Place: Gulfport, FL 49/69
Main activity: Sun - bike, pool, laundry, around the condo
Notes: Woke early and forecasted rain had moved back (I had intentioned to be able to do a bike ride) - was windy and a thick mist/fog everywhere but I was excited to go. Had time until it got light so got the bike stuff ready, made another batch of choc whipped cream and got my coffee ingred's put together. Headed out 7a, pavement wet and a bit slippery. Rode around Gulfport a bit to see if it was going to be ok, winds whipping off the bay (from southwest) but blocked enough so that it was never horrible. Headed east then to the Skyway Trail (one of my old paths when staying at Casa and Palma in Isla) - got a full 10 mi in! Got back, changed and headed to the west pool to swim a few laps. Water sooo warm and body quite stiff - felt great. Hot shower and threw a load of laundry thru. Had coffee, watched CBS Morning show (DVR) - zoomed thru some of it, so much untrue crap! Was feeling pretty tired then late morning and laid on the couch w/ pillows and blanket, and quickly had a black and white furball land in my lap and laid there w/ me for over an hour, couldn't really sleep but rested. Some driving rain came thru but didn't seem to last long. Later, warmed some chix bone broth and watched the rest of IL/Mich college basketball - IL lost at the very end by 2. Watched some football - only 2 games today. Ate some eggs, piece of bacon and the remaining carnivore pancakes (they're so amazingly good!). Texted Cheryl (next housesit to hear they're pull-out date is 2/1 - they're driving so wanted to check). Booked another later flight back for Wed instead of Sat. Decided in the middle of 1st game to make the run to Publix to replace Susan's ice cream - BOGO on the Hagen Das so found another w/ decent ingredients and got that for me, also grabbed a ripe avocado. Was a pretty quick trip out and back. Susan called on What's App from Panama in the evening and we chatted for a bit. She was wanting me to pick her up at the airport at midnight Sat night - that might be my answer to heading back on my orig date (Sat 555p) and save me $150 and having to find another place for a few days and no transportation. Tried nachos w/ pork rinds then - added chunks of steak, black olive slices and bits of avocado and then shredded some cheddar over them. They were ok - dollop of yogurt on top. Took a night rinser and feeling quite tired by 8p and a bit of head pinching/full sinuses. Went to bed early and watched a bit more of the football game from there (Baltimore/Buffalo). Tomorrow is inauguration day ... hearing a lot of chatter that things are going to get nuts - so far I don't believe anything will really change. I hope I'm wrong. Tired and to bed early again.
