The Rest of the Day

I'm typing this at 1:44am, we have just now got internet back so I can update yesterday. Weird that I am up, I must not have worked hard enough. We really didn't work at all. We listened in at the Peoria church, then decided to go out on the beach. The internet repair man was suppose to call about 30 minutes before he got to the condo so we took Diane's phone out onto the beach with us. The weather was bright sunshine and hot around 93 degrees. The water is warm like bath water so we were enjoying being in the water or out sunning. Around 1:30pm Diane looks at her phone and realizes we missed a call, she listens to it and it was the repair man. I took off for the condo to wait but when I get close, I see a mediacom truck waiting with the repair man getting BACK inside the truck. Do you know how hard it is to run in the sand? Run I did and made it. Turns out mediacom is having all kinds of trouble, there must be a cut in the line somewhere which is causing major signal leakage. After he left mom and I decided we had enough sun so read our books inside. "We're not hungry" was the cry so no lunch just would plan on an early dinner. Diane and Beth FINALLY came in off the beach with an incredible story. While they were in the gulf, about 20 feet from them a huge and they said "huge" big black thing came jumping out of the water toward them. They said it looked like a sting ray without the long tail. It was about 3 foot wide and very thick. A plane was going overhead at the same time it jumped and Beth thought something fell out of the plane. They are telling us this and I asked them "did you swim as fast as you could to the shore?" No they stayed in the water.
We had dinner at DeSoto's and it was delicious. Our meals with tax and tip came to about $16.00 each. Back home to the condo, Diane, Beth and mom played a game while I read. We ended up on the balcony looking at the bright moon and stars shining on the water. Diane decided to take a sleeping pill as she hasn't been sleeping well and went to bed around 8:30pm. Not too long after, she started violently vomiting. We don't know if it was the pill or food poisoning but none of the rest of us are sick. Poor Diane, hope she feels better in the morning.
