Day 21: Calm Seas - Busy Schedule

The seas are calm this morning, the sky overcast, the early risers are having morning coffee in the World Cafe where I choose to sit this morning to watch the morning come into bloom and write this entry. Breakfast will start shortly.

A quick look at our Ring camera’s show that our local East WIndsor, CT Police Department continues to do a house safety check at all hours in the day. We live in a small town and the town garage is just down the street from us - so it is easy for the officers when getting their gas tanks filled to do a check on our property. One of the nice things of small town life. #EastWindsorPolice

Donna and I just want you to know - “Cruising is hard work.”

Yesterday’s schedule was hectic.

6:30 - Wake Up watch the sunrise
7:00 - Make Cappuccino
7:05 - Write Morning Blog entry & personal Journalling
8:00 - Breakfast at Mamsen’s with Donna
8:30 - Another cappuccino while sitting at our spot on deck 8 - spent time going through photos - catching up on Find Penguins posts
10:00 - Watercolor Painting Class
12:00 - Caught up with Donna
1:00 - Lunch at the World Cafe
2:00 - Back to room - to relax and continue our binge watching of Downton Abbey - We are in season five. We have decided we were meant to live as the Monarchy -
3:15 - Met up with Tim for planning details about our upcoming Tahiti excursion coming up in a few days.
3:30 - Attended and excellent writing seminar
4:30 - Paul played chess with Johnathan (Johnathan won - he always does - but Paul is making it harder for him with each game they play.
Donna got in her steps walking the deck - she is doing really well to get at least 10,000 steps a day.
5:30 - Another episode of Downton Abbey.
6:45 - We decided no evening meal and spent time at the spa - Steam Room to the Ice Grotto (Repeat 3x) - Then into the jacuzzi - and finally relax on the heated lounge chairs.
8:15 - We left the spa on deck one - as we headed for the stairs to our room located on deck 8 - we both looked at each other and said “No stairs this time - we don’t want to counteract our spa time relaxation - We took the elevators.
8:30 - We decided to not attend the evening show in the Star Theater - it was another episode of Downton Abbey - then off to sleep.

So, you can see - “Cruising is hard work.” But, we both agree we are up to the task - we can do this! As I look at today’s schedule another hectic day of crying is before us. Dinner this evening will be at the Chef’s Table - we have not eaten here yet - So, lunch will be light.

Well - the curtain has risen at the World Cafe - I think I will have a Swiss & Mushroom omelette to go with my Salmon Eggs Benedict.
