Two girls and a Cockroach

A Video of Bravery - Not - and Triumph, Maybe
This happened last night when my friend Kate discovered a cockroach among some tools in the kitchen/living room area.
We live in Florida and the cockroaches were here before we were but this is the first one to have sneaked inside my condo and I don't want to keep him as a pet. Can you say eek?
Still in my swimsuit after a hot tub visit, I attempted to kill it while Kate stood far enough away to be able to run  if the creepy thing started chasing us.

  

So This is Owning A Boat ... And I Haven't Even Begun

Bailing Out

Two and a half hours to bail out the boat, borrow some tie downs, figure out how to work them and the best use on my tarp, go to the hardware store, buy a second, smaller tarp and a package of assorted size bungee cords, fit the tarp and create an intricate and oddly arranged system to keep the tarps in place and hopefully the rain out.
And because it's me, I did this - got my bracelet caught in the tie down ratchet and basically locked myself to the boat!  

Doh!

I did get back on track after taking off the bracelet my friend from Guatemala gave me and breaking the tie strings but not the bracelet - yay!

I think that'll work!  Wish me luck!
