I'm awake at daybreak and standing on a ladder with a paint brush in my hand at 7 A M .. EASTERN time! Did that until about 1:30 ... not a lot of air moving around that place with no electric on and it's almost 90 outside but I now have two rooms DONE (mostly). They still need baseboards trimmed but I'm saving ALL baseboards for "THE END>"
Then I helped a friend move into their new condo - from an efficiency on the beach slightly bigger than a walkin closet to a 2000 sq ft BRAND NEW construction downtown five minutes from work. Yep, I'd say steppin' UP!
But I'm home and showered by 7:30 and then it's "HAPPY HOUR". And sunset is officially at 8:30 but I like an EARLY SEAT please. It's been quite rainy here so we haven't seen the sun kiss the water in a while - too many clouds on the horizon. But that in itself can be quite beautiful. Mother nature at her grandest - sunrise and sunset!
By dark, I have dragged myself the 150' back from the beach to my front porch step . well sorta. The front unit, and it's associated parking front onto Gulf Blvd. - THE main drag north-south along the barrier islands. Clearwater to the north about 30 miles and St. Pete Beach (and the entrance way into Tampa Bay) are 7 miles south. I live on a strip of sand fronting the Gulf of Mexico. And if that weren't enough, I live at the south foot of John's Pass Bridge linking my sandbar to the one a bit north. Oh, and the bridge is under a MAJOR remodel. They are totally replacing BOTH draw bridges over this pass. It's been under construction for almost two years now and has at least one more to go.
Lot's of traffic .. foot and vehicular. it's a beautiful night here in Paradise.

Maybe I'll have to come down one of these days and rent one of the units - they seem to constantly be in turnover status. I could keep an eye on things while you and the parents are away. I'm getting tired of corporate life.
