Cruise: Day Four

Wednesday, 8 December

Day Four – At Sea



The day didn’t start that well for either of us. It was an At Sea day, so we planned to take advantage of some sleeping in time. Poor Jerry woke up at 5 with a yucky tummy. I woke up at 9:00 from a nightmare that I woke myself up from with my own yelling. Yikes! Since there was about zero chance that I’d get back to sleep, I went to the top of the ship for a little exercise. I walked a mile on the jogging track. Or maybe more. I lost count of my laps so I may have done an extra one :-) Then I went into the fitness center and walked/jogged a mile on the treadmill and a few minutes on the elliptical. I was wiped, so I grabbed some granola and yogurt from the buffet and brought it down to the room, where I enjoyed it on our balcony. Back in the room, Jerry was cacooned in bed, still not feeling well. After a shower, I went back up to the buffet place where I set up my studying and got some good studying in until Jerry met me for lunch. After a quick lunch, Jerry was ready to return to the room and bed. I did some more studying and then returned to the room where Jerry was laying on the bed, saying he was cold. I stayed for a little bit and began my new book, Room. Soon Jerry was cacooned in the covers again and I had to go to bingo by myself. I wasn’t even close to winning bingo until the last round, where I was one away from getting a wipeout bingo. But I didn’t. When I got back to the room, Jerry was still sleeping and had red sick face. He mustered enough energy to shower and join me for dinner, but after that he was ready to retire to the room. Without any drinking or gambling! That tells you how crappy he felt! In the room, we watched our second rented episode of Glee and then watching Star Trek on Cruise TV.  Not much of an eventful day!

Dinner:

Me – Mussels & Scallops in Garlic Butter (Like Escargot), Coq au Vin with Mushrooms & Polenta (yum, but bones in), Chocolate Hazelnut Tart with Ice Cream (not as good as I’d hoped)

Jerry – Shrimp Cocktail, Tuscan White Bean Soup, Penne (that was actually spaghetti) with tomatoes, onions and garlic, French Apple Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream
