We start a long journey north on Wednesday. Leading up to it, we have been
packing the house. Packing is a lot more work than we anticipated. Because of
the many roaches in the house we are concerned about unwanted stow aways. As a
result we are washing everything and immediately vacuum sealing it into space
bags. Once sealed it immediately goes to the van. Every toy is getting scrubbed
and every bag cleaned. Much of our travel food will be thrown out. And we have
strict quarantine rules for how things move through the house.
Due to
packing, we didn't go anywhere after work yesterday. I did go for another walk
around the neighborhood, an activity that was challenged my back condition. I
have increased my back medication and am doing all I can to remove this knot in
the center of my back. I push through the pain, but, it has made me fairly
immobile and even more useless than normal.
On Monday I notice an
enormous number of Smirnoff left in the refrigerator. I can't stand to waste
such fine alcohol so I decided to do my part in reducing the inventory. What I
forgot, however, is one should not mix back pain medicine with alcohol. I found
it odd that I would take a drink and my head would immediately go fuzzy. Then
clear. Take another drink, go fuzzy, then clear. I remarked that Smirnoff has
never had such an effect on me. By the time I realized what I had done, it was
too late. Linda enjoyed taking pictures of me trying to eat dinner with
difficulty finding my mouth. I don't remember much about Monday evening but I
did sleep really well.
Tonight we are going to finish out Florida
vacation with a last trip into Disney World . We are going to the French Quarter
to eat, take a ride on a boat, then try for a horse drawn carriage ride.
