Lazy Sunday...

It is a nice and relaxing lazy Sunday here in the house of Wolf. Today is the first REAL down time I have had in a while. Jack had surgery Tuesday, which is always a harrowing experience as it takes a lot to wake him up after the fact. Two hours of surgery and 4 hours of trying to get him awake and his pain levels under control.

Things have been better this time. Again, I can not say much for legal reasons, but the healing process has been faster and with the exception of one day, his attitude after the fact has been much better than it usually is.

Today I slept in, and after a very stormy and nasty day yesterday, it is a bright, sunny, and HOT day today. It got up to 88 degrees here, and I finally had to cut the air on as it was hotter here in the house. I took a cool shower and drug my only strapless sundress out of the back of the closet, so I am nice and comfy.

We decided not to cook a big meal today, as neither of us thought adding heat to the house was a good idea, since our a/c  is trying to shake 4 months of being unused off. It took it a while to cool the house down, since we waited so long to turn it on. It finally caught up and it is a comfy 77 here inside. I am loving it. It is so nice not to be bundled up from head to toe from the time I wake until I go to bed at night. Of course, as is typical of a Florida Spring, cooler weather will be back for the next few days, even dipping down to below freezing at night, but today gave us a taste of things to come, and I am happy.

I have just been chilling out with Jack, watching the race, today. No laundry or cleaning. That will be tomorrow. I am going to start my Spring Cleaning tomorrow. Time to deep clean and do some de-cluttering. Soon I will be able to put the heavy Winter coats and clothes away, and bring my shorts and thinner t-shirts back out.

Alex spent most of this last week with my Mom, since the kids are out on Spring  Break from school, so I could concentrate on taking care of Jack. We are both ready for her to go back to school. She gets bored very easily and she misses her friends.

So today is a day of rest, before our usual schedule resumes tomorrow, and  I start getting things put back in order around here. I got a few of the Spring editions of my magazines in the mail this week and once I finish here I am going to sit down and  thumb through them. I am loving all the bright colors and plants and flowers gracing the glossy pages.

Life is simply good today.

How was your weekend?

The Vacation Chronicles: Room With A View

I am starting to feel like one of those friends who force their guests to watch slideshows of vacation trips lol...thank you to Lyon, Stag, and Ryan for your comments on my previous entries, nice to know someone was checking them out lol...

We did not spend as much time in the hotel this year over the span of two days as we did last year in a single day and night it seems, since we were free to roam without Alex. When we were in the room, it was usually later in the evening, and the second night the storms raged, the winds blew frigid and the clouds rolled over the full moon, cloaking her in dark trappings.

I did manage to get a few blurry pics of the moon, mostly in cloud cover, and Jack managed to get one single photo of her with only the thinnest of cloud cover. I also managed to get a brooding picture of the storm rolling in over the bridge we crossed to get to the hotel.

Everything in these pics were taken from the balcony of our room.

In the pic above, those tiny docks were built just for the birds to roost. Part of the bird sanctuary was directly across the river from us.....

In the above pic, you could clearly see the storm front moving in. 

The above shot was the only "clear" shot of the moon I got. It is blurry because the flash made the pics really crappy, so all my moon shots look slightly surreal lol.

The pic above is the one from Jack's phone. I like the bluish tone it gave the pic.

I admit the views were not what most people consider magnificent, but I love storms, especially when I am not at home for it to possibly knock out my internet haha. Last year it was bright and sunny, but this year it was a rainy and stormy weekend, but that is ok...it did not slow us down and made for some awesome photo ops, like the stormy seas in my last post.

Three more posts to go!

Just in case....

I just wanted to let everyone know I might not be around for a couple of days. I intend to be, but as I live right on the coast of North Florida, Tropical Storm Ida is approaching fast...and will start hitting us in a couple of hours. As I literally live less than 10 minutes form the ocean, we are going to catch the worst of it and we might lose power. Hopefully not but I did want to warn everyone just in case I went missing lol.

Here is the storm creeping up on us, and the arrow shows where I am...

So we are gearing up for a late season storm here, and if we should lose power then I will be back when it is restored.

Have a great week everyone!
