I seem to be frozen, I can't seem to do anything I need to do. I think the main thing I did yesterday was charge my cell phone! The battery ran out 4 days ago and I just turned it off so I wouldn't have to hear the beep. OK, I did a few other things like go to the grocery store, make a meatloaf for dinner, make up some dog food, pick snails out of my pond, feed the fish, float in the pool, take a picture of this tropical lily bloom, worry about why I wasn't doing more...

It's getting financial stuff done that always freezes me in place. I know I want to do these things, I just panic at actually signing the papers or making the calls or mailing off the documents. What's up with that? I need to get over this.

We had some really heavy winds the last few days, gusts to 75mph the news said. Probably not that bad up here in the Cove but usually the winds don't effect the Cove much and this time the gusts were amazing. When it started, Mimi was gone and Diane was working next door and I just grabbed onto the edge of the awning and held on. There were calm spots between gusts that I could let go but it was about 15 minutes before Diane happened to walk over and I yelled for her to help me put the awning in.

At one point several of the big banana stalks fell over, one of them had bananas growing on it. Mimi and I tied up the other stalk that had bananas and it stayed up and seems to be fine.

I'm hoping I get more motivated soon, today I actually turned the phone on.... I haven't listened to the messages yet though so if are one of them, be patient.
