Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Dragged myself out of bed at 9:00 this morning.  Felt like I could have slept and slept.  Changed the sheets and got the laundry ready.  Decided to do the laundry and grocery shopping today instead of tomorrow.  Mike has a dentist appointment at 9:30 tomorrow and I didn’t really feel energetic enough to do it myself.  Got it all done and went back and put everything away.  Sat outside reading for a while.  Really warm—80.  Wish I had more energy.  At the last minute this afternoon we decided to go see the movie “127 hours” in Key West.  This was the movie about the guy that was hiking Blue John Canyon—a slot canyon in Canyonlands NP—and dislodged a boulder and fell, the boulder pinning his right arm.  He ended up cutting his arm off to save his life.  The movie portrayed him as an irresponsible 20-something male—which he definitely was and paid the price.  This area is a rugged wasteland of intricate canyons, sheer drops, and little water—and you’d better know where you’re going and what you’re doing.  A beautiful day today in the low 80s.  We’ve been watching the Weather Channel and the huge storm that’s hitting the central US.  And we’re enjoying 80 degree temps.
