Barb's Burblings

Decompression

Highlights from the cruise:
--The mashed potatoes onboard
--Parasailing
--Spending time with Carrie, whom I don't see enough
--Kayaking from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean
--The strawberry daiquiri machine at Breezes
--Snorkeling, seeing a stingray and a fish with a remora
--Looking at the stars; there are a lot of them, particularly when you're in the middle of the ocean
--The towel animals made by our stateroom attendant
--Getting a hot stone massage
--Pretty pretty blue water

Right now, though, I'm trying to accept the fact that I have to go to work tomorrow. It's been almost two weeks since I was last there, and it feels much, much longer than that. A lot has happened--I've met loads of new people, seen lots of new places. It's kind of crazy that things need to go back to normal tomorrow. Work is going to be surreal.

And I'm trying to figure out why I'm so tired even after a week on a cruise (though it admittedly took me a while to stop thinking and start relaxing). This makes no sense.
