It finally happened! The frame for the house that Dennis and Di have been building for months has finally gone up. Best of all, all the plumbing that had Dennis so worried turns out is in the right places. He said now he will be able to sleep tonight and not worry about it any more. He's the type that obsesses over things like that even though he's checked it, corrected it and triple checked it.
Even my Home Health nurse noticed that the framework was finally going up on it. Many a day she came here to find the cement trucks clogging the road or gravel trucks! This house has been built to extremely incredible specifications. It's the house they are retiring in and the last one they ever will live in so they wanted it to be *just right*. LOL!
My day was very boring. Except for the HH nurse showing up unexpectedly (to the Beast's chagrin because he was in his underwear and hid in my computer room). He got mad at me because I didn't automatically bring him his jeans. It was too funny to me for some reason. BTW, all my vitals were just fine. Just in case you were wondering. She was really hooping that she could remove my chest bandage to see how that was but I can't remove it until tomorrow. I see the doctor on Friday and he will check toe and chest both then.
I just found out Buttmunch is probably going to be moving to Tallahassee to stay with a long time friend there. It may be for the best. I think Buttmunch has missed Florida for a long time. They say once you get Florida sand in your shoes, you always want to return. Buttmunch had Florida sand in her diapers....LOL. She and my other kids were born there. Heck, all my grandkids were born there, too. Even *I* admit that I miss South Florida a LOT! But I miss the South Florida I use to know. Not the one that exists now. It's way too crowded and too much a blueprint of New York now with all of the transplants from there. I moved there when it was still a small town except during Spring Breaks and the winter tourist season. I'm a midwesterner. A different breed from New Yorkers and more polite, too. But that's because Fort Lauderdale was THE place to live. Once upon a time .....!
Still, there are other places that have almost the same appeal AND the access to deep sea fishing. Lord, I miss that most of all. You haven't lived until you've caught a dolphin (no, not the Flipper kind but the FISH) or a sailfish. It's the most incredible feeling to reel one of them in. It's why the Beast wants his ashes scattered down there. He's had some of the best times of his life there, fishing.
It was nice here today even though the temperature only got up to 55 out. The air was calm and the sun was bright. The Beast started pressure cleaning the algae off the house today. We get a lot of it on one side of the house that doesn't get much in the way of sunlight. He'll be working on that for the next week. At least it will keep him busy and out of my hair.
Love you all. Back to cold, rainy weather tomorrow. Yikes! That means the Beast will be inside. Damn. Oh well. Drive carefully, especially all of you in areas that still have snow and ice on the ground. ***Hugs***
