Spent the day working on various jobs, until my brother from Texas arrived late in the afternoon, then spent the evening visiting, playing pool and socializing.

Hubby ran out to the hardware store and picked up the items we needed while I did some scrubbing on the area that we will be working on today. Managed to complete the job by mid-afternoon, yeah!!! Looks great, glad we finally have a new awning to replace the one that’s been deteriorating for some time now. We also did a few other odd jobs just to finish off the day, setting up a nice living area in the “patio” we now have under the awning. Relaxed for the evening, happy that we are checking items off the list. Somehow, it seems most of the rest of the jobs are relatively minor now, hoping to get a few more done tomorrow, since the weather looks like it will be too bad to go riding, which was our original plan. Horses are bored and need some attention, but there’s a 30 percent chance of rain. We also are expecting a package from UPS, a new credit card, as some illicit charges suddenly showed up yesterday which have been identified as fraudulent, so security is requiring us to get a new card (darn it, another card number I have to memorize!)

Went to a doctor’s appointment for Hubby around mid-day, then did a little essential shopping. Arrived home and after lunch we started to work on replacing the awning on the RV, a long-awaited chore that’s one of the major jobs still on our list of things to do. Got more than halfway done, but need to take a trip to the hardware store before we can finish, to pick up some new bolts and screws to replace the old ones. Hoping to finish this tomorrow so that we can progress the plot!

Spent the day doing more laundry, catching up on my blog (sorry, it got way overdue!), and trying to get over the back ache, once and for all.

Still feeling achey and tired, so we just did a few things around the house and then relaxed in front of the TV most of the day, though we did unpack and I did do laundry.

Slept as late as we could, feeling thoroughly exhausted from all our activity. Headed out to the testing place for the catscan, waited almost half an hour before going in for the three-minute procedure. That’s all we had the energy for today anyway, crashed for the rest of the day.

Slept late, headed down to the little Spanish restaurant next door to the hotel where we got a great breakfast for about half the price of the hotel, packed and were out at noon. Made several stops along the way, including getting lost BIG TIME trying to find the feed store in Palm City where I had ordered some senior feed for the horses. My Verizon GPS was just totally off, and the roads are so weird up there we just couldn’t figure it out. Anyway, we wasted do much time there we just made it to Hubby’s doctor’s appointment in Jupiter, a new doctor that will hopefully finally solve his back problem once and for all. He ordered a catscan for tomorrow, and we headed home, exhausted once again.

Spent the day facilitating Day Two of our workshop. Finished up by 4:00, went to happy hour, had fish and chips for dinner, then changed into our bathing suits and went down to the pool and hot tub for a while, which helped my back quite a bit. Got back to the room and discovered that one of the two movie channels was doing a Star Trek Movie Marathon. The next one starting was one of my favorites, IV (the one about the whales), and I was glued until the end of VI, which was about 1:00 am.
