Thanks for our TGIF Daily, Rich and thanks to our F & B team. Cheers to the Armed Forces and all the wonderful Autns and uncles out there. My sweet ones have all left this earth - RIP. That quote is so true and OMG on the meal. DD DH would be salivating and yes, I used to make it for him. he wine sounds very tempting 😘 Staging is work but I think it’s do-able. No furniture needs to go as a) we have nice furniture and b) I already donated a bunch and made space. I have a few more things to give away right now and the rest of the stuff in th basement is going in a dumpster. I feel badly but I have spent a year and a half donating and I need to get it finished. I’m taking the easy way out for what’s left. legs will just have to put up with it. Move, rest, move rest. LOL. Very frustrating and takes longer to do things. I started some gentle physio last night in the hopes that will help as they heal. Days are very busy with all the efforts. Hopefully it will be worthwhile. going to try to drive today - I need some basic food and it can’t be put off any longer. I confess the magnanimity of what I was doing hit me last night. Well, I’ve already waded into the water so I might as well get right in. Prayers for those on the Care list & all those who need them 🙏. Cheers to those celebrating and cruising 🥂

HOLLAND AMERICA BOARD'S FUTURE CRUISE LISTING Updated July 26th, 2024 We all love to hear what cruises you are booked on. I post the Bon Voyage threads 7 days before sailing so, to be included in this: Post 3 weeks in advance so you aren’t missed. 1st cruise, anniversary, special celebration? Let us know. Details needed are in the 2nd post of this thread. Please use REPLY and not QUOTE when posting to this thread. Using 'Quote' makes a very long thread and cumbersome to read. Don’t mistake this for a Roll Call. Go to the Roll Call Section here on Cruise Critic to find your cruise & sign up.

Happy to do so, Sandi 🙂

Thanks for our Thursday Daily, Rich and thanks to the F. B team. All veterans deserve to be recognized and appreciated. LOL on the Joan River quote. The wine sounds a little too pricey for me. Couldn’t come back yesterday. TV went out so I did some boxes. Then my neighbour let me know it was up. Nope, not mine. None of the regular stuff worked. So he came over and rebooted the modem - nada. On the phone to the provider and after following instructions I was left with NO phone, internet or alarm system. Provider got someone out before day’s end after 2 hours of piddling - everything was up and running. By then it was time for my workers to arrive to bring out my boxes, bring up stuff for me to pack, take out the boxes, etc. By the end of the day I was exhausted and my legs were killing me.And of course I couldn’t get a full night’s sleep. 😔 Realtors come today regarding staging the house. Just hope there doesn’t have to be too much. 🤞 @cat shepard your meme really hit home for me wink.😘 Oeayers for those on the care list abd those that need t them 🙏 Cheers to those celebrating and cruising.

Thanks for our Hump Day Daily, rich and thank to our F & B team. Sandi @StLouisCruisers the twins are adorable ❤️ Of today’s days, I’ll be celebrating self - care. heck, I’ve been celebrating it for a few days 😝 I did try the stairs yesterday - ouch - but the ouch was after I got back down at least. Did them a couple of times but being a good doobie and all is gradual and not too strenous. Lifting and weights is very limited for two weeks aw is bending. If only I could get a decent sleep. I’ve gotten creative - use the grabber to play fetch with Ivan. He’s caught on fast! More stair attempts today and some boxes to go upstairs in an attempt to pack them and I will have them brought down tonight when my helper comes. Downsizing involves a LOT of stuff! Prayers for those on the Care list & those that need them. Cheers to those celebrating and cruising.

That’s great news Debbie. 👍 hope it continues to work and improves things dor you. 🙏 oh gee, Ann, I’m so sorry to hear the results weren’t good. Pretty hard to Hoping there will be some improvement 🙏

Dixie @summer slope wishing you the very happiest of birthdays 🙂

Thanks for our Tuesday Daily, rich and thanks to the F & B team We are certainly celebrating Hot enough for ya today here and have been for a number of days. You wouldn’t know it if you saw me. I was thoroughly chilled when I got home from the hospital & had my winter pj’s and housecoat on. Now, it’s sweats - mostly to avoid aggravating the sutures. No A/C but the house stays pretty cool most of the time (which is where I have been living) My big excitement today is to try to walk up my stairs as long as there is no significant pain where my sutures are. Exciting, eh? Debbie @dfish best wishes and prayers for your procedure today 🙏 Welcome home @Lady Hudson Prayers for those on the Care list and those that need them 🙏 Cheers to all who are celebrating and cruising 🥂

Good morning. Checking in with a quick post - seems all I can do. Finally got 7 hours sleep the night before last but alas not again, last night. Feeling unwell and very tired. But sutures are holding and it will all pass (I hope). It’s hard for me to keep up with much right now, so please forgive me missing cares and celebrations. Prayers to all in need.

The special dishes do include som meat and chicken. The Peruvian chicken is delicious as are some of the beef options. There are some seafood options which are good but understand if they do not apple.

This is a very different itinerary and looks very interesting. We hope our CC friends enjoy their time exploring on land and on board their BHB and, of course, we wish them fair winds and smooth seas. Bon Voyage to Volendam - 24 day Canada, New England & Iceland: Cruizer Bill Cruizer Diana Bon Voyage !!!!!! Have a great cruise and a WONDERFUL time !!!!!!

vompletely understand. I will get it done for you, rhe upgate will be delayed a few days,

Thanks for our TGIF Daily, Rich and thank God it is Friday. I probably won’t be on a lot today. I was just too sore and tired by the time I got home yesterday after nearly 10 hours at the hospital. Still sore and tired - not much sleep last night since I had to drink a lot of fluids to get the contrast out of my system. And the IV didn’t help either. LOL. The doctors did both sides, procedure took longer than originally told due to it but they declared the procedure a success with smiles on their faces. It’s not fun - have to be absolutely still for the procedure and then 90 minutes after with no lifting of the head. Then to recovery. Finally, water. My sweet neighbour drove me there at 5:30 AM and picked me up at when it was over. Special prescription and she rushed it in and picked it up for me. Bless her. My friend came over and stayed with me and just left (it’s a requirement that someone stay with you when you are alone). She took good care of me, bugging me to drink my fluids, checking th wounds my feet and legs. LOL. Today I will try to get something in my stomach - I couldn’t eat last night - sick. And drink fluids and sleep. Ivan will be coming home tonight and, of course, the reports were he has been as good as gold. She will keep walking him as I am limited now and probably will have to do stuff to get strength back in my legs. Realtor called and the potential buyers are a no. They love it but they want to do Reno’s and with two little children afraid it would be too hard. (My friend thought they were crazy, she loves the house but everyone has different priorities and tastes). We’ll get the house staged next week hopefully when I am not so sore and get it on the market. I am so sorry to hear about the airline problems and hope everyone can get home and to their cruises. Thanks so much everyone for caring and all the good wishes. Hopefully, after recovery it will be onward and upward.
