Turtle

Landed at the Turtle (Myrtle, that is) Friday morning. Landed, HA! I mean, I finally got to the door. I DROVE, again.
Bag of pretzels and 4 Diet Cokes eaten during the drive. Two cat-naps at rest stops. One bathroom break and one gas refueling. The trip still took me nearly 11.5 hours.
Had a major detour somewhere in Baltimore(I think).
Off course about 10 miles....thank goodness 95 shows up everywhere sooner or later.
Got in and the house is warm, not hot but not cool either.
Had it set on the "away" temperatuere setting of 78 degrees.
I never heard the compressor kicking in and it sure was getting warm.
Was it broken again?
The mysterious HVAC guy wasn't just going to be in the neighborhood like liast time.
WTF was I going to do?
I check the fuse box. I actually was going to trip the fuse and as soon as I touched the switch it kicked in.
Note to self: BE PRESENT NEXT house build. The wiring is FOR SHIT!
[For shit seems to be coming out of my mouth a lot lately]
Anywho, the ceiling fan makes it really nice in here.
It actually felt a little too cool when I went to bed (which was around 4:30 AM). I turned it up a little and woke up to feeling like a roasted chicken.
I have fiddled with it a bit and have to get it pumping before the really hot weather comes.
Barring coming here for recuperation, I won't be back again until September! I have to have it set cool enough to keep anything from getting moldy and stale.
VERY mindful of not eating like a pig down here. Last trip I gained the 8 lbs I had previously lost back again with a friend or two.
Didn't eat healthfully last night or today except for breakfast which was weight control oatmeal.
I just had a mini DiGiorno (sp) supreme pizza.
Stocking up today from Kroger or the Pig.
It is actually nicer here, temperature wise than it was in NJ/NY the last few days.
Going to the pool and beach for some sun.
