My Mom used Vicks and I have too.  Great recommendation. 😊  After 2 full days of antibiotic Ear is much better, just cannot sleep on that side yet.

What’s the saying?  Something like “Saltwater cures everything!”  Or maybe I just saw that on a T Shirt 😂

@George C  Sorry to hear about your friend's health news.  Hoping for the best for him.

How is your cruise going, Debbie?  Happy to hear that your ear is much better!🥰

Your manicure looks great!  I have to get on that for my cruise!😉  Perhaps tomorrow....

Well the pulmonologist isnt going to work out. I need to find out why I'm coughing all night and what's wrong with me. He cant see me until sometime in May for new patients. 

 

I cant wait over 2 months to find out what to do to stop coughing. Contacting my overly busy gp again. Idk why he couldn't run a test when I fasted and went to his office and gave blood in the first place.  Don't they have tests for this kind of stuff?

 

Making progress otherwise. We are closed on the new condo, called fpl, saw the tax guy to get things started.

I had coughing fits that caused me to pass out a decade or so ago , they had me see Allergy doctor and I got shots , that did stop my coughing.

The only product that I have ever used for coughs that really works is Buckley’s Original Cough Syrup.It is manufactured in Canada and not sold in US pharmacies but is available on Amazon.

The last time I was in Canada I bought several because they had expiration dates for three years from the date I was in the store.

Have you had a steroid shot? (Sometimes I purposely go after hours to an urgent care and get good help. They are used to treating whatever "crud" is going around.

The urgent care around here wouldn't take medicare or over age 65. We went to 2 different chains before and they said they wouldn't even take cash, no one over 65. Have to go to emergency if over age 65. 

 

Florida can only be better than here. Even the skin doctor I am seeing her assistant. Took me over a year to see her before. Waited 6 months and she cancelled to move furniture and had to wait another 6 months, so I'm being checked by a assistant. Not a doctor.

 

I sent message to gp on my chart. Waiting for response.

Are you coughing all day long too or just at night?  If it is just at night, there could be something in your bedroom that you are reacting to.  Have you tried a humidifier?  Have you brought something into your bathroom that wasn't there before?  If it is a productive cough or a dry cough?  I have had lung issues my whole life and can sound like a seal on a good day.

Love all the pictures, especially the orchid ones. Hope you’re having/had a great cruise.

I thought of you when I took the pictures.  They had a whole area of them

Our cabin on VV Scarlet Lady. The cabin is fine, but the stool at the desk has no back rest. If you want a couch the furniture has to be reconfigured out of the beds.

Very different vibe from Royal.  Very modern.  Not sure I could get out of that hammock once I got in.

I am sure the struggle is real but for me that  hammock was my happy place ❤️ (as well as the on board restaurants)

Neither the chair in the cabin or those on the balcony look particularly comfortable. The balcony ones seem a lot like the ones on Allure which I really disliked. I think I prefer the cabin decor of Odyssey.

 

Please keep posting!

Kenzie was helping her mom with the tulips at their house today. 

 

She explained what she was doing. 

 

After picking some she thought they made a good flower bouquet but kept calling them a flower business. 🌼  😆 

Later her mom came to my garden and picked tulips. I let her use one of my beds.

Weather was perfect for sailaway yesterday.   We couldn't believe how warm and sunny it was.

Very foggy, cloudy and misty this morning.   

Went to the spa for manicure

I've never had one and don't go to spas. But when a foot is involved is it not a pedicure?

[DaniDanielle]

How cute is Kenzie!!!!!

Which one of you fine people would be willing to share your planning spreadsheet?

You are correct, OB!  I guess I've got too much on my mind this week! 😁    We leave next Monday for the Panama Canal cruise.
