KarmaCruisers

Drink in the suite lounge before dinner. Then dinner

7 days is plenty (I’ve got a cat at home) yes; I am grateful they came along; it’s been nothing but side-splitting laughter the entire time. I bought 100 shares when it takes at $9.30. yes; two cruises between 8/1-12/1, 21 days total.

Oops

Haha yeah; luckily we’ve been banging out 5 miles a day! Almost walked probably 35 miles this cruise!

Thanks! I think we’re going to get a drink at Crown Grille Bar; then go over to dinner at 8.

No jacket tonight (it’s warm outside)

This is the most ignorant thing I’ve ever seen; from Effy hahaha

We’re heading over to the Concierge Lounge Party (It’s a “lumberjack & northern lights” themed party) Nic and Jason are putting on their plaid stuff and I’m going to put on my plaid jacket too.

Got me a dessert

So the actual girl I’ve been hanging out with (photo in this thread); believe me I went out of my way to “spit my game”, and she straight up told Nic and Jason (when I went to the bathroom) “I’m just looking for friends.” I think she said that because when I went to the bathroom; I sneaky sent her a text that said “pssst..I think you’re cute”, and I think she said whoa whoa whoa. but it is what it is..this other girl is a young one (probably in her 20’s; I’m 42) I just want to get out of obese and then overweight, so I can actually look for a partner who is as active in a healthy lifestyle as me…

Just kidding I’m very blessed to work for a unicorn who got purchased because we were going to distrupt the market so wildly. It’s basically unlimited PTO combined with WFH three day a week. (Any three we choose), and it pays well to boot. I feel very blessed and happy that (for the most part) I’ve made the right choices in my life.

Thanks. yeah; I’ve been to Victoria before, but Nic and Jason haven’t…so we’ll probably just walk in to town, so they can say they did. I eat Salmon, yeah…we’ve been eating so much seafood on this trip we’re laughing that we’re going to get iodine and mercury poisoning, haha.

And I appreciate all the support. (Even the haters) I’ve got four more cruises this year, so definitely a lot more lives…and if the good Lord deems a woman to come into my life, then it’ll happen as it’s supposed to.

Thanks! yeah this is literally my everyday-at-work look (I’m known for wearing funny t-shirts)

Shirt-of-the-day I’m also not doing my hair today. My future ex-wife (lol) is not on this ship so I’m no longer “on the make”.

And you’re right there. I’ve just been on a health journey since 2/1 (still am on the journey) and I was doing good with exercising and eating healthy/correct portion size. But this trip is definitely a cruise or firsts (first time I went to Glacier Bay, first time I went to Tracy’s Crab Shack, etc) and it also is the first time I’ve felt like I was “on the prowl”, and allowed myself to have those FEELINGS of being “on the prowl” (I mean I was married so I guess I couldn’t be “on the prowl”, but like I didn’t even have feelings OF being the “man”) I’m just hoping when I get home to the scale; having walked damn near 5 miles a day, I hope I didn’t put on TOO much weight. (Was 224 when I left)

Thanks for the kind words; this is actually not my first solo cruise since she left me (in late January), this is the third; HOWEVER, this IS the first I’ve taken since she “went for the jugular” (all along I thought we might be able to patch it up or at least be amicable about the divorce)

I actually feel like absolute doodoo because I tried to forget about what’s going on at home; but I just can’t. I’ve been going off the rails here on the cruise because I’ve been trying to be like I was before I was married (actually even long before that; because I was in a bad place in my life when I met my {ex}wife) I’m not that hip 160lb swinging cat anymore; I’m an old fat guy… A man has to know his limitations; so says “Dirty” Harry Callahan. I tried to see if I “still had it” and apparently I definitely don’t.

I’m breaking all kinds of things Drinking like an idiot Not getting up and doing my 18-minute miles (but we have been banging out 5+ miles every day according to the Fitbit; just not at a cardio heart rate level) Eating way more than I probably should be. Even gambled a LOT (broke even in the end, zero balance owing; and earned 4500 slot points) but alas…a girl gave me some attention, but twas fleeting and it crashed & burned. (I honestly probably don’t know how to act after being married for 10 years.) So starting right this moment; I will not drink anything but water for the last two days and I’ll also eat a bit smarter. Were going to walk around Ketchikan a bit tomorrow; and probably not even get off the ship in Victoria. Today looking at Glacier Bay was beautiful. (My first time) Going to add some random photos now.
