Florida Project: last visit to Disney

We start a long journey north on Wednesday. Leading up to it, we have been packing the house. Packing is a lot more work than we anticipated. Because of the many roaches in the house we are concerned about unwanted stow aways. As a result we are washing everything and immediately vacuum sealing it into space bags. Once sealed it immediately goes to the van. Every toy is getting scrubbed and every bag cleaned. Much of our travel food will be thrown out. And we have strict quarantine rules for how things move through the house.

Due to packing, we didn't go anywhere after work yesterday. I did go for another walk around the neighborhood, an activity that was challenged my back condition. I have increased my back medication and am doing all I can to remove this knot in the center of my back. I push through the pain, but, it has made me fairly immobile and even more useless than normal.

On Monday I notice an enormous number of Smirnoff left in the refrigerator. I can't stand to waste such fine alcohol so I decided to do my part in reducing the inventory. What I forgot, however, is one should not mix back pain medicine with alcohol. I found it odd that I would take a drink and my head would immediately go fuzzy. Then clear. Take another drink, go fuzzy, then clear. I remarked that Smirnoff has never had such an effect on me. By the time I realized what I had done, it was too late. Linda enjoyed taking pictures of me trying to eat dinner with difficulty finding my mouth. I don't remember much about Monday evening but I did sleep really well.

Tonight we are going to finish out Florida vacation with a last trip into Disney World . We are going to the French Quarter to eat, take a ride on a boat, then ride a horse drawn carriage.
