Lazy crazy days of crusing

I’m cruising…..on a giant boat

Today was the first real cruise day. On most cruises, there’s a big, lovely day full of nothingness—just empty space and time in which you can fill your time with whatever you want. And this, to me, of ALL the reasons to work on a cruise, is my favorite part of it. It’s a true blessing to have a day to fill as you want, and then have another day just like it, and then know that you have many more of these days to come.
It answers the question of if I didn’t have to work—how would I spend my time? You can create absolutely anything you want…..do whatever you want with your time.

Today, I chose to sleep in until noon, got up and watched the old “Little Woman” with June Allison and Elizabeth Taylor, worked out at the gym (Elliptical and legs) and then we rehearsed for our new song, and did a line bash.

Next, we played a game with castles, green farm spaces, roads and cloisters. It hurt my brain a bit but I think I’ll like it.

Now, catching up on CNN on Super Tuesday. I voted early in the state of Illinois, and I really am anxious to see the outcome. This is one of the most exciting elections for a long time—my hope is that the dems win for this year.

Tonight, we’re going to dinner at the Italian place on board—La Trattoria. I finished my book that included pasta recipes, so it sounds delightful to me to sit down and have some pasta.


I’m thrilled to be back on board---so many choices to just chill.
