Hartman's arrive today- Lots of chores today too


After almost a year of planning, emails back and forth, making reservations, and more planning, our Aussie pals, the Hartmans, are due to arrive at JAX today around 5 pm. Their arrival will actually be the anticlimax to a long day today-
After morning coffee, I'll be running over for a quick follow up visit to the Drs office at 0830- Seems the latest round of attempts at balancing the insulin and other medicines has produced the magic bullet to get my blood sugar back in line- My readings have been pretty much under 150 most of the time. With the new Nutrisystem D diabetic food plan I'm now on, I've dropped almost 15 pounds also, so the health side of the deal is looking ok.
After that, we have to run 45 miles down the road to our attorney's office, to pick up our new Florida valid wills, powers of attorney, living wills, etc. We discovered in a routine audit this month that since we've moved to Florida, we needed to make our stuff valid as our "official state of residence." Or, to put it another way, write a big check to the nice lady lawyer so she can have her marble bathroom and wood-paneled library for inserting our name in a word format form.
That is at 11. Then we come back, grab some lunch I guess, then about 330, hoof it up to JAX to fetch the Hartmans. I'd probably like to stop by St George St on the way back, but I'm suspecting they may be pretty tuckered out and may just want to get home and try to rest- which is also fine by me.
Weather will be nice for their time in Florida, they are saying that we are having our last cooler snap for the next 200 days, and then Florida will be headed into its summer mode.
