Bad weekend for diving, but great weekend nonetheless :)
Alli & I did a dive Saturday morning, then went to North Bay Village to take sailing lessons.. or, rather, go out with a sailing club that is open to people with no experience and is therefore willing to help new sailors out. We had a great time. Yay, new pasttime; we're doing it again next Saturday.
Then Sunday we did an all-day affair behind the condo. Unfortunately, the visibility wasn't so great - and it was hella rough - so our first dive wasn't so long and the second dive never happened. Bill was the only one insane enough to brave the whitecaps, but that's good because it left plenty of time for the rest of us to sit around and gossip. And rinse the immense amount of sand off of gear. (We ALL fell when getting out of the water after the first dive. I laid there, helpless, as the waves pushed me around. Finally I had to just crawl out of my BC and drag the tank out of the water. There was sand EVERYWHERE. Aggh!)
The kittens are as lovely as ever. I'm trying to enjoy my last week with them. Right now, they divide their time between attacking random stationary objects (the broom, a napkin, MY FOOT) and following me around the house. ALL FOUR KITTENS followed me into the bathroom this morning. It's nice having an audience for everything you do. :D
Last night was ear-mite-remedy night, despite the fact I was dead tired from two twelve-hours-in-the-sun days. Kitten has contracted the mites since she started going out and I know Fluffy had them before so I checked them all.. sure enough, the nasty stuff was in one of Elliot's ears and one of Fluffy's. So they ALL got the treatment, just in case. I hate doing that kind of stuff because the cats really hate it, so they cry. It's really pathetic. But then you have four Yodas walking around the house and that's kinda funny. Lucky me, I get to do it again tomorrow night.. and every other day from there on until they're all better.
I'll get pics up later today.. of the beach, not of the kittens. Sorry! ¶ 11:32 AM
