COLD DARK ROOM

[Pastel Tortie]

Right now, I’m in Ocala for the night...

Tomorrow is a short drive, kayaking half day, then off to the final destination.

You're in Expensive Horses Country!

I sense a joke, intricately woven into that greeting!
Hi, Lyn!

Our cruise operators promised a spectacular sunrise that can be seen off the ship as we arrive at our destination on Monday, but looking at the gray thing that is the sky, and since we're not traveling south, we might just have to take their word for it -- and use our imagination...

[emoji33] So where are you going? Or is it a mystery as well?

I think when someone asked @Maro2Bear if he was headed to The Keys, he said no, not that far south.

To put things in perspective, Key West boasts the most southerly point in the continental U.S.

I think Palm Coast Fl

Aha - so it was Florida!!
Have fun but watch out for the alligators in the rivers!

Here is my poor big baby. He finally at 11:00 last night was able to stand up on his own. That was a relief.
His drains are causing an issue with us trying to sell the house. Thankfully he is wanting to wander around. I will change out his bedding right before we leave. Today we have showings at 12 and 1. One couple is coming for the second time. I wouldn’t be so panicked except that Eric got called out to work and we accidentally both gave Sheldon his pain meds only 3 hours apart instead of 8. I hope he is able to get up and walk for me. We just go to a neighbor’s house during a showing. I also have a 3 and 4 year old to get down the road. I am a bit worried. I’m hoping Eric fixes the plant quickly and gets back home. Stressed!!!!!

I am sure that it will be fine.

So how did the showing go?

 

[CarolM]

I’m still watching April the giraffe to give birth! I can’t wait to see it!! Anyone else pop in and
watch?

Haven't had a chance lately.

You're in Expensive Horses Country!

I’ll say. Drove past some wonderful fields of green, massive horse estates.

That's just too interesting...a light gathering eye in an animal....

From what I understand, at least in bearded dragons, it's a light detecting "eye" -- more of a spot on the top of the head. It's supposed to clue them in when there are birds flying overhead and casting rapidly moving shadows on the ground.

I think Palm Coast Fl

Maybe on the way back to look at houses there, but this trip is further West and South...

 

[CarolM]

Poor you Carol!
Are you working at home or do you have to go into work?
Wherever you are, hope you manage to get some time to relax.

Thanks Lyn. I plan to work at home, but might have to go into the office if there are too many distractions.

 

[CarolM]

You could be right there is a Rome in Georgia isn't there?

My geography is pathetic, so I am staying out of these mysteries.

 

[CarolM]

He couldn't have driven too far DUE SOUTH of Maryland, as he'd be in the Atlantic Ocean... and he'd need a boat with far more oomph than his kayak!

Well I hope they are paying you overtime or at least letting you have your 'weekend' during the week!
Hopefully you'll be able to concentrate at home.

Google is great help!!

 

[CarolM]

I’m right here! Spotted one Florida Gopher Tortoise this morning...but he was heading for the interstate. :-(

Does that mean you are in Florida?

 

[Lyn W]

Time for me to fire up the popty ping!
I'm hungry but don't know what I fancy to eat.
Maybe I'll just have cornflakes and won't need my popty ping.
Decisions, decisions........................
I'll see you later
TTFN

That happened to my sister. She was a ward sister and there was a lot of lifting in the days before rigorous Health and safety rules, but she had to finish working because of her back. She had discs fused but couldn't lift after it. She loved her job too.

That is sad. Especially as she liked what she did.

Very clever.

The butterflies are migrating through San Diego! There are so many flying around!!

I can't wait. I saw six different species last year in my yard. They really like the crab apple tree in our front yard. It's not an ornamental. The birds eat the apples and people walking down our front walk grab one too.

I will take the overtime. I could use the extra cash.
