Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Well, I’m not feeling well enough to be out and about yet and Mike can’t go out.  He broke his partial (again) while eating ribs.  I think this is the fourth or fifth time.  I was still feeling wasted this morning.  So after cleaning up and making the bed I laid around on top of the covers most of the day.  And Mike played on the computer all day.  He called around and got an appointment with a dentist for Monday or Tuesday.

Les Miserables

Thursday, January 27, 2011:    Les Miserables is the only way to describe the past couple of weeks.  Mike was feeling bad first.  His went away.  Mine didn't  After a week or so with a low grade fever which started going up, I decided to go to an Urgent Care facility in Key West to see what they had to say.  Tested negative for the flu.  They told me I was lucky there because I would have been quarantined for five days.  What did that mean?  Would I have been locked up somewhere?  Hopefully a five-star resort?  Or would they just have told me to go home and stay there.  Sounded like the former.  At any rate, it wasn't the flu.  They didn't think it was pneumonia either  My fevered mind was running rampant at this point.  I was imagining all kinds of scenarios of being led away in cuffs to some rat and snake infested obscure key somewhere.   After I snapped back to reality, someone prescribed an antibiotic and a kick-azz cough medicine which seems to be working.  All I want to do now is sleep.  Oh, and a little Canadian Angel stopped by a couple of days ago with fresh baked banana bread.  Thanks, Johanne!  

The Lazy Lakes Trailer Trash Band will be playing tonight

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  Another warm and sultry day on tap here in the beautiful Keys.  They tell me it poured down rain last night, but I didn’t hear a thing.  This brings me to the dinner at the clubhouse last night.  After dinner the Lazy Lakes Trailer Trash Band performed, led by our intrepid Canadian, Charlie, and our talented banjo and guitar player, Jerry.  People took turns playing the washtub base and the washboard and Sandy accompanied on the harmonica.  Gotta go on a wine run today as the fun continues tonight with karaoke.  Ooooh, yeah!   After the wine run to Big Pine we had a quick lunch at the Sugarloaf Bakery on Summerland Key.  Clouded up and started sprinkling.  But still really warm.  Another beautiful day here in the Keys where every night is a Saturday night and every day’s a perfect 10!

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:   Didn’t do much of anything today.  It started out foggy and nasty looking, but cleared off nicely.  I got little to no sleep last night, so I figured a nap was in order today.  Made a salad for our dinner at the clubhouse tonight.  Sat outside reading for a while.  Mike stayed in just about all day. Upper 70s today.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  We were on our way to Big Pine to do the laundry and grocery shopping and it was already 80 degrees!  Yes!  Got those chores done, had some lunch and headed back.  We actually had the air conditioning on today.  While we were having lunch we ran into a guy we met while at Door County this past summer.  They’re staying at a park on Big Pine.  Small world!  After we put everything away we sat outside for a while enjoying this warm, sultry day.  Low 80s today.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  After that nasty storm and all that rain last night, this morning dawned bright and sunny under a cerulean sky.  That’s the way it is here in the Keys—it only storms at night and the days are pristine.  Mike put the awning back out and we cleaned up what little mess we had from the storm.  Charlie stopped by with Maple and we saw Walter walking by and welcomed him back.  Mike went off to play shoes.  I hung out reading for a while and then walked around the lake.  We had dinner at Mangrove Mama’s.  Upper 70s today.  Perfect!

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf, FL:  It poured down rain last night.  Rained most of the night.  Walking along the roads in here this morning was difficult because there was so much water out there.  Mike wasn’t feeling so great this morning, so he didn’t go over for donuts.  I did the cleaning and then sat outside for a while reading.  Didn’t last long because the clouds rolled in again.  Started getting ready for happy hour.  Looked out and the clouds were now dark and nasty looking.  Mike put the awning away and we decided we’d just stay home.  Then we got more rain dumped on us.  And high winds.  And lots of lightning.  Not a good night.  At least we didn’t lose our power.  Supposed to be nice and sunny tomorrow.
