Hi Guys!
We just got back from our
Disney Cruise last night. The short version - started off great, great weather, smooth seas.. etc, but then starting Tues night went downhill.. seas were rough (b/w 20-40 foot i am believing) and cool temps (low to mid 60's), yes, i got sick once, my dd got sick a few times, and you just didn't feel like doing much. I never searched so fast for those motion sickness bands in my suitcase so fast (didn't need them up til that point!!) also, thank God for Dramamine.. (didn't care too much for the Bonine) Then, on friday the
Castaway Cay day - the day i have been dreaming of for 16 months, it was cool (low 60's) breezy, and overcast with on and off showers.
So much for our day in paradise. After me and dd fed the stingrays (there was no way we were going further than our knees in the water) we got rained on, and went back on the ship. So, basically,we were docked there staring at this beautiful paradise and couldn't even go in that crystal clear water or sit in the nice warm sand..
So, I was actually looking forward to coming home.. which has NEVER happened to me on ANY Disney trip - And, made me definately decide to keep my ressie for the 5 night double dip cruise this september. (Although, when i was standing over the toilet on Tues night - i had a brief thought about cancelling..) LOL
Now, i am home, back to reality, back to work, and still feel like i am on a boat!
I guess it takes a while for the sensation to wear off..
On the homefront - i have pretty much come to grips that i will be closing my shop up. However, i am not looking at it as giving up, because i will still continue to make my products (soaps lotions etc) and just focus more on my online store.. and craft shows.
I have applied for a job at a local Methodist Church (not the one i belong to, but our "sister" church) as an adminsitrative assistant - hours would be M-F 9-2, perfect for moms . Hoping to hear from them this week.. it just would be nice to get a "regular" pay again.. and who knows, maybe when my dd is grown, i will again have a shop, but for now, i need the income and less stress.. So, i am pretty much going to put everything on sale, and try to blow it out in the next month or two.. or three.. however long it takes. I don't want to just close tomorrow, i have alot of inventory that i need to get rid of. So, it will be a slow process, but i have come to peace with it. I will probably list a bunch of lots on Ebay too. See what happens.
However, as i said, i am not giving up, just refocusing.
If i don't get that church job, i may look more into a home based job like a home
travel agent ( i would be doing great just off my family trip commissions.. we travel alot! LOL)
Or mabye Medical transcription or something.. who knows where God will lead me, but i have faith.
And for those wondering, no i didn't exercise ONCE during my cruise..
So, i need to hit the TM hard tomorrow.. i will probably drop back to week 4 - (has anyone taken 6 months to finish the C25K plan??
) But hey, i am back to being committed and refocused.. ( do you see a refocusing trend here?)
Anyway, i have LOTS to catch up on, didn't have my computer at all for vacation, so i will try to get on everyones journals this week..
Thanks!!
Have a wonderful cruise!
Sending lots of good weather
