Feeling Better

We woke this morning to a beautiful sunrise, but it is a cold, blustery day.

A 20-knot wind from due north is blowing the tops off the waves as they break. Real Feel just 33 degrees. Yikes! The high today is forecast to be just 50 degrees.

I started imagining that the cold weather from the north was catching up with me…that by delaying a week, I had let winter catch me. Fortunately, the forecast tells me that by Friday – the day we leave – the high will be 70, and the wind will be from the east at just 5 knots. Ahhhh.

I slept for 11 hours last night, and I awoke pain-free for the first time in a long time. I feel like I am about 93%. I’ll probably never really be 100% again – I’m just too damn old. So 93% is pretty good.

I have a few tasks to do before we leave – mainly wash the boat and wash the dog. But it’s too cold right now to do either. Tomorrow will serve.

Sooo…absolutely no agenda for today but to rest and heal. Maybe do some planning and some re-provisioning. Then self-medication with a cigar and a glass of Jamesons. The high point of my day. Maybe I’ll start now…Not a bad idea. It’s 5PM in Lithuania.

OK, maybe not such a good idea…maybe I’ll just read instead.

The marinas we visit usually have a swap-and-read library shelf, and I picked up Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Never read it before. I think it will be a good introduction to Savannah, and great way to spend a day.

[And for those of you who asked, Yes, I had a flu shot before I left.]
