HTEWF, i.

Lunch was a hot dog like no other I've ever tasted, from the Indiana Jones snack shop- yummy. It was a crusty bread sub-bun filled with mayo, tomato, cucumber, and spicy sausage. I sprinted back to the hotel for a 5 minute shower- just short enough that I could let the keyless Lauren into our room as soon as I got out. I had a mini-crisis before we left because I couldn't find my back-pack filled with diabetic supplies and desert stuff after searching the bus 3 times and the luggage compartment twice (yes, I even crawled through the luggage beneath the bus like so many of us always dreamed we could when we were young). I really wish people would stop and think before asking an upset person questions like, "Are you sure you didn't take it with you?" or "Where did you leave it?" Um, yes, I think I would have noticed if I had taken a 20 pound bag with me into the burning desert seik. If it was in the place where I left it, why would I still be looking for it? Apparently it was buried beneath several other bags on the bus luggage rack and I felt sheepish for my irritation towards all the people who were trying to be helpful by asking fairly logical questions.

Yes Melanie, I know it's inconcievable to you that I was taking 5 minute showers while I was there but it's much easier to be brief when the water is shockingly ice cold and there's almost none of it...anywhere.
