Entry for November 23, 2006

I'm not even sure what day it is...I think it's Weds - No, Thursday. If I traveled Monday & got here Tuesday, yesterday was Weds, so today is Thursday. WOW! Thursday already!


So, I slept ok. I woke up once with cramps in my "breathe muscles". I've always had problems with them with my fibro. All the physical work yesterday aggrivated it, I'm sure. I popped a pain pill (it was about 5 o'clock or so and I figured if I couldn't get back to sleep, no harm). I happily fell back asleep.


So, I got up at 6am and got ready for work - headed out the door and promptly realized I had NO IDEA where the crew mess hall was! Stupid! I'd eaten there twice already. KNEW it was on the fifth deck, but...You had to go down the right way to get there or you'd NEVER find it...they don't make crew areas easy to find - on purpose!


So, after trying twice, I came back to my room and knocked on Oli's door right next door to mine. Luckily he was in! I didn't go aft far enough - I'll never forget! Off to breakfast - alone - Oh well.


Finished just in time and up to deck 14.


We finished removing the tile today - Oh boy! Today was a MESSY day! I had to wear a dust mask. I was covered from head to toe. Can't wear those clothes again without washing them! Ugh! The socks and underclothes are hanging on the clothesline in the shower; the jeans, t-shirt & long sleeved shirt are on the plastic on the floor outside the bathroom. I think tomorrow is laundry night.


It was actually HOT today. Go figure. Watching the weather last week, I wouldn't have guessed hot. But as soon as the sun went down...BRRRR!


We finally made it into Marseille today - late morning - no, early morning. It was dark out still apparently, because there's this castle on a mountain that is all lit up at night. I'm going to try to get a picture of it. The weather is kind of dreary moist...but by afternoon it got sunny.


Marseille isn't ANYTHING like I expected. There are a TON of mountains! And I don't see a city anywhere!


So, after we got all the tile out, we started mixing up the fairing (1:1 epoxy - 2 filler - 1 endo). This is what makes the floor level so when we lay our deck down, it doesn't wobble. I mixed the fairing. It was much more fun than a second day of cleaning up tile mess!


So, today I had Raisin Bran, cheese, hard boiled egg white, cranberry juice, coffee & pineapple for breakfast. For lunch I had salad with red wine vinegar dressing, cheese & a roll and french fries. Dinner was red beans & rice burritos, salad, cheese, roll (I only ate 1/2) and cranberry juice.


Amazing. I've had one dessert so far and I only ate 1/2 of it. They offer ice cream at all times, but I don't even have a desire...odd.


Worked 7a-7:30p today. It's 9:30p and I'm about to go take out my contacts. I'm beat.
