Monday April 2, 1012

I am sitting in the dentist office as Fred is in there getting a final adjustment on his new teeth.  While in there, I have gone to the bank, it actually costt to leave here, can you believe that?  Just under 100.00...but that’s okay.  Most of the provisions have been purchased but we didn’t beat the Siesta deadline so will need to do without a few things.  Nothing major though.  I will check to side streets for bananas, which incidentally, are delicious here, not like in the US.  They are smaller and they actually taste like a banana.  Yummm!  Last night about 9:00 Fred finally finished the head, got it attached to the floor and it works.  I am scared to death to put TP in in though.  I think, it wasn’t all my Kleenex problem I caused although that was most likely the final bomb it needed to stop it up.  Calcium and stuff had built up in the pipes also, so I think now Fred will do a monthly maintenance on the head with vinegar and occasional muriatic acid.  The sink is still not together yet but that was not as important as the head.  Kinda got used to that buckit and chuck it method though.  Reminded me of the days when I was younger and visited my grandma in South Carolina.  At night that was a routine thing because you couldn’t pay me   anything to walk out to that dark out house in the night.  No way, not me.  My Uncle Herman walked me out there once, with a flashlight and told me to look at all those sparkles in the grasses and weeds on the way.  He said they were spider eyes.  I believed him but later on in life wanted to convince myself it was just reflection from the dew.  I am not sure though...I still will not walk to an outhouse just in case.  I do not like spiders AT ALL!  I’ll take the buckit and chuckit method any day, even on a boat!

I went through a gallon of bleach last night cleaning the boat.  Just had to be safe.  I think I got it covered.  Floors to ceiling and everything in between.  I even poured bleach down the walls of the head.  I never thought I would be happy to clean up a job like that but the alternative would have been worse.  I just sucked it up, put on my big girl panties and just did it!  All clean now.

After Fred get’s done with the dentist, we are going to immigrations to check out and we have to take security back to Casa Mare’ for an inspection.  That’s just what they do...then we are free to leave.
