Good Friday is threatening to dawn through a foggy haze. It's 68 here already and seriously muggy! At 10PM last nite it was still 78 and so humid we were just sitting around sweating--so we had to crank up the AC just to go to sleep! What an alien planet Florida is! The flowers are pretty, tho.... :) The trip to the surgeon in Orlando went well. It's a good thing I'd arranged to spent the nite up there. Keith was ready for a long nap after 2 hours in that traffic! Imagine having to get a room for a 60 mile trip!
The surgeon was quite pleased with him and assured him that he's lookin' good. And told us there is no reason to have to keep making the trip up to see him--the cardiologist who started the whole chain of events is a lot closer to where we live! So Keith will be reporting to him from now on. Which means that *I* don't have to do downtown Orlando again! YIPPPEE! We're still stuck here until after he sees the VA doctor on the 4th of May, and gets an official release from the cardio, but we're counting down!
Meanwhile, this little 'box' is getting smaller and smaller and smaller.... It was never meant to be a permanent home for 2 adults and 3 little dogs! We have just about maxed out our ability to cope with the lack of space! The minute we close it up and kick on the AC, it becomes a TINY little RV! We've really been enjoying our 'Florida Room'--if we could get tv reception out there, we could spend even more time in it! We still have to light the mosquito repellent thingies, but then we can sit out there unmolested. :)
TODAY is Lana & Josh's wedding anniversary. I'm ashamed to say I've lost track of which one...but I know it's got to be at least 8 years!!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Scruffy the puppy went for his last set of shots on Wednesday, and weighed in at 12 1/2 pounds! He was a little over 7 pounds when we got him, 2 months ago! He's such a funny little guy, very independent, fierce, cuddly and just plain silly. He's been so much fun to watch grow!
And so, as the medical bills continue to dribble in, and the total climbs higher, we're doing well and staying afloat...marking time until we can head north again. Most of our Snowbird neighbors are packing up and leaving and we figure by next week a simple trip to the grocery will be less of an obstacle course.... Kind of looking forward to THAT! LOL! Today we're going to head West--take the 'Gun Boat' and go have a look at the RVs on the "biggest RV lot in the Country" over by Tampa. Ya gotta wonder what the salesmen will be saying when we pull up in our rolling storage shed..... LOL!
Ya'll have a great holiday weekend.....
