I’m a little tired today and decided to take the day off from both swimming and the treadmill. I just did some exercises to help with the compressed nerve in my upper leg. I still have some numbness toward my knee and wonder if I’ll ever get feeling back in that area. At least it’s not dangerous. It can, however, make you disabled if you ignore it for too long. Well, since weight loss isn’t an option for me I can only hope that the recommended exercises help! All dieting does is drop me 2-3 pounds, causes me to be stuck, and then the weight replaces itself no matter what I do. So I can only work at keeping my calories reasonable most of the time and keeping active.

When I get my new treadmill, I found some “treadmill trails” on YouTube with various scenic routes to help make it less boring. I look forward to trying those.

The hotel continues to be quiet overall but the housekeeper got a little bangier than usual and woke me up an hour or so before I would have gotten up, and I heard some stomping overhead. I’ve learned that most people really don’t sleep till around midnight.

Tuesday should be our last day here! Things are finally settling into place nicely in that we have things coordinated and lined up for getting into the house. He learned from Home Depot that they remove toilets when they’re redoing the flooring in bathrooms and then replace them so we’re going to have them install the new toilets at that time. They’re going to be regular toilets but with bidets built into the seats. I wasn’t impressed with the motion sensor ones we had since you had to wave your hand by the button. It would have been better if they flushed when you stood up like in some public bathrooms. The toilet is going to be a little high for me so I’ll have to get some kind of step for it. Low toilets are becoming hard to find.

This place stinks just as much as the other hotel even long after the towels have dried and I really hope that isn’t just a Florida thing because that would mean our house will stink as well no matter what. We should only have two wet towels, though, after showers. Here we have 4, plus our suits. At the house, we’ll throw the wet suits in the dryer which isn’t inside the house anyway. I don’t remember anyone’s house that I’ve visited in this state smelling wet and musty.

Turns out I can tell the elevation of the planes on that site after all. All I have to do is click on a plane or helicopter and it gives me information like what kind of plane it is, where it’s coming from and going to, elevation, etc.

Since Holly allows comments from anybody, I told her I hoped she was doing well and was surprised with a reply. She asked how Florida was and said to send her a message so I did.

We got dinner from Chili’s again and learned that it really is best to just go and get your own damn food because if you rely on a driver, it can take so long that your food arrives cold as ours did. Definitely wasn’t as good as the first time. I got the same thing except I got asparagus instead of broccoli. They were wimpy skinny little stalks. The fries were overcooked, cold, and not the least bit crispy.

Despite being tired I should be up in the morning to get breakfast. I got some lukewarm tea a little while ago. Why is it so damn hard for them to keep their coffee and water hot?

Our first Amazon order is going to be huge at around $700. We’re getting things we need to start off with right away.

A cheap, basic full mattress for me and a twin airbed for him that automatically keeps itself topped off with air.

Microfiber sheets for him and Egyptian sheets for me. Plus a body pillow and goose-down feather pillows for me since I like the ones they have here. They’re easier to fluff up than other pillows and to reshape, even if they don’t hold their shape for long.

Unfortunately, my shower doesn’t have a footrest so we got a cute little pink one with a drainable pocket for razors and such. Plus a 10-pack of exfoliating gloves, each in a different color.

We got shower massagers, toilet brushes (one with a plunger), and stuff to clean the upholstery with.
