Interesting things we did this week

  • First week working at home has been fun.  I’m multi-tasking like a crazy person.  Its nice to be able to use what was previously wasted time.  I don’t have to wait for the weekend to do my laundry.  I’m working on side projects when there aren’t any calls.  Next week I’m going to set up my skin care program so I can get back to that, which has been neglected.  There are some negatives of course, I miss my work chair.  I didn’t realize how nice our chairs were until I started using the one that was in this room.  My back hurts a lot.  I’m also in a very small space and I have to have my work stuff and personal stuff on crammed into this small space and utilizing only two power outlets.  The wires are a mess and trying not to trip or get them tangled is a chore.  I have some ideas to utilize the space better, but we’ll see.
  • I’m working Gils neighborhood in the morning now, rather than the pond around work.  I’ve taken a number of different routes but I’ve discovered I can get to the Fossil Park walking trail and do a loop and get back and make 3.2 miles.  If I leave early enough, I’m going to start to use this route often.
  • I seem to be in a good place with the plasma donation now, I haven’t failed protein for awhile and I’m making my twice weekly donations.  I’m not loosing much weight because of the constant intake of protein, but next week I’m going to try a more focused attempt:  heavy protein 3x a week and heavy veg the other 4 days.  We’ll see how that works.
  • Gil and I have decided to get the Disney tickets for the Florida Resident deal and I’m very excited.  The Festival of the Arts is going on right now at Epcot and I miss it.

May has turned into a the beginning of the next stage.  We’ve been fully vaccinated and the world is slowly starting to open back up.  I’ve put together the Costa Rica trip, which is now taking place in August, as the airfare is much cheaper.  I was able to get it through SW and use my point, yay!  I’ve booked lodging for 11 days - $300 for the first 10 days and $100 for the last day, lol.  I could have gone cheap on the last day, I have places that I use close to the airport, but the name brand hotels next to the airport are usually really expensive and I was able to get one for $100.  We’ll have a full hot breakfast (included in the room) and a ride to the airport.  Our flight is at 8am, so I figured being really close and having that breakfast available would be worth the extra cost.  Plus, a pool, a bar and air conditioning will be nice as we wind up to go home.   I’ve rented a room in Paris for the month of November.  Th...

July 2021

July started off with a bang – Hurricane Elsa came up the coast and after much tracking and work warnings, it did virtually no damage.  We barely even got any rain.  Based on the radar, someone was getting it, but it pretty much skipped over us. The weekend before the hurricane we were still getting a bunch of rain.  It limited what we could do and I know Gil likes to go out and do things on the weekend as he spends way too much time in front of the tv during the week.  So we went to a flea market in Lakeland that offered a free circus show and alligator farm on the premises.  The circus performed on two different stages at different times of the day and were basically just local performers with some skill.  There was a girl who had trained cats, a magician, a mime…they were all talented individuals but it was about what you would expect from a free circus.  Gil and I both took our turns to be photographed with a live alligator....
