Began on an upbeat as Audrey is eager to visit with us and hear about our trip. We’re stopping by her office on our way to airport, so we're leaving home early.
I am amazed at how many friends worried because I had not posted anything, but each decided that as no dire news was aired about the ship, my disappearance from the ether meant I had internet issues, not life-threatening ones. I am humbled.
Mary Todd wouldn’t crank. Chris from AAA came, jump started us. We headed to Autonation after a phone call to Tammy, who fabulous person that she is, got us on the road with a new battery in under 45 minutes! She did point out that I had gotten my money’s worth as it was the original battery in my 2015 car. We cancelled meeting Audrey and delivered Barbara to JAX on time!!!
Mary Todd watched over us, as is her wont; she had her battery die at home in the garage and NOT in the Park and Go in Ft. Lauderdale on Easter Sunday! What a keeper!
It’s weird how after a battery replacement, I am almost hesitant to crank Mary Todd, just in case!
I spent the remainder of the day posting to the blog (it’s going to take several days to catch up), unpacking, doing laundry and getting back to normal life, like grocery shopping and responding to numerous emails and messages.
The cruise already seems like a distant dream.
But I won't be home for long - May 14 I meet Barbara at Logan Airport to play tourist in Boston and its environs before heading to Cape Cod for a week. It's wonderful having a friend who wants to see where you grew up. Though I hesitated when she asked if I wanted to drive because I knew the area - I had to remind her I've haven't been to New England (except for one port call afternoon during a 2016 Queen Mary 2 cruise) since Mom and Dad left Danvers for North Carolina 30 years ago! I expect to be as much a tourist as she.
Random thought for this day – Can you be in a rut if, despite doing the same things in a routine, you wake up every morning happy and ready to see what happens?
