It's Wednesday! Halfway through the week! I'm very tired and would like to go back to bed. Normally, I wake up to take Rybelsus and then just doze until I get up, but today I fell asleep hard and since there was only about an hour until my alarm went off, it's left me somewhat woofly.

This upper respiratory bug has really been annoying the everliving shit out of me. I'm so sick of coughing and having a hoarse voice. It's slowly improving, I think? But yesterday I had a lot of coughing and a really raw throat. Thank goodness the PA gave me codeine for bedtime. I actually slept through most of the night without waking up coughing til I gag. I have no clue what I actually had. Random virus? Covid? Flu? RSV? Not a clue. None of the tests came back positive, but according to the PA, that's not unusual for this year's flu, which is where she was placing her bets. Whatever, it sucked.

My sister is only coughing once in a while now, and Jess is back to taking their daily walk, though still coughing some, so we're all getting there.

After the deliciousness of the Dungeness crabs, I went back and ordered more. They come tomorrow, so we'll be having a big ol' crab feast this week. They're coming tomorrow, so hopefully, we can do it on Friday or Saturday. They were just so delicious. I may like Dungeness more than lobster, though I need a side by side taste test. We've told the BIL that he can join us for the crab feast, of course. He's never had Dungeness, so I hope he likes it.

I sent him a couple of links of our hotels and ship, and he is currently freaking out at how expensive my choices are. lol He went to my sister and asked if she knew how expensive the Pan Pacific is!?! I will admit, it's pricey. Which I won't lie, it is. But I chose convenience over cost in this case. It sits on top of Canada Place, which is the cruise terminal, so going to the port is as simple as taking an elevator down. They will have a porter come and get our luggage the morning of the cruise and transfer the bags directly to the ship. Plus a breakfast buffet. A choice between that and getting an Uber and getting dropped outside, then having to go to the lower level to drop of our big bags, and back up to start embarcation? This sounded much simpler, and I don't care if the price is a bit steep. Plus, I got a pretty good deal. Also, it's a five star hotel! I've never stayed in a 5 star, so this should be fun.

Presumably the one on the way back is less objectionable, as it's only a 4 star and a lot less expensive.

He, my sister and Jess are basically travel princesses. (Gender neutral princess.) They're just going to show up where I tell them to, and enjoy the ride. I've got everything in my email and we're ready to go. I just booked dinner for the first night of the trip. It's a place across from the hotel called ARC. I hope it's as good as it's menu looked.

I'm debating on dinner tonight. Do I feel up to cooking a nice fried halibut? I've had the filets hanging out for weeks, so it might be time to make a battered fish. I have no fries, but I could put in a wee order and get some. Might be tasty. We shall see.

And on that note, I'm going to hop off and get myself together. Everyone have an outstanding Wednesday!
