Weekend, Finally

I've been dragging myself through the week, and am glad that it's my weekend. I have stuff to do, but I think that I'm going to crash soon and sleep in. I hope that I'll wake up more energetic.

I've been researching Clearwater, FL as a possible place to retire. It has reasonable real estate prices and is near the Gulf. The nearby cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg have a high crime rate though. OTOH, so does Chicago, and I've been just fine there. It would be nice to have Tampa and St. Pete nearby when I want to visit museums and attend concerts though. My dance card keeps filling up....I still want to go to South Walton, but it probably is a better place for a vacation than to live there.

Harlee is being ultra-vocal tonight. I need to go in there and appease her.

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night....

I did sleep in. Apparently it helped because I went to take a nap with Miss Z after breakfast, and couldn't fall asleep. Just as well; I have stuff to do.

The only thing is that it's dark and overcast. Not conducive to high energy. There's supposed to be "severe" storms tonight and tomorrow with flooding. Our parking lot floods, but I have nowhere else to put the car. It probably will be okay though. I noticed that my weather radio is off, so I need to plug it back in.

I tried using the SodaStream to make carbonated water and put the generic version of orange Crystal Light in it, and it's pretty good. Tastes like diet orange soda pop.

It's kind of chilly in here, so I'm going to take a shower and put warmer clothes on.

Maps and Such

Anyone have a good storage solution for maps, pamphlets, and the like? I have some stuff that my mom brought me back from London, and I want to keep it for sentimental reasons. Thanks.
