I work pretty hard on here to catch my mistakes. I don't like reading things where my brain is constantly being hitched up on misspellings, bad grammar and wrong words.
I noticed in one of my recent posts I used the term bucket list when I should have said shovel list. It has been so long since I used the expression I didn't catch the mistake! And in the last post I said we couldn't go to Victoria when I actually meant Vancouver. Grrrrr.....shovel list!
Well what I can very accurately say is COVID SUCKS!!!!! It hurts, it's annoying, and boring. I have never sneezed so much in my life. And they are really weird sneezes, they are like little trains of three...bam bam bam one right after the other. What the hell? And I have coughed my brains out, holding my eyes in with my fingers...I still remember that show I saw where that lady's eyes popped out when she was coughing harshly. I have coughed so much my stomach muscles hurt like hell. I guess some exercise is a good thing. But the worst part is the achey sick feeling. God! That part really sucks. Oh! I am wrong. The worst part is no sense of smell or taste. None. And I have heard of people that it never came back and if it did everything tasted rotten.
I remember in 1997 I got what they called 'walking pneumonia' and I completely lost my sense of smell and taste for three months. If it had not come back when it did I would have had to get therapy. The upside of that is I lost weight. You really lose your urge to eat, no matter how hungry you get. I missed that morning coffee the most. I might as well have been drinking hot water.
So now it's four in the morning, I can't sleep anymore. All I have done the last week is sleep. I am done with it. I still feel shitty but def on the mend. I wouldn't wish this on anybody. Well, I can think of one or two I might. Lol!!! The hardest part is feeling like a failure. I was proud that our hard work had kept us out of the covid bin. Ange didn't get it! How does that even work? Crazy virus!!!
I see they are dealing with the 'next' pandemic in parliament, getting ready. If we all quit using animals for our food it would go a long long way to keeping a pandemic at bay. So during the next one only vegans and vegetarians get to complain!
Well we are trying once again to go on a cruise. Just to Alaska and back. I watch a show on tv called Mayday. I hate watching it but I can't help myself. It shows a very realistic plane crash, with real footage mixed in, then the rest of the hour is how they try to figure out exactly what went wrong. I am never flying again. That show has done me right in. So cruising is either we drive to where the cruise ship is leaving and returning, or we only consider cruises that leave and return to Vancouver.
This cruise is an eleven day round trip to Alaska. It does the usual spots, including Sitka and ironically it spends one whole day in Victoria. Maybe we will call Levi to meet us in China town for dim sum! We leave September 15th. It's probably going to rain the whole time but thats okay with me. I think we will pack rain gear. This will be my sixth or seventh time in Alaska. You never get tired of it.
What sparked this trip was a Princess cruises email offering ridiculously low prices and our dollar at par. Super cheap. Won me over!
I see it is beginning to get light outside. I am going to try to go back to sleep for a while. Maybe when I wake up my smell and taste will be back. I sure hope so. Take care people and don't get covid!!! You won't like it!!! TTYL
