Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Over to the KOA this morning to do the laundry.  Went through the motions anyway.  Just didn’t feel up to it.  Got that finished and back home to put everything away.  Tried to sit outside and read for a while.  Just didn’t feel up to that either.  When I try to lay down I start coughing.  The drugs just don’t seem to be working.  I think I need an exorcist.  There is something bad living inside me and I need to get rid of it.  The good news is Mike’s facial cuts from his fall are healing nicely.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Ended up going to the Urgent Care in Key West today.  Never could contact my doctor on Big Pine. They didn’t return my calls and stopped answering the phone altogether. Thankfully, Urgent Care wasn’t that slammed and I only had to wait 1-1/2 hours or so.  Got all kinds of drugs now, so things should turn around.  Mike, however, did a face plant in the coral last night while trying to reset our breaker in the dark. Lost his balance and then got caught up in Carmen’s clothes line and went down face first.  He has a very impressive black eye.  So we’re both a mess.  No happy hour for us tonight.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Well, so much for getting back to normal.  Yesterday was the worse day yet.  Was miserable all day.  Fever went up and I just lay in bed all day. Will have to decide if I want to go see a doctor or not tomorrow.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  A pretty day today.  Still not feeling too good.  I did sit outside for a while and read my book.  Felt good to be outside feeling the tropical breezes on my skin.  Maybe tomorrow I’ll be back to normal?

Thu, Jan 1, 2015:  Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  A bunch of people have been sick with colds since we arrived here.  After almost a month I thought I was home free.  Not to be!  Started feeling bad Monday night and just kept getting worse.  Feeling slightly better this morning.  Had to cancel all our New Year’s Eve plans. First time in 10 years!  Oh well, hopefully I’ll be feeling a lot better by next week.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:    I accomplished most of the cleaning while Mike was over partaking of Monday morning donuts.  After finishing up I relaxed outside feeling a sense of accomplishment, watching the clouds drifting by, and reading my book.  Tonight is happy hour at the KOA and then dinner somewhere afterward.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Really warm and sultry again today.  We were planning on going over to Roostica on Stock Island for a late lunch, so I called a couple we met down here last year to see if they wanted to join us.  They were at the KOA last night also. We met George and Jacki at 2:00 and sat around and finally got to know them.  They have a huge motor home (45 ft) in Naples and are down here visiting their son who lives on Sugarloaf Key.  Their motor home has a washer/dryer and a dishwasher.  Wow!  They are spoiled.  Came back home and sat outside for a while because it was so beautiful out.  But no breeze, so the no-see-ums were out with a vengeance.  Drove us inside.  

Took a picture of Howie last night.  Terrible picture.

Love these roosters that roam around.  This one was in the Walgreens parking lot.
