Too exhausted to post last night. Last day of vacation and ended up doing a lot of dog-related stuff plus got lousy sleep the night before so ate way too much Chinese carry out and crashed hard.
Work was pretty much a drag today but I’m glad I planned ahead enough to make sure I had a light day. It also worked out that I could skip cooking OR dragging in carry out so that was good too.
Sober is always good.

Day 842
Much quieter day. Walked dogs at 5:30 but then slept in till nearly 8.
Tired so not much to say except that sober is definitely better.

Day 841
It’s definitely after midnight and Cinderella has turned into a pumpkin. I meant that metaphorically but just realized it works literallyas well. I never stay up this late but that’s what a nap will do. In any case even though I’m still not back to work I’m definitely not on vacation any more: two groceries to get us back to baseline.
I’m falling asleep with phone in hand though so no more blogging for me tonight.

Day 840
Back home again.
When I woke up at 6 the ship was just pulling into NY harbor at a decent clip. The day has since included breakfast, goodbyes, car service to one house, brief shopping trip with Eldest, a 4.5 hour drive to the other house, an even briefer shopping trip with Middle and an extra dose of family drama to make up for a week of absence.
I’m tired. Fortunately I still have the next 3 days off work - I planned well, so thank you Previous Self.
Tomorrow is a whole new day.

Day 837
Oh it has been fantastic and still continues to be fantastic. My roommate and I turn out to be great traveling partners and we have laughed so much and had so much fun. Did I mention she doesn’t drink either? Yup, was one of the reasons I thought she was a good choice in the first place. Several others in our group don’t drink either.
Bermuda is...interesting. Many good things but such an oppressive history.
Not to worry; we should be gone before Hurricane Florence arrives.
More another time. Hugs to all.

Day 833 and a half
En route to Bermuda and it is awesome. Bit of a kerfuffle over access as “free WiFi” doesn’t equal “free internet” which caused the family to freak out a bit when I went incommunicado as soon as the ship left port but I bought a package and all is better now.
I really needed this vacation and it is already every bit as nice as I had hoped. Bonus: my roommate and I won the trivia contest last night.
Sober vacationing totally rocks. Every so often I’ll catch a whiff of alcohol coming from the general direction of people and think “glad that’s not me.”
It’s allgood and exactly what I needed.

Day 832
A better day. Still some frustrating moments but not like yesterday. Also Middle arrived today to take Spouse, girlbeagle and puppybeagle back up to the other house for another extended visit which I think will help everyone’s stress level. The house down here just isn’t at -all- puppy friendly (tons of wall to wall carpeting for one thing) and Eldest is stressing out hugely over her L2 year even without the extra critter-induced chaos. Plus I think she and her father tend to amplify rather than reduce each other’s emotional tension. Knowing that’s happening while I’m away is heartening.
Speaking of away....it’s finally here. Tomorrow is the first day of my cruise. My suite mate called this afternoon but I still can’t believe it’s tomorrow and actually spent more than a passing moment with the sick irrational fear that somehow I had the date wrong. Dreams were all tense like that last night too. Im not gonna be able to unwind till I’m actually ON the ship I don’t think.
And speaking of on the ship...I have free WiFi thanks to early registration and I got a calling plan for my phone so I’ll be as connected to the internet as one can get on the high seas but I still may end up not blogging much if at all this coming week. Last time I pushed the envelope and stayed up way late every night socializing then crashed hard the minute my head hit the pillow - dunno if this will be similar but if so then there may be super-short or no entries. Don’t worry — I’ll be back.
