I would say the snow blower has made canyons one foot deep.
Its still snowing and is supposed to snow for 4 more days. Then get freezing cold below zero.
So, it seems like a good idea to get away as soon as possible. We have 2 reasons to leave now: one is the snow and the other is Karolyn's father.
Last night at Midnight we got a call from Karolyn's sister saying that her father had just died peaceably in his sleep. He took a deep breath and that was it.
Karolyn's sister has been handling the parents since we left in December. Now, after the death she sounds worn down. So, we need to get to Fla soon. As much for sister Nancy as for Gramps death.
This morning we made reservations on USA 3000 and a one day rental car, for St. Petersburg/Clearwater airport.
Its over an hour to our condo from the airport and we can't ask anyone to pick us up. So for a few dollars we can rent a small car for a day. Drive to Sarasota, pick up Gramps car and return the rental to the Sarasota area.
Tonight is packing night. Not just for the trip but also of all the leftover Christmas decorations.
Weds, I got the ok from the drs. to leave the Chicago area. Both lung and heart. I'll be taking new medicine (coreg) plus what I've been taking. Plavix, Singular, Niacin.
Well, that should be it for now.
Oh, I expect to stay at our condo until a renter arrives in March.
Then stay at the in-laws minus the in-laws until the weather changes.
That is of course if the family doesn't sell the house.
In which case, I'll be at some Sarasota homeless shelter.
I really don't care as long as I'm in some warmth.
I know the middle of Jan is usually cold in Fla but I think 50 degrees warmer than Chicago will be the norm. And much easier to breath in.
