You have all been waiting so patiently for an update, and just to let you know I'll probably do them in Vancouver (Wednesdays) from now on so as to get a full week on one post -- seeing as how the free internet opportunities are slim to none on this schedule this summer. So, here is my update for the previous cruise.
Week #4 of 14: June 13-20th, 2007
I had many things to say for this particular cruise but thankfully I didn't post them. My mother taught me, and my father reminded me, that if I don't have anything nice to say I shouldn't say anything at all. So for this week I'm going to be horribly brief.
In a nutshell:
We had 50 children on board this past cruise and thankfully only about 10 of them were regularly showing up to Club HAL. They were all sick and by Friday the 15th I caught a horrible sinus cold from which I still suffer at the end of the week on this the 20th.
Because I was sick this week I didn't plan any excursions, it seems that I've been doing them about every other cruise. Instead of excursions I did some light errands, walked a little bit in town and otherwise caught up on laundry, updated some albums on Facebook, added the links feature that I promised to this blog (so that you can click on the photo albums without having to scroll for them in the weekly posts), and napped. Yep, this week I had to give in and nap.
We still have only two staff and so this cruise Liz and I worked from 8 am to 12 am and I believe that is why I became sick, so resting when I could was a blessing.
I would count your prayers a blessing, if you get a chance and think of it. It looks as though our department may remain at 2 regardless of kid counts, so I need prayer for health/strength in order to keep going strong.
I still am enjoying what I do, look forward to each day with its new adventures and try to see the world with fresh eyes and a willing spirit.
Til next week,
Trish
