Quick stop

Just arrived to the port of Bari several hours after schedule. Supposedly those damn, lazy Italians are protesting about working or something. Dude, they don't work now!! Every port in Italy, half to more than half of the stores are closed at any given time. People are on holiday, napping, or just don't open up! Especially this city. It is a bigger city, all shops have been closed for the last month at least due to some holiday. Nothing is open...ever. So I am not getting off the ship today. I am really busy with work too. I am starting to treat higher up officers in the ship. That will eventually get me more patients as well. Right now I don't want more, I am running around with my head cut- off like a chicken. Cluck. Cluck. I have probably treated or talked to over a hundred patients already in just a few weeks. Crazy.

Yesterday I had a lazy day, had a facial, took a two hour nap in the middle of my work day. I also decorated my room. It is super nice now. I am now trying to get new carpet put in. I need to find the right people to get 'er done. So far I am not successful.

The other day I saw my first clouds in a long time, there was actual thunderstorm, it was nice to see lightening. The moon at night over the water with nothing else around is pretty breathtaking. I wish I could take pictures of everything I see and show you.

It has been nice, we have a good sports channel here on the ship and I have had non-stop coverage of the US Open, I have seen parts of every single match. BUT, it has to be the worst commentators ever!! It is for the English, so it is these two boring Brits who really have no clue about tennis. I usually watch with the volume turned off it is so bad, haha!

I think next week I am going to start trying to see some of the shows on the ship.

update on Dessert Picture Project: None taken, I forget my camera every single time, because I am so hungry. But still an average of two desserts per lunch and dinner, and still losing weight!!

Happy Labor Day.
