It’s the little things that matter!

Staying at a suite a the Palace Station for a couple of nights for $20 a night with all sorts of coupons (for room service, for example). Las Vegas is really hurting for tourists.

Fritz arrives in 4 days. I’m starting to get really excited.  Still a little congested, but I feel much more like myself again and most of the symptoms are gone.

Right now I am going to get dressed in lightweight clothes and prepare to enter my house. I need some documents for the lawyer and it would be nice to get some clothes out to launder. So, I purchased the following supplies to make a sort of hazmat suit:

- vinyl painter’s suit (with hood), L (the only available size - small people don’t work in toxic environments?)
- HEPA respirator
- vinyl gloves
- hospital booties
- swimmer’s goggles
- large rubber bands

It’s really going to be hilarious trying to get this thing on by myself. I’ll be wearing it every day until I leave, so at some point there will be pictures… I hope!

This morning I drove back from the Phoenix area (more specifically, a town called Surprise) to finish some business in Vegas. I have heard that a painter’s suit will be decent enough to protect me when I go to get my things. This should be hilarious. I can’t wait to see the faces on my neighbors when I emerge in the hazmat suit.

Random cellphone pictures from the drive

When I get my hands on a real camera, there will be more of this sort of thing on our…

drumroll…

new flickr account!

It’s great to see everyone involved and excited to take the journey with us.  We’re happy to share and have you along the way!
