I guess coming home was inevitable.

Well, it's been a whole entire day in Florida ... and it's been really nice. I can't say we've done much so far, we're just kind of taking it easy and focusing on recovering. The hot sun and humidity sure does help, but none of us are 100% yet. We went out to eat breakfast since there wasn't much food at the condo and we got in pretty late last night. We also went to Target and the grocery store. Uh, that's about all we did. We didn't even walk down to the pool or go to the ocean. We made spaghetti for dinner, watched wheel of fortune. Just took it easy and it was nice.

Oh, we did go for a walk through the community. This condo is in a gated community and we found another gated community inside of it. Srsly.

BRRRRRR! It is so cold outside that my car groaned on the drive to work. And I’m almost out of gas which means I’m actually going to have to stand in the cold to fill up my tank today! BRRRRRR!

We go to Florida in 13 days. I cannot tell you how excited I am. A real family vacation with no commitments. We’re just going there because we want to and we have nothing that we HAVE to do. Heavenly. In 9 days we are going to this place for the night. We’re actually going for Joel’s work and so there will be all sorts of people and I’ll have to socialize – which is something I am NOT good at. However, it’s so cheap that it might as well be free and Rosemary is going to LOVE the water park.

I think Rosemary did really well at "Kikijack’s" house (that’s what she calls it) yesterday. She didn’t even cry when I picked her up. Normally she cries – not because I came to pick her up, it’s more like she’s saying, “Why did you leave me here all day?” But she was happy and more interested in the toys and the fish and Jack than she was in me. There was a point in my life where that would have made me sad, but yesterday it just made me glad that she’s happy there.

Our kitchen is coming along. We have most of the wallpaper torn off and Joel has started sanding down the cupboards. Tonight I think we are going to have to start emptying out all the cupboards and storing stuff away because the sanding is going to make a big mess – and Joel plans to do more sanding tomorrow night. We are hiring a friend to spray enamel the cupboards and we are hoping he can do that while we’re in Florida. We were hoping the hard wood underneath the linoleum would be all pretty, but it’s going to be in bad shape. :-( Joel might have me convinced to just lay a new linoleum down. There is no heat source in the kitchen and I think a tiled floor – although it would look great – would be too cold. Hard wood will probably get too expensive. We’ll see. We briefly talked about laying down heated tile – but I am not sure we were thinking about price. We shall see. Any suggestions?
