First Full Day In JAX

Woke up this morning, rolled out of bed, Misty says "I have a problem." She threw her neck out somehow overnight...

I put some ice in a pillowcase, and when that didn't help, we went downstairs, had some breakfast, and then went in search of a massage therapist. Found one right down the street in an outdoor strip mall thing, and what? they can take you right now? Done and done. I left her there and went to shop, when my aunt Nadine called saying "what room are you in?"

"Well I'm out shopping but I can come back."

So I drove the 7 minutes back to the hotel and sat and chatted with Aunt Nadine and Aunt Barb and my cousin Claire until it was time to go pick Misty up.

We shopped at a place called "Ulta Beauty Supply" -- sort of a cross between a Sephora and the beauty section of a drug store. We found fascinators. :-)

And then we went nextdoor and got manicures, and then went to "Seven Bridges Brewery" and had lunch before popping back into the hotel, changing, and going to the very laid-back service for my grandparents. Then dinner again at the "Blue Bamboo"(+we+ are nearly regulars at this place now!), which remained fabulous. And now back to the hotel where we're about to drug up again, since while I felt MUCH better this morning I am now back to having no voice and feeling like my throat is about to swell shut, and Misty's about the same, along with a better-from-the-massage-but-still-out-of-whack neck.

Tomorrow: scattering ashes in the morning and a Shrimp Festival in St. Augustine in the afternoon!
