Alaskan Vacation- Day 4

I’m writing this post by the pool at 5:30 in the evening. Here is the rundown of my day:

5:30 AM- Wake up with a headache- I take 3 Advil and go back to bed.

8:30 AM- Wake up, stumble to bathroom- realize I don’t feel too hot. Stumble back to the bed.

9:00 AM- I am sick. I never get motion sick, but I have a bad case of it. Brandon wants to eat breakfast in the dining room so I kick it into high gear so we can get there before it closes.

9:15 AM- High gear doesn’t cooperate with me. I look in the mirror and I’m green. At this point it might feel good to puke.

9:30 AM- I have the death grip on Brandon’s arm as we walk to the buffet (missed the dining room). He seats me at a table and I wait for him to get back.  The smell of the food doesn’t agree with me as I try not to puke. He gets back and the smell of his food does me in. I made him walk me to the back of the ship in the atrium where I can lay by the pool.

9:45 AM- The atrium has turned into heaven in the middle of the wavy sea. I send Brandon back to eat.

10:00 AM- Take a nap.

10:30 AM- Diane and Karen bring me toast and a green apple (that’s supposed to help).

10:45 AM- Nap

12:00 AM- Now I’m feeling pretty good! Take 20 steps to the lunch line and get my fruit and egg salad sandwich. People watch while I eat.

1:00 PM- Nap

2:00 PM- Eat a bowl of yummy mushroom bisque soup. People watch.

2:30 PM- Nap

3:30 PM- Eat a brownie. People watch and start working on this post.

4:30 PM- Yawn… it’s been a hard day. A nap sounds good!

5:30 PM- Finish my blog post watch the few kids that are on the cruise play in the water. I miss my kids… but I know they are being taken care of and are having a good time with my mom and Brandon’s mom and dad. As much as I miss them I’m glad I had a chance to come and relax. After today I realized I’m worn out, stressed out, and in desperate need of relaxation. I’m pretty sure I got that today! Now I’m off to our stateroom to get ready for our formal dinner. Hopefully Brandon will get his much anticipated lobster tonight!

No lobster- booo! We did have a delicious dinner provided by the charming Constantine from Romania. Karen’s in love… again. Diane is flirting with maître de every night that has big dimples!
