Back Again

 I really must try to educate myself on the process. Holy Hannah I worked in IT. How hard can this be?

Now to figure out how to post a picture. 

 My beautiful daughter Lesley

Lesley and David got home about 8:30 this morning. The dog was absolutely thrilled. 

Then back to normal life. Standard Sunday stuff like laundry and bed changing. I’m more than willing to relinquish cooking and meal planning to the beautiful soul pictured above.  

This time next week I will be in a hotel in Tampa waiting to board my cruise ship on Monday. 

A carousel on a cruise ship - really

Sort of figured out how to add a photo. Not great but it’s there. Let me introduce Captain. 

 Okay day. Tomorrow ends my babysitting for Captain my daughter’s dog. I’ve decided I don’t think I could have a doggy of my own. I wake up now and until I touch him and know he is ok I have a minor panic attack. 

Panic or anxiety attacks are another reason I need to go home soon.  There are always people around me now but when I go back to West Virginia I will be spending countless hours by myself. Normally I enjoy quiet alone time but now I’m worrying about things like snakes. Tried to tell Bob about it this morning and he said maybe living in a camper in the woods wasn’t something somebody so afraid should do.  Since I’ve lived there for 10 years it was a really cruel thing to say. 

I do have a few things to look forward to. On February 28th I board my cruise that was “lifted and shifted” from last year because of COVID. Of coarse Catt and others were going too but Catt’s health won’t let her go now. Cancer I hate you!  Then my friend Penny is going to stop by for a couple days when she, her daughter and her grandchildren are in Florida to visit Universal and Harry Potter world. I haven’t seen her since 2017. 

Till tomorrow!

 Maybe I can commit to this blog again.  I really need to research how to do this. I’m absolutely sure I’m making it much harder than it has to be. 

I’m in Florida and have been since before Thanksgiving. This week I’m dog sitting while my daughter and her husband are on a cruise. 

Had hoped to insert a photo of Captain ( said aforementioned dog) but alas seems to be beyond my skill set. Lordy I’m an intelligent women who worked in IT how can Google and Apple be like two foreign countries and not speak to each other. 

Hopefully Amazon has a blogging for dummies book!  Better yet maybe I can download said book from the Library using Libby - that I know how to do. 

My winter home

 I arrived in Florida on Saturday night. When David and Lesley picked me up at the airport I learned that Peg was afraid she would catch COVID from me so I am quarantining at Lesley’s.  Yesterday we had lunch at Twisted Prop and drinks at Caribbean Bay. 

Today is a day to do laundry and just be lazy. Yesterday we went to Celebrations to the Columbia restaurant. The salad was excellent. I could have made a meal from just that. Lesley and I spilt a Roadt Pork a La Cubans. More than enough for two people

After dinner we all walked around Celebration’s lake. I should have taken a picture of the small alligator that I saw just feet off the foot path.   Not the best photo but a reminder of my fabulous day. 

Today turned out to be a very pretty day. It started out rainy and will probably rain again. Peg and I went to her vein Dr appointment this morning. She is to continue the meds and increase her walking. She was told to drink more water to help her leg spasms.

I haven’t walked much today but hope to remedy that when Lesley gets home from work.
