Today was our official Covid tests prior to cruising. They are proctored online by someone probably in Asia. The tests went well and we both passed - tested negative.
So we made a quick trip to Walmart to get some things. I packed like crazy when we got home. It was hot and I started feeling bad but pushed through. Somehow I didn't meet the criteria for air conditioning. I got the clothing done but not the "stuff".
Watched Olympics again when I was awake.
If I only knew if we were cruising. This covid test two days before one boards the ship is crazy (even if I can see why they require it).
We have been watching a lot of the Olympics. Amazing how these athletics can do what they do!
We had orange chicken from the freezer for dinner - cleaning out!
Starting to get ready for the cruise even though we won't know for sure until tomorrow that are Covid tests are negative. I moved the office stuff from the plastic folder that had come apart into the new one while shorting through to get rid of the old.
It was a cold night, down to 37 degrees but we are told that will be the last of the cold. Heard that before!
I made "goulash" for dinner.
Another cold night, I am beginning to think it is the furnace that is causing my allergies. Today I took one of the free government Covid tests and it was negative! Hopefully the tests we take for real on Wednesday will be negative so we can cruise.
Cleaned the house, later we were able to open up and get some fresh air inside.
We had pulled pork sandwiches for dinner. Talked to Brenda later.
Valentines flowers from Don - also our 58th anniversary of our engagement.
Don picked up pancakes and sausage for McDonalds for breakfast as we are making an attempt of keeping away from crowds.
It rained on and off during the night and was very humid this morning. In the afternoon the sun came out and warmed things up.
I am having trouble with "allergies" or whatever. Sore throat, etc. Don't know what the problem may be.
Talked to Sheila in the evening and watched the Super Bowl - ad's and halftime.
Yet another nice day before it turns cold again. Don worked on cleaning the shed and I sat on the deck. Some friends came by for a visit.
We picked up pizza for dinner and then more Olympics.
Went to Bushnell this morning, had several things we need to accomplish. Picked up my prescriptions that I was worried about getting before the cruise next week. No problem getting them early! Which goes to show the more you worry about something the less the problem.
Also went to Winn Dixie for a "couple things" and came out with a cart full. They had some good sales, for here at least.
Sat out on the deck this afternoon and visited with our neighbors. They are leaving early this year - next week.
Back to Bushnell later to pick up KFC for dinner and then watched more Oylmpics.
Dentist day. Don has a couple cavities that need attention. The dentist wants to "consult" with us. One reason we have gone to this dentist for so long as he hasn't tried to up sale us, so we sure hope he doesn't want to now. He did hint to each of us about "caps" and "bridges" - something we are not going to do.
We made our usual trip to Dunkin Donuts after the dentist to sugar up our teeth again after the cleaning.
It was cold last night but got into the 70's today. Watched more Olympics.
Heart shaped donut!
Sun, is that really sun? It feels so good to have the sun warming me up. We went to Walmart for some things - bought a couple expensive items so came to more than I expected. Then a stop at CVS to pick up the antibiotic that I have to take (because of my knee replacements) before my dentist appointment tomorrow.
This is Food Truck day at the park, so when we got home we picked up cheese and sauerkraut hot dogs (really good) and hot brownies with peanut butter and whipped cream. Later Don picked up a meatball sub for dinner and a bag of mini donuts for this afternoon. A real sugar high today!
Rain today and Cold. Feels like it could snow. How awful can it get? This weather is driving me crazy, where is the usual nice Florida weather.
We've been watching a lot of Olympics, at least something to do as we are shut inside our trailer.
We had waffles and bacon for dinner, seemed like a good thing to have on such a cold day.
Today was suppose to be the one sunny day but just not possible. Cold and dark and damp again. When or if it will ever end.
Cleaned the house after getting two fingers closed in a door. Don't think my fingers are going to get black/blue but they still hurt.
We had Chicken Kiev for dinner along with a salad and baked beans.
Another dark, damp, cold day. This has been an awful winter in Florida.
We went to San Antonio (Florida) to the nearest Denny's for breakfast. It is a huge place and not many people there. People are being very careful about not getting Covid.
We grilled some steak we had picked up last week. The meat is NOT at all like what one gets in Minnesota. And more expensive. Watched more Olympics.
The weather front that has been causing problems from Texas to the NE has slipped down to Florida. We got some rain during the night and it has cooled off a lot. Dark and damp.
We picked up dinner at Zacby's, good as always. Then watched Olympics on TV.
We got our Medallions for our cruise in two weeks, now we just have to test covid negative two days before.
We seem to be invaded by ants - large, biting ants. We made a trip to Bushnell to get some stuff to put by the wheels and jacks to hopefully discourage the ants from coming inside. I got bit once yesterday but I have this battery powered tool that heats up the bite area and is suppose to neutralize the sting. It worked!!
While in Bushnell we also went to Winn Dixie grocery store for meat and a few other things. The prices are hard to take, even Walmart is higher than MN.
The high today was 87 degrees! I sat outside for awhile. Don got the ant stuff out by the wheels and jacks so we will see it it works. We went back to Bushnell in the evening to pick up fish dinners to bring home to eat.
My day to clean out stuff. Warm day out at last, good to have the windows open and air the place out.
When I finished my project I sat outside for awhile, first time this winter in Florida to be able to comfortably sit outside. Then again in the afternoon.
We went to the Clubhouse for dinner. It was smothered pork chops, al gratin potatoes, beans and a really good (and sweet) dessert.
We went to McDonalds for breakfast and then across the parking lot to Walmart for some groceries and a few other things. A good time to go to Walmart as they were not very busy.
Don was in the cleaning mode today and cleaned out a lot of his stuff. I was in the do nothing mode.
We had scrambled eggs, bacon and toast for dinner.
We went to Brooksville today. Had coffee and a bagel and then got our hair cuts. I'm glad we made appointments as the place was busy. We made a quick stop and Sam's Club and a stop at McDonalds on the way home for lunch to take home.
A warmer day, last night was a bit warmer as well.
Sheila called in the evening, good to hear about their trip to Hawaii.
We had Bacon, Lettice, Tomato sandwiches for dinner. Got the fresh tomato at Parksdale Farms last week.
