Sea sick...

Well, we've been home for about 51 hours. I love coming home. I love being able to walk around aimlessly in my house with my stuff.

Let me go back though. On Friday night the waves on the sea were 7-13 feet. That's pretty rough. The ship was rocking and rolling all night long. This is the first cruise, I've been on eight, that I got sea sickness. It's a terrible thing. I'll never mock anyone who gets it. I'm still not 100%. If I stand or whip my head around too fast it feels like I'm on the rocking ship again. oof! Yesterday I had to work, I thought it would be like the other Sundays, very slow, infact so slow that they would let me leave around noon. No such luck. I was there for my entire shift. No fun when you feel like you are on a rocking ship and watching text scroll on a screen makes you queasy. I am feeling a little better although I still have episodes. I think a lot of it is just catching up on sleep. Or that's what I'm hoping.

    I'm so glad you guys had fun, even if I am jealous a bit. ;)

    Coming home is always a great feeling!

    When I was in AK I worked on the Bering Sea. At least on a sharp note the vessel was a liner and not a tiny trawler or something...

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
