Back at the old homestead out on the deck with my coffee, going through my pics to see what turned out from yesterday and this morning. And this is what I love about my digital camera - I took 110 photos in the past two days, there are 20 something I liked enough to post here, and I don’t have to feel bad for wasting film. :)
I’ve been up since 6 something, have been to the beach, been out and about to check out the wifi access, showered, gotten the kitchen cleaned up, and it’s almost 9:30 and I’m still the only one up. :) I really am turning into my mother, LOL. But I have made a genuine effort to be quiet, as I am sure they were all up quite late, while I crashed hard at 10:30.
The wifi hotspot is in the little new shopping center just up the street, they have a courtyard w/picnic tables you can sit at and have not one but three available connections. Only downside is no open relays for mail, which is understandable, so I have to send email via webmail. It’s quite nice, just missing a coffee shop, but I think I have to go north for that. Think I’ll get me a little thermos type thing today and I can take my own coffee. The shopping center also has “Diva’s” which advertises the best pedicures on the beach. To be honest, I think the beach sand does a better job…
I think the biggest decision we’ll have today is what to do for dinner. I can deal with that level of responsibility. I’ve managed to get a rather ugly bruise on my foot, and I can’t for the life of me figure out how I got it. But it goes well with the two on the side of my leg that look like someone hit me with a stick - again, no clue where I picked those up, I run into so many things through the course of a day.
Rental company just called, apparently the owner is getting a painting estimate and wanted to give us a heads up - I said, “Um, if they want to come over now, they won’t have access to all the rooms, cause I’m the only one up…” - apparently it will be later today or tommorrow.
Got all the old nail polish off my nails that was chipping off anyway and a clear coat on and hopefully I can continue this recent trend of not busting off all my fingernails.
Since getting this started, I’ve been out to the beach yet again, taken a very nice nap (now back to the equivalent at getting up at a sane hour), been to the drugstore for more sunscreen (Bullfrog for kids is in a nice spray bottle, however, all it does is squirt a big blob of lotion on you…not what I had in mind) and since it’s right across the street, I’m back here at the shop to post and check email and such. It’s quite cool to have a dragonfly come sit on the top of the laptop while I type. :)
Last night’s storm:
Sunrise on the beach
Looking South from the stairs to the beach
Looking North…
South again…
Pelicans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Be warned, there will be lots of these while I am here, I absolutely adore them!)
