asked me where I'm from, I said 55 years in San Jose. He says, "You miss San Jose food?". Omg yes.

Mom still has it. I think my younger brother said he wanted it when mom stops driving. I wish he would just come take it. Mom shouldn't be driving anymore. She drives it so little she had to have AAA come out and jump it a few days ago. I'm going to set up a trickle while I'm there.

I can't stand it. To me, it's like driving a tin can with big tires.

You make them. Also butter. And magic. Not having the butter run out is the trick. If short on magic, practice and experience helps.

Tires are bloody expensive these days. Looking at old receipts for tires from years back and those prices will not be seen again :/

Our food associations are funny. We lived in Riverside CA for about a decade. The whole time there we would wait for the trips back to Houston for Tex-Mex and Gulf of Mexico seafood. Food heaven.

Then, a grad school (Houston) classmate's cousin opened a restaurant in West Covina called the TexMex Cafe. We would drive over once a month for "real" Mexican food.
