I had previously posted that I was going to take it easy today. After sitting here for a little bit, I've decided that I'm going to do nothing today. I don't feel bad, but I feel a long way from feeling good. I don't think it's anything serious, I think I have just overdone it last week or more. So,... Sign in to see full entry.

It looks like a beautiful day here in the armpit of Florida. Expected high of 84 with a nice breeze. I think we will take a day off or do a limited amount of work. It's only Wednesday, and I suspect we've already logged 30+ hours of work. There's a lot of stuff to do, but we still have time when the... Sign in to see full entry.

I've had a hard time getting back into the frame of mind to do any serious writing for multiple reasons. It's frustrating on several levels, but I will get back in 'the mode' soon. A week ago, I had a dream about a traumatic real-life incident in the fall of 1974. I started to write a short story... Sign in to see full entry.
I've done my 'thing' in the house for the morning. I did four more loads of back laundry, and I found a beautiful old mirror. I'm not sure when it was made, but the newspaper it was wrapped in was dated June 1961. It was stashed away in the 'little house out back, and I almost didn't see it. It is...

For general information. The price of apple pie in Jamaica is $2.00 a slice. A slice of pie in the Bahamas is $2.50 a slice. These are the pie rates of the Caribbean. Sign in to see full entry.
I haven't written anything other than what I have posted here today. I did get the washing machine and dryer working, along with the oven/stove hooked up and running. There was a lot of work done that was too diverse to mention but suffice to say, I am beat again. Everything I did today brought a... Sign in to see full entry.
These are the very first words of a new keyboard. I finally got tired of the other 'new' keyboard I bought in early February. The thing had a slight bow up in its middle, causing keys to be difficult to press. Some of them reminded me of my old Underwood typewriter I used in the mid-60s. You really...

Good morning. We ended up doing far more than I anticipated yesterday, and I think I was probably asleep before I got undressed last night. I hit the bed about 9 PM, and I woke up at a shameful 10:15 this morning. I must have been whipped. My brain is still yawning. I have some things I want to... Sign in to see full entry.

35. It was 35 at 6:30 this morning! We were warm in our room, but the rest of the house was cold! We didn't get to Florida in time to do all of the work we should have done, but this will be the last of that nonsense. We didn't get as far as I wanted to get yesterday, but it shouldn't take too much... Sign in to see full entry.

We got a LOT of stuff done today, but it got too windy, too cold, and I am too old to keep pushing like we were doing. It's already down to 51 degrees with very high winds. (35-45 mph!) We will shoot for completing this task Monday. We did get a relatively new washing machine, and dryer delivered... Sign in to see full entry.
