It's Christmas Eve and we're stuck here, in Houston, two thousand miles away from home and celebrating the holiday from our hotel room. Earlier today, Hunter and I went to H.E.B. to get his prescription filled at the pharmacy as it will be closed tomorrow for Christmas. For those of you who are not familiar with Houston, H.E.B. is a supermarket chain with stores throughout Texas and Mexico. We compared and found the price of prescription drug we needed was cheaper at H.E.B. than at Walgreen's so we've been going there for what we need.
While waiting for the prescription to be ready, we wandered around the store and found they had lobster tails on sale for just $5.97 each. The lobsters looked pretty good and we decided to get two of those for our Christmas Eve dinner later. Then we got back to the hotel and Hunt prepared dinner for both of us. The food was very good as usual but Hunt couldn't have more than two bites. Lately he cannot have a full meal and sometimes the food makes him nauseous so he just breaks it up into smaller meals and feels it much better this way.
We may have Chinese food and see a movie tomorrow; Hunt said it's a family tradition that we should follow. Every year he keeps saying the same thing and ends it up with a story about his grandpa, Zaide Barney who took the whole family out for the "Jewish tradition thing" many years ago in Brooklyn, New York. For me, I have nothing to oppose since Chinese food is one of my favorite foods.
Outside right now there is a thunderstorm going on here in Houston. It sounds like a nuclear bomb every ten or so minutes and then the rain comes down so hard. This will be a Christmas Eve that I would never forget.
