RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more.... Monday, November 07, 2005: Life in a mobile 'box' indeed. Never in my entire life have I had "uninvited guests" living in my home--not even when we were living in the country, in the big old farmhouse, did we have 'bugs'. It took 11 months for them to find us, and 3 days for me to discover the invasion and call Terminex. Now, 10 days later, they have not all left and I am just a little p.o.'d! Jean is flying in to visit on Friday nite and I am really unhappy about these bugs! I cannot WAIT to get out of this bug-ridden state, with it's hurricanes and high humidity (today was 85 degrees with an unbelievable dew point). Not to mention all the blasted Snowbirds that are beginning to clog the highways and byways and eating establishments and parking lots..... We have already had one old bag from "Wrinkle City" next door over here demanding that we call the police because of the guy who starts his "truck" (actually a dark green Camero) at 5:30 every morning and wakes her up! Shirley told her it wasn't bothering any of US because we all have jobs--and she can call the cops herself and see what happens! LOL! We finally found a doctor who believes in 'sleep disorders' and is, at this writing, conducting a new sleep study on my poor, exhausted hubby--after writing him an excuse to not work for 6 weeks and filling out the form for short term disability! Plus, we found out that the local hospital was running a scam on us when they demanded we pay them 20% up front before his hernia surgery--which we then canceled before entering into the exhaustive process of gettting it done thru the VA. Turned out that our insurance will happily pay 100% of said hernia repair...so, he gets to have that done while he is being 'studied'. For a guy who never went to the doctor before coming to Florida, he sure is getting a belly full of them now! And then we get to leave here--NEVER to return! Grandkids, here we come! :) At last report, the baby is now walking 4 or 5 steps at a time and then stopping to applaud herself--because the grownups all clap when she walks! LOL! Hey Marie! Are you still out there somewhere? Online? Dinah // Monday, November 07, 2005 ______________________ Comments: Post a Comment
