Orlando in Another Open Diary refugee

We went to Orlando for the weekend… we’d planned to come home on Monday because John didn’t have any calls booked, but he got a server call, so I said we should come home today (Sunday) instead. That way he doesn’t have to drive 300 (or whatever) miles tomorrow… and this morning when I woke up I had a cold, so we pulled out as early as we could and we were home by lunchtime. The cats didn’t have time to miss us, but they chowed down on a TON of kibble! I leave the big feeder out when we go away and it’s supposed to have enough food for 5-6 days… I filled it 2/3 full and they ate almost ALL of it before I took it up tonight and put it away!

We didn’t see Rita at all this visit, she wasn’t well… just as well since I’ve got a cold now. Hopefully I didn’t give our brother-in-law my germies… he took us to a yummy breakfast yesterday and out to the Dixie Fish House (or something like that) for a seafood dinner… I felt extremely decadant ordering shrimp AND scallops! (the scallops were amazing btw, but I don’t really like ‘rock shrimp’. They were too muddy for me…) There was far too much shellfish for me to eat at one go and I was going to have shrimp for lunch today, but I had to leave it behind in Dick’s fridge… you can’t carry seafood home 3 hours in the car, or I won’t anyway! John took his life in his hands and had fried mahi-mahi. (he’s allergic to shellfish, but he said it would be okay for us to eat it…) He said it tasted great…

guess I’d better go see if I can sleep… it’s 1am and I’m getting tired, but I feel too crappy from the stupid cold to lay down. I slept for a couple of hours after we got home today, but now I’m wide awake. I HATE COLDS!
