The day after tomorrow!!!
I will be leaving for the cruise! Isn’t that exciting? Only less than that forty eight hours before I’m on the cruise ship! I suppose I’ve used enough ! for the beginning of the post so let us move on to other news.
Today packing went on fairly well and since Mom just picked out what she liked and packed it there really wasn’t much of a “Discussion” Fortunately I will be packing my carry on and then… Well suffice it say I’m packing enough to last me for the cruise if necessary. Mom didn’t want me to bring the small suitcase so I’m stuffing everything into a backpack and a small bag. Which means that I will have a lot to cram into a small space so packing tomorrow should be interesting.
Oh, I don’t know yet if I have gone into great detail about my new Monopoly and Scrabble game for my cell phone. It is really fun! Today we were in the car and I made a slight blunder and asked my older brother John who is a Monopoly Monopoly(I don’t feel like being clear right now…) to play a game with me. I got out fairly early in the game and then John had to find out if he could beat the computer………………… Big mistake. About 11:00 I finally got my cell phone back. But it is very fun to pull out a small handheld device and instantly have a monopoly game or a scrabble game I am really going to enjoy it on the cruise.
I had an accident today. I was riding my bicycle and usually when I ride my bicycle I am busy thinking up an epic story line and it is easy tell whether it is a very exciting point or not because when things of importance and excitement are happening in the story I ride my bicycle really, really fast and I usually forget to pay attention to wear I am going. So today in the middle of a sword fight with the villain(Or maybe it was when the heroine was escaping the molten lava… I don’t remember) I was turning and I turned to hard and somehow banged my knee really badly. It still hurts a lot and it doesn’t like to be stood on. My adrenaline was rushing so much from the story that I kept on going for a bit but I did slow down because my knee hurt. I hope it gets better soon because it does hurt a bit still. However I am thankful that I didn’t get hurt as much as some of the characters in my stories, there is nothing like having an example of something worse to make you more content with your own lot.
So, just ONE MORE FULL DAY left until the cruise. Two nights though but those don’t take as long. I am not really looking forward to waking up very early Sunday morning to go to the airport but the cruise makes it worth it.
