This year's trip down to Florida was a few days later, due to appointments having come right at the end of October. The drive down was pretty much routine, 15.5 hours with a few stops for gas and relief. The cottage managed to stay strong during the tornadoes and hurricanes that hit in early October, but many areas close by were hit hard, with devastating results. Six people died as their homes were destroyed by tornadoes (17 tornadoes came through the area) and huge warehouses crumbled under the powerful winds.
The rest of the month went along fairly smoothly, although the walking needed to be cut back as my left hip was hurting. I have tried to figure out if new pain is due to an IT band injury, a bursa bruise or the reduction in my anti-inflammatory drug I take. The end result is that my miles per week have taken a major hit.
There were no major projects on the docket as daily events seemed to take precedence and all projects were put on the back burner. Most consist of finishing up detail work left over from projects I did last season.
