THURSDAY - August 9th[/size]<br />
<br />
Good morning Crazies and WELCOME BACK - yesterday sure was a loooong day without Cruise Crazies so I was happy to see it back up and running when I checked in during the night (am I hooked or what???)  I&#39;m sure Jason has some great things in store for our &quot;Home away from Home&quot; here - Thanks Jason for all your hard work&#33;&#33;  Tuesday night we had some of the most vicious t-storms I have even seen pass through this area and when I couldn&#39;t get on to Crazies in the morning I thought the storms did something to my computer.  Glad that was not the case. <br />
<br />
I spent the day yesterday - when I couldn&#39;t be here - tieing up all the loose ends for our cruise next week and reconfirming all our tours etc.  I am 90% packed and ready to go - all I need to do is transfer all my evening wear from the closet to the suitcase - everything else is packed.  Even Jim is ready - this is a record for him as he is the one who insists on packing for himself and also decides 1 hour before we are leaving that he needs a new pair of shoes.   LOL<br />
<br />
Mercedes - any results from your MRI yet?  Hope you are doing better and getting some relief from the pain.<br />
<br />
Jenn - I&#39;m with you - I&#39;m very good at shopping too - much to Jim&#39;s dismay.  LOL  I will PM you about our Mascot - looks like you are up next to take her cruising.  <br />
<br />
Tonia - How is the hand coming along?  With all your canning and pickling I hope you are not overdoing it.  <br />
<br />
Rose - still sending prayers and hugs your way.  How are you doing???  Have you been able to tell anyone else about your Mom or are you carrying all of this yourself?  Remember we are here for you.<br />
<br />
Maria - glad to hear your Pup will be able to hold off surgery for awhile.   What do we have to do to keep our men off the golf course in this hot hot weather.  <br />
<br />
Robert - hope you got that AC working.  This is not the time to be without it.  Hope you are staying cool.<br />
<br />
Shari - great to hear from you.  Hope that leg is doing better and your Vertigo is improving.  I am currently fighting Vertigo and it is not fun.  Hoping the rocking of the ship will off-set the rocking in my head.  LOL<br />
<br />
Carla - great to have you as part of our daily chat group.  I hope you had a really great Birthday.<br />
<br />
Jackie - enjoy that cool weather while you can - it is so beastly hot here in the NE states.  Hope we get some relief soon.<br />
<br />
Well time to get some work done around this house.  As you can probably guess the new meds the Dr. put me on yesterday and causing a bit of Insomnia and there is just so much I can do around the house while Jim is sleeping.  <br />
<br />
Make today special and share a smile.
