Departure toot?

Checking in.

Hugs. 🐾

From my local photo guru Dave DiCello, last night over downtown Pittsburgh.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I'm not sure if foam rolling refers to those gym foam rollers or those for hair. I've only had one root canal, and since it relieved the pain and wasn't painful to get, I wasn't sure why they are so feared. I will certainly appreciate awareness of chronic immunological and neurological diseases (May 12), since that encompasses my eye disease (uveitis) and RA. Funny quote. Yes to the meal, pass on the drink, and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Phuket. My roommate in college was from Thailand and has wanted me to visit. Cats has some great music; I'm a big ALW fan. It's 53F and sunny now, but was 43 this AM. Brrr. And I didn't have the heat set to come on. We've had lots of rain, and more later today they say. I tried to see the Northern Lights but didn't see anything (too much light around I think), although some folks nearby got good photos. I was tired last night and fell right asleep. I woke up at 5, and the Care List hadn't synced on iCloud, so I had to come downstairs. I managed to fall back asleep for another 2 hours. BFF is on his own today, but has enough food. On Monday we have to visit perioperative clinic. I am going to try to do laundry today; hasn't been done for almost 3 weeks, plus there's extra from BFF being here. Only the last 3 steps coming up from the basement are a concern, as they're taller than normal steps. I will have my phone with me. I hate to stay down there for all the loads, as it's colder and no comfortable seating (only a stool). @MISTER 67 Bon Voyage George! @StLouisCruisers Bon Voyage Sandi & Dennis! @Niagarawine Bon Voyage Kathi & Ray! @Cat in my lap @Gail & Marty sailing away Welcome Back from The Grand World Voyage! @grapau27 Thanks for the explanation. Lovely weather for your lunch in the gardens. @cat shepard Great photos from your family! @1ANGELCAT I am so sorry you had to make that decision for Houdini, but I know it is done out of love. (((Hugs))) @smitty34877 I'm glad to hear that DB and DSIL have come to help the family. You are blessed to have an extended family who cares. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for the Phuket photos. @marshhawk I'm glad to hear that you got a good night's sleep! I hope your dental pain is minimal today. @kazu I hope the antibiotics are working and that you are having less foot pain. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Zaandam's hidden away now. Thanks all.

There she is. My favorite ship!

Did I miss her? Oh, I guess not.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the FR/Daily @kazu and maps @rafinmd. I'll remember my late DM on our Mother's Day; sadly she's been gone 31 years. I used to enjoy Hostess cupcakes in my packed lunches for camp. Hampsters are ok, but I never had one as a pet. That quote is "fighting words" as they used to say. Maybe on the meal, pass on the drink and wine. I will be going to Sydney for the first time on my upcoming fall cruise, so the photos will help me see what's there to see. Although due to our health issues, BFF and I may not tour around that much. It's cloudy and sprinkling rain times, and cooler (50's). I had/have some type of GI upset, that started yesterday. I didn't eat anything unusual, so I'm not sure of the cause. I am being cautious about what I eat today. I just woke up from an almost 3 hour nap, even though I slept about 6 hours last night. I plan to continue to just chill today. @marshhawk I hope all went well at the oral surgeon's office. Congrats on the sale, although it sounds like your computer system needs an overhaul to make things accurate and easier. @RMLincoln Nice Sydney photos. @Denise T Happy Birthday to Karen! Thanks for the Sydney photos. @Quartzsite Cruiser Great photos. @ger_77 I heard about the Northern Lights being visible far into NA, but it's supposed to be cloudy here. I hope DH takes it easy today. @Cruising-along Enjoy the grandkids today. Thanks for the Sydney photos. @durangoscots Yay, on being free of the responsibility for the two condos! @Vict0riann @Haljo1935 thanks for the photos. @StLouisCruisers I hope the drive went well. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Good evening. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. 3 good days. I like the quote. The meal looks good, I've never had a Cosmopolitan yet, and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Flam. I just recently watched a movie about Alan Turing and cracking the code. What a day. Raining off and on all day. I didn't sleep well last night, I think worrying about BFF. I took him to his appointment, and he will need surgery. Then we stopped and picked up a Frosty each on the way back to his house. The surgeon wanted a CT scan, as there may be a 3rd small fracture and he needs to see how large the piece is. So he called, and they said can you be here in half an hour? So out we go again. It's very hard for him to move around; I got a wheelchair and got him to the test. Then I drove home. I think a glass of wine is in order. I'm exhausted. @StLouisCruisers Safe travels tomorrow. Sorry to hear about your refrigerator, but better it happened before you went away. Lovely Flam photos. @grapau27 Thanks for the explanation of Europe Day. Nice photos. @marshhawk Good luck tomorrow. @dfish Thanks for the recipes. @Nickelpenny Hugs. I hope the surgery exceeds your expectations in terms of helping the pain and numbness. @smitty34877 I'm glad you're going to get more help, both from external sources and the younger bodies at home. Take care of yourself. @Quartzsite Cruiser Nice photos from Flam and Myrdal. @luvteaching I'm glad you were able to get through yesterday fairly well. @Haljo1935 Sorry to hear how the neurology visit went, especially with regards to the FMLA. @Cruzin Terri Feel better soon! @Heartgrove It sounds like you're having a fun time. @lazey1 I hope medication and diet will keep things on track. Sorry your son was forced to resign, but it sounds good that you will be there for each other. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I've known folks with Thalassemia, but thankfully Thal Minor, which is less severe. Those with animals should have a disaster plan, and every day should be cruelty free. Very true quote. I'll pass on the meal (don't like raw spinach), drink and maybe on the wine. I haven't been to Da Nang. I'll salute V-E day. It's sunny and 73F already. What a night! Severe storms woke me up around 2AM. Somehow I missed the tornado warning. There was one in the WV panhandle and one east of me, but neither that close. There were some trees down around here and power outages (not me). I slept pretty well, considering the storms. I had a little tingling in my leg, that I think is positional. The neurosurgeon said the pain would go away right after surgery, but the tingling could take up to a year. This was very minor and hasn't occurred with being out of bed. BFF is doing pretty good. Another friend is bringing him dinner tonight. Tomorrow we go to the Ortho doc to see what the plan is. Getting him in and out of my SUV will be fun, not. @kazu Prayers the antibiotics are working and that you have less pain. @luvteaching Thinking of you today on DD DH's birthday. @MISTER 67 I'm glad you only have Thalassemia Minor, not Major. @StLouisCruisers Good luck with your prep for your trip. @aliaschief Enjoy dinner with the Captain and your upcoming off ship tour. @marshhawk I'm glad you and DH are ok! It takes a while to settle yourself after one of those near misses caused by someone's poor driving. Good luck to DH with his appointments today. @dfish Sorry to hear about all the rigamarole regarding getting your nerve ablation. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for the photos from Hue. @Seasick Sailor Oliver is so lucky you became his parents! @kochleffel Wow on that AP report. It sounds like some type of mental illness may be involved. @rafinmd Thanks for today's maps. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @kazu and maps @rafinmd. If it's the drink Cosmopolitan, I've never had one. Cystinosis is rare, but important to know about. Someone else can have my Sauvignon Blanc. It's also National Teacher's Day. Good quote. The meal looks good. Pass on the drink and wine ($$$). I haven't been to Kushiro. An important day in history for all of us computer geeks. It's mostly cloudy here, with storms coming tonight (remnants of the bad storms in the plains). I slept well. I had taken some ibuprofen before bed, due to the increased activity yesterday. I plan to relax today and catch up on some programs on my DVR. I just texted with BFF. He's doing fair. He says it's very energy sapping to hobble around. When we see Ortho, and a decision is made of surgery vs cast, I'll ask about the knee scooter. He also managed to get someone to mow his lawn, so that's one job taken care of. Today is my DM's heavenly birthday; she would be 120, being born in 1904. She was a teacher. @aliaschief It sounds like you're continuing to have an amazing cruise. @MISTER 67 Good news about your check up. @StLouisCruisers I hope your family stays safe. This has been wild weather this spring. @kazu I'm sorry the pain kept you awake last night. Prayers that the antibiotics work and that there is no osteomyelitis. You can whine here anytime; I did that a lot, and living alone, it was helpful (and spared BFF some). @Haljo1935 Good luck with the eye procedure, and I hope the Neurologist has an alternative therapy. @cat shepard Yes, it is BFF's driving foot. He was told it would probably be several months before he can drive. He is very independent, and now says he feels like an invalid. He's normally always doing things around the house, yardwork, etc., and this is tough on him. @smitty34877 I am glad that you have some extra help with the physical stuff, while your shoulder improves. @Cruzin Terri I'm glad you are coming up with a plan that will still allow DH to cruise, and be less stressful. @dfish I hope the nerve ablation gets ordered today. @marshhawk Good luck at the vet. I always thought flip flops were unsafe, and never wear them (plus I need something more supportive for my feet). @cunnorl I was set to watch the launch last night, and then it was scrubbed. @cruising sister Oh my goodness on the tragedies for your dear friend. Prayers for her and the family. @1ANGELCAT I hope the shot helps Houdini. @RMLincoln I hope for no concerns on the colonoscopy. Prayers for DH that things go smoothly. I need to get another Covid shot also; I didn't want to get it before my surgery, so I will go soon. @Heartgrove Thanks for checking in. @quilty964 I was on a 5 year schedule too, but last time they said it's now 7 years instead of 5. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for those Celebrating.

Good evening. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I didn't know who Joseph Brackett was until Graham's explanation. I haven't eaten all day, so it's an inadvertent diet day. No homework got done today. Good quote. I'll pass on the meal (pears) and drink. Maybe for the wine. I haven't been to Bar Harbor and my NE/Canada cruise in the fall isn't stopping there. A good day in history. It's also Nurses Day! What a day. I was just getting dressed this morning when BFF called and said he thought he'd broken his ankle. So I headed to his house, got him in the car and to the ER. He was right. He has a tib/fib fracture. It's in a kind of soft cast, due to the swelling. They gave him crutches with no instructions; just some papers and to watch a video at home! Of course he nearly fell on the way out, so they gave him a walker, which worked much better. In the old days, someone from PT would come to show the patient how to use them. Then off to pick up meds. One wasn't ready, and just as we neared his house they texted. So back to the pharmacy. Then getting him settled at home involved some steps, which he went up on his backside. We have an Orthopedic appointment on Thursday, who will decide if any surgery is necessary or just casting. Oy! He's all worried about laundry and lawn mowing and other things. Sadly I'm still restricted about how much I can do regarding lifting things, bending, etc. Where's the bubble wrap? I'm finally home, getting something to eat and drink. BFF's next door neighbor will bring him dinner tonight. @kazu Welcome back and thanks for our start. I will check on the iPad. I got frustrated and I'm now using a laptop with Windows to copy and paste the Cares List. I'll have to try Brian's way, although mine pasted fine except the formatting (mainly bold) was missing. I'm sorry to hear about your foot, and hope all the treatment can fix it up completely. Your nurse sounds like a wonderful practitioner. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for the Bar Harbor photos. @Cruising-along Great photos, especially the fall ones. @bennybear Congrats to DS on his Master's degree. @StLouisCruisers I'm glad you made it home safely. Lovely Bar Harbor photos. @RMLincoln Good news that DH's eye looked better. Prayers for continued improvement. Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating.

Just a brief check in. BFF called this morning saying he thought he’d broken his ankle. He was outside his house in the wet grass with flip flops on, and slipped. Today is the first day I can drive. So I picked him up, got him in my car using my rollator, and here we sit at the ER.

@kazu Elizabeth had posted the message below on the April 24 Daily: @JazzyV You can remove both my upcoming Westerdam cruises (April 27 & May 12) from the list as we will not be going due to my growing list of issues (eyes, shoulder, knee, neck). So, I will not be going on my first TP, nor seeing Japan for the first time & will miss our annual AK in May cruise. 😪 Fingers crossed we will make Sept.🤞

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. It's Cinco de Mayo! I'll salute cartoonists. My DM liked Chanel No. 5. Childhood stroke is a sad thing. Good quote. I'd like fajitas. Maybe for the drink and yes to the wine. I have not been to Exmouth. A good day in history. It's rainy and cooler here today. The big marathon race was this morning, so runners probably liked the weather. I'm not getting as good sleep in the bed, so I'll have to decide about returning to the recliner. BFF will leave this evening, after his 2 week stay with me. @StLouisCruisers Thanks for our start. Enjoy Morgan's graduation and congrats to her! @YourWorldWithBill Bon Voyage! @Heartgrove Bon Voyage! @MISTER 67 Happy Easter. @kazu Welcome home! Hugs on this anniversary of Jose's memorial. I hope your foot feels better and that you are not getting a cold. @VMax1700 Lovely photo from Kukenhof. @Seasick Sailor What a nice photo of you and Allen. Looks like the Derby party was fun! @1ANGELCAT I hope Houdini starts feeling better. @smitty34877 I'm glad you're trying to protect your shoulder and neck as much as you can. I hope it starts feeling better, but then don't overdo it when it does. @marshhawk I hope you and DH have a good day today. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers to those Celebrating.

Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. Lots of days. Kentucky Derby Day! May The Fourth/Star Wars Day! I'll salute Firefighters. I respect chickens but still eat chicken. Business brokers have their role. Interesting quote. Pass on the meal (fish). Maybe for the drink and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Klaipeda. Ah, the day in history of the "Iron Woman" as she was called. It's been raining here since last night, but not heavily. I did go upstairs to sleep. I was afraid to try lying on my back. I got about 5 hours of sleep. Today I need to get BFF to go to the PO; they won't pick up the packages I'm sending for the research study, as they're labeled hazmat (they are just nasal swabs contained in a tube and double wrapped. Thankfully next week is the last week. @VMax1700 Enjoy your last day aboard. @aliaschief Thanks for the photos. @marshhawk I hope you and Chuck have a good day. @1ANGELCAT I hope Houdini improves with his treatment. @StLouisCruisers I too went back to sleep after posting earlier. I'm glad you're having a good time and socializing a lot. Uh oh, on the household pest! I hope it's taken care of soon. @kochleffel Thank you for reminding us about the Kent State shootings. @rafinmd Thanks for the maps.
