Long drive yesterday to pick up DS in Orlando. We stopped in Cocoa Beach for lunch and had to sit in a sheltered spot to eat outside as the wind has been really strong this week. It makes it comfortable for walking but difficult for outdoor eating.
Today we are taking DS to Fort Pierce to visit a cider brewery. We found it last year. He really likes dry ciders rather than flavored ones and they have all kinds here. Plus the brewer is a woman which is very unusual in that industry. In fact it is hard for women to work in that industry at all because the men tend to be very chauvinistic (do people use that word any more?). Anyway I applaud her for becoming her own boss! Dinner is at the Kilted Mermaid. Unusual menu, neat ambiance, and good music.
But first a Justice walk. Have a slithering Saturday!

You guys are definitely packing a lot in on a short trip!

Freaky Friday! I like that. You should definitely use some of that sick leave since I assume you can't get commensurate pay for it when you leave?

Some medical professionals especially those working as hospitalists are not very good at working with non-medical people and explaining the situation in understandable terms. I had that problem at various times with ill family members. Having the right person explain it can make all the difference in the world.

I would have DH wash your hair too! I loved when someone else washes mine!

Greetings all
Early check in for me as I put off stuff I should be doing. Not quite ready to drive yet though I think I could. Right hand grip is not there but better each day. I am emailing pictures to my doctor. He is so encouraging.
Wow Liz your living room and patio indeed look like a decorator magazine! Perfect use of the lines and color. You have a gift. Hope your guest appreciate it.
Yay CC on cool weather. I love that rain smell too. Enjoy the art fair. Hope you find some goodies. '
Paula so sorry DSM is so ill. Not easy. Hope family follows medical advice. It's hard to set aside emotional impulses. Hoping for a good resolution.
Yeah Peps take your hooky days. Just do it. You earned it. Skip the squirrel cage class.
DH is out to lunch with his friends and will bring me a grilled tri tip sandwich. He will also run a studio errand for me. I am milking my injury for all its worth. Music will be faced soon enough. Meanwhile my big adventure is to put on latex gloves and try to wash my hair. I am looking forward to gym visit in a day or two. With some padding I should be able to hold on to treadmill. Feeling blessed.

Taking a quick break. The graveyard tour was very atmospheric with the beautiful super moon. This morning we had booked a private historical tour, which ended up cancelled, so we pivoted to a duck boat tour. I've been on several (Boston, Missouri, Wisconsin) so the novelty of going from street to water isn't so striking, but being up higher driving through the city gives great sight lines. Lots of charming old homes. In a few minutes we're going to take a walk on the beach, and then another early dinner before a carriage ride. Traveling with DHs brother, who is 10 years older should be kind of slow, but they are really on the move! I'm actually getting tired and wouldn't mind some downtime. Probably won't happen until I get on the plane Sunday.
