Finally! Something to blog about again. That’s the problem with being me.. nothing to talk about. As has been my wont, I will be chronicling my cruising adventure. (Is that a real sentence?)

I loaded up Windows Live Writer.. linked it to my blog.. and away we go.

This Friday, I will be embarking on a daring adventure.. I will be flying to Florida on the day of the cruise instead of giving myself an extra day padding. This is mainly because I was feeling to cheap to spring for a hotel room this time. I will be jetting on Jet Blue to beautiful Fort Lauderdale where I will be boarding the Carnival Cruise Ship Miracle for 8 fun filled days. We will be visiting St. Marten, St. Lucia and St. Kitts. Feel free to follow my adventures as I drink and sleep my way  through the Caribbean.

Have you ever seen that cruise commercial where they show the family going to all those great locations and he is sleeping.. just napping away… LOVE IT!

I think I’ll end this on that note and the next entry should be from Florida on Friday.

Good news, my father is doing fine. He had a cat scan and an MRI and I guess everything checked out good. According to my mother, the doctors said it was probably an inner ear thingy  (I’m paraphrasing here) that messed up his equilibrium causing the vertigo, dizziness and upchucking.  He is going to be checked out by his regular doctor and he’s going to see a neurologist. For now he is doing good and has been feeling fine all day. Yay!

Long day today, but it will be worth it in my check. Just finished my workout and you can get those details here at My Power 90 Journey

Just finished my workout. It was weight day. Was feeling a little sore today but that didn’t stop me. You can keep up with My Power 90 Journey by clicking on that link there.

I just got a call from my Mother about an hour ago. It seems my father was feeling dizzy and then got sick. My brother and mother took him to the hospital. All reports say he is doing fine now and is doing some tests and the doctors are treating the symptoms. When they know more, I’ll know more. It should be an interesting evening.

That’s 2 in a row baby.. let’s see if I can keep it up.. Details of what I’m doing is at My Power 90 Journey. Check it out and help keep me motivated.

It was a rough start today but I started working out again. completed day 1 of Power 90. I created a separate blog for this and will be updating it daily. just go to http://workout.ormonster.com. The link will also be  on the right. Here’s hoping I can keep this going this time.

Well this has been an interesting couple of days. Before going to bed Sunday night I was at the door cursing out Sophie (my calico cat) because she was keeping me from going to bed by not coming home at a reasonable time from her gallivanting around the neighborhood. She is most definitly an outdoor cat.. She’s very friendly, loves hanging out with the other neighborhood cats and doesn’t mind being petted by complete strangers. She also always comes home (just not always at a conveniant time).

Anyways.. I had to go to bed so I walked away from the door while swinging it closed and turned out the lights. Apparently it was a weak swing because the door didn’t latch and sometime in the wee hours of Monday morning my tuxedo cat Luke got a little too curious for his own good and got outside. Let me tell you a little bit about Luke. He is a scaredy-cat. Luke does not like strange people and will hide from someone he doesn’t know at the drop of a hat. Luke also does not like to be picked up and will fight tooth and claws to avoid this. I may still have a scar from the last vet visit. Luke is an indoor cat and the thought of trying to find him when he is lost and scared was a daunting thought. To be honest I thought I wasn’t going to see the fool again.

I got home from work Monday afternoon and started looking around. The way Luke could and would hide, even from me, I knew I was fighting a losing battle. I went out every couple of hours and found nothing. There was a possible sighting from my neighbor around 9pm but a search turned up zip. At 11:30 I had to go to bed. I decided to leave the door open which Sophie loved and hit the sack. Nature woke me up around 3:30am. I got up and noticed a little dark shape on my bedroom doorway. I switched on the light and instead of a rabid raccoon that wandered in my open front door it was Luke safe and sound. I ran and shut the damn door, took care of the whole nature business that woke me up and went back to sleep for a couple hours relieved that the stupid cat found his dumb-ass home again.

The End
