Another cruise done and another one started! But so far this season we seem to be doing exceptionally well; and I have to say I got a lot done last cruise. 25 new laptops reprogrammed and installed ready to run this cruise, and all the new material learned!
Yes, it was a marathon, yes I am a little tiny bit exhausted, but hey I did it! With…48 hours to spare!
Enough time to spare that I didn’t feel guilty going home for a few hours yesterday (three cheers for a run that calls in Victoria twice a week!) and actually…having an afternoon off! Something I have to say I didn’t expect on that particular cruise.
But hey, it all got done! So, onwards and upwards I go.
I often forget how much I love Alaska, the few times I’ve managed to get out this cruise the weather has been stunning – nothing but fresh air and sunshine. These days, Alaska feels…comfortable. I know these places, I know these roads, I know all the shops and all the malls and even a couple of the movie theatres. How many countless seasons through this itinerary have made it almost like a second home. A little tiny bit on the dull side sometimes, but good for me, it clears the cobwebs out of my mind. It resets my head.
And sometimes my head needs a little bit of resetting. Then again, I think everyone’s does.
So really? Work I’m good at, people I love, an attitude that is climbing upwards instead of downwards. Money in the bank and a roof over my head, and fresh air and sunshine.
I would say life is pretty good right now. Yes, yes I would definitely say that.
