Hello from the most boring sea day ever. It wasn’t because of the lack of activities on the ship because there were plenty.
It was because of a dog. Baloo, my daughter’s dog
who I babysat when he was a puppy, had a life threatening medical emergency last night. He was rushed to the all-night veterinarian office, transferred to another, and had emergency surgery in the wee hours of the morning. As things progressed, texts and calls between my daughter and I were numerous throughout the night and early morning hours. It was 3:45 AM Hawaii time when Baloo was out of surgery and I felt comfortable getting in some sleep. And 6 something when I got the next update. At that point I decided to turn off the alarm, push the privacy sign on the door panel, and dig out a protein bar for when I woke up.
Baloo will be in the hospital for at least another day but should make a full recovery. They had to make a late afternoon trip back to see him because the boy wouldn’t eat but his mom and dad (my daughter and son-in-law) were able to get some baby food in him.
With me sleeping in my day started late. I skipped going to breakfast, I skipped the treadmill, and I barely made my way to the dining room for lunch. I made my own lunch combo of a Thai spring roll and grilled shrimp pasta - minus the pasta.
I had to cut through the casino to get to and from my cabin and the dining room, and since it wasn’t very crowded today I stopped and played a little while. My winnings will help contribute to the Baloo recovery fund.

Put in a $100 bill, lose $30 of it, and win $1547.20.
Yeah, I’ll take it. |
After lunch were more phone calls and texts and updates which then rolled into predinner drinks. Someone may or may not have had multiple lemon drop martinis.
Dinner was another mix and match meal with this time being beef and a little baby lobster tail. The lobster looked so much more impressive when it was in the shell.

Can you find the lobster?
I think my shrimp at lunch were bigger. |
I turned in early tonight, hoping to get some better sleep. What’s up tomorrow? Another sea day, but hopefully a more productive one. See you then!
