I'm currently in El Paso, TX where the temperature is hovering around 100 degrees. I just came from Hilton Head, SC where it was hot and humid and at 9am it was already 90 degrees. I'm a person who does like warm weather, but there comes a point to where you just need it to cool down a little. On the tennis court, it's especially hot since the heat comes off the concrete and makes you even hotter as your running around the court playing a 2 hour match.
I got here Sunday morning and took that day off. It was much needed since I played all of last week. My partner and I won the doubles tournament! It was quite eventful getting to Texas. My partner lives in Atlanta which is only about 5 hours from Hilton Head. Once we were done with our match on Saturday we showered and packed up and drove to her house. We did some laundry and chilled out a bit before heading to bed. I struggled falling asleep since the room I was staying in felt like a sauna. The next thing I know I wake up with sever stomach pains. It felt worse when I was laying down and here and there I would get waves of nausea. My wonderful fiance and mom were available to help me through the pain even though it was 2am there time. The pain finally subsided and I fell asleep for about 30 more minutes until I got up at 5:45am. I think I got about 3 or 4 hours of sleep.
Next, the dad drove me to the train station to take to the airport. I guess I had just missed one so I sat there for about 30 minutes. I thought I wasn't going to make my flight since I checked in with just 45 minutes until my boarding time. But everything went smoothly there on out and my bag came too! I was scared it wasn't going to make the flight.
I only play doubles tomorrow with a partner I have never played with before. She's from Bolivia. Hope things go well!
The great thing is I'm getting wonderful rest at the house I'm staying at and delicious food to eat. Cereal, fruit, and lots of pasta and chicken. The mom and I are going to attempt to make mango sorbet. YUM :)
