A miserable day of packing up

I was up most of the night with a aching back!  I tried sleeping on the heating pad, taking pain medications and any position i thought i could get relief.  NO luck!  I’m having muscle spasms, severe pain, burning and stinging.  Ughh of all days for me to be down in my back.  I need to pack things up as i have been so busy the past few days running around i barely done much.

I did several loads of laundry (hubby put them in and out of the washer/dryer for me and i all i had to do was turn the dial).  Hubby stripped the bed sheets and helped (he actually did all the work) make our bed back up since there was no way i could do it.  In fact hubby has had to do most of the packing as every time i move and even when i don’t i get muscle spasms.  We had planned to go to the outback steak house with our friends for one last dinner,  But that didn’t happen.   I rode with hubby to fill the truck up with diesel Ouch $4.15 per gallon, on the bright side it dropped 4 cents a gallon over night as yesterday it was $4.19!  Then we stopped by the bread store as it was on our way home and finished stocking up on his sweets and some bread for me.  Our freezer is full of goodies to take on the road with us.  By the time we got home i was in severe pain again and had to head straight to bed and on my heating pad.

Hubby made ham sandwiches and baked potatoes for dinner and then he finished packing things up.  We are hooked up and ready to roll in the morning.  All that is left to do is take down the satellite dish, pull in the slides, put the front jacks up, unplug the electric, on the inside we will just have to clean our morning mess up and pack the computers up.

In our initial winter plans we had planned to leave Miami and head to the Florida Keys.  We scratched those plans altogether as we found out that time we had planned to visit the keys was also Spring break.  No thank you, I did Spring break in Panama City Beach Fl one year and said never again did I want to be anywhere they were having spring break.  trying to get a parking place and the traffic is horrible!  We had thought about moving the Keys to the end of March but then we found out that is Guy pride week there and we figured that would be as bad as Spring break.  So it just wasn’t meant for us to explore the Keys again this year :(( 

We are heading only 114 miles North tomorrow, but if i am not feeling better by then it’s going to be a very long day.  We are heading to Moore Haven, Fl to Lake Okeechobee for a few days.
