I think everyone questions where they are or what they're doing at least once. I ask myself a few times a week if I'm being honest but those thoughts are usually fleeting.1

So, I've got a story to tell!
I decided to make one big splurge out the inheritance money that I got after my mom died and booked a cruise. I was a 4-day cruise from Sydney to Melbourne, Australia, and back. Cool, right?
Except I'm an idiot, and due to a number of mishaps (including forgetting to account for timezones), I missed my flight. So, I called the cruiseline to see if I could get a different flight. After a lot of back-and-forth, it was discovered that the earliest flight would get me there too late to catch the boat. The only option was to catch a flight to Melbourne and get on the boat there. And it was an extra $4000. So, nope. And the payment for the cruse was nonrefundable.
Sooooo, I said, well, how bout you put me on a different cruise? I'm not super picky about the destination, I just wanna take a cruise, y'know? After more back-and-forth, they were able to book me on an 11-day cruise through Barbados and a bunch of other places, for an extra $2000ish.
It doesn't leave until the 14th, so I'm just chillin in Ft. Lauderdale for the next three days, hanging out on the beach!
It's certainly more expensive than I planned, but all in all, it's not turning out too bad, lol!2 -
Wow! That should be a great cruise this time of year. I think you’re going to have fun. 😊0

Oh My Goodness, Jenn!!! I will say that that was kind of them to switch you to another cruise, 'cause, really, they didn't have to... Sounds like a good one though, I'm sure you'll have fun. Do you have a balcony or ocean view? That's pretty worth it if you are cruising throughout a bunch of places. If it's just a trans-Atlantic repositioning or similar then it's hardly worth staring at the ocean for multiple days. Join https://cruisecritic.com/ for free and you can ask all sorts of questions about your specific boat from others who have been on it, or connect with other cruisecritic members at a private 'roll call' who are also travelling on the same cruise. A great thread for first-timers - most helpful is 'the little extras to bring' to make your cabin more functional and improve your experience. There are suggestions for the best shore excursions, including privately arranged ones that are often cheaper and better than those on offer by the cruise line. I am on there pretty often to do a bit of research on the choice of cruises and ships for our next one. Bon Voyage!0

Couldn't hit maintenance today. I'm sure I'll have no trouble making up for it tomorrow. We're going to the fair! Corn dogs, funnel cakes, cinnamon rolls. Yum.1

It was a struggle to force myself to get on the bike tonight. A couple bad days with patients dying and all I wanted to do was sit on the couch eating fresh baked bread. If my bread maker hadn't tanked a couple months ago I might have done that.1

Hi!
@sufferlandrian I'm sorry that it's been rough *hugs* I hope a bike ride will help clear your mind, at least a little
I don't know if the full moon from the weekend decided to hang out and cause chaos in my little town but holy hell it's been a mess of a night. One went to jail. Another went to a crisis center bc he held a gun to his head. And now we're out with another domestic that happened in front of the little ones....I'm ready for bed1 -
@sufferlandrian -sorry you've had some rough days. Praying the next week is better for you!
@bethanie0825 - hope you get some rest!0 -
My manager insisted I stop working and put up my spider.
Was only able to fit part of him up. Going to print a hole poster with adobe and put it behind him.

@Bethanie - That sounds like a horrible night! Hope the rest goes better.
@CaliValleyGirl - I love that spider! We aren‘t that cool in our office. Then again, the dogs would try to attack him.
@Jenn - Thanks. I can only home for a better week.0 -
@sufferlandrian I love my spider. Not as much as my boss though. She calls him her boyfriend. She's the one that put the party hat on him.0

Finally put up my Halloween decorations at home. I think I may need to run to the Halloween store. My neighbors make my decorations look pathetic. 0

Gearing up for another 12hr day. Another phone call to make. Hubby tried to tell me to take a day off, but I'm training someone to be my back up lead. I'm going on vacation and need to make sure all the important stuff is covered.
No time to rest!1 -
