Today has been a hard day for me. Clay got up before sunrise and snuck out for his walk. He decided it was too rough to walk on deck and went to the gym for a treadmill. It was crowded and he did not enjoy himself. It has been rougher than the 8 foot seas would indicate. They can't keep the water in the pool again. It has been rough enough that I've been taking extra medication to keep in front of seasickness yet I've have a headache that starts it since last night. In other news, something happened to hurt my tremor/fisting right foot yesterday. It feels like someone's driven a nail through my foot right where the middle toe starts. Clay says that is a Morton's neuroma and I'm just screwed. Yeah, I pretty much already got the you're screwed memo.
Clay after his ill-fated walk decision has had a perfect day. He ate his biggest lunch to date of BBQ ribs, corn on the cob, french fries and Ben & Jerry's chocolate peanut butter ice cream. That is his known "usual" at the Scoop Shop! The morning's cloud and drizzle burned off and as it has gotten cooler the further we get from the Equator is rather pleasant out. Clay is basking in the magnificent expanses of the Pacific on our balcony. I am hoping for calmer seas.
Tonight is formal wear. After a few days with no menus posted on line for us, today they are back. There was nothing, not one dish, listed that sounded good to either of us. And we have to dress up!
We seen today's popcorn movie, "Allied", a few times so didn't go.
We tender to our first port in New Zealand on Sunday. We've been to Bay of Islands before and we've done everything important there. Since it is a tender port, we've made no plans and planned to wing it. Hopefully my right foot won't be so painful by then. I am keeping it elevated and staying off the stairs until it improves. We'll see.
