Spider Orchids and an Update
03 June 2008
Of course this would be my young arachnologist's favorite orchid. I never had a bit of doubt about that!
****************************************
So the trip to Miami was good and bad as all trips to the mainland are.
Do you want the bad first?
~ I had to sit in that office from 12:45 to 4pm before seeing the doc. I actually arrived an hour early for my appointment hoping to get out that much earlier and beat rush hour traffic but that didn't work so well.
~ The 2 new eye drops he gave didn't cure my eye in one drop, darn it! It'll take at least a month, uggh!
~ The doc actually took a cell phone call while he was in the room with me and I hardly need tell you the impression that made on me!
Ready for the good?
~ He says I have an inflamed eye, nothing else is wrong. (???)
~ Traffic was fine. (for Miami, we only almost died twice)
~ Hal and Marianna had a great Daddy/Daughter Day while I sat. It involved hobby shops, fast cars, a music store and Jamba Juice.
So today we're off to the library and the grocery store and then this evening we're hauling Hal up the mast for an inspection of the rigging. I think we'll have a salad with cold shrimp tonight. No surinami, Hal, I promise! Last week's cold salad with el fake-o crab was not the greatest success. I'll stick with the real stuff tonight.
Happy June!
