Carnival Breeze 2022 – Time to make the lists.

With 4 weeks to go, I have decided it is time to make the lists for this cruise. I will primarily be focusing on clothes and maybe shoes. But I will also include my excessive first aid kit. So lets get started.

Since my first aid kit seems to have more on it than the clothes I will be taking, lets start with it.

I know the list is long but in these times, I want to be prepared for anything and everything including taking a lot of face masks!

I do have a small first aid kit I keep in my purse, but it is very basic.

Now for the clothes. For every cruise I go on, I will make a chart of the days on the cruise and what will be going on those days. This year, I decided to use my handy dandy Plum Planner.

First, I wrote on each day what would be going on. This gives me an idea of what I will wear on that day.

On the opposite page, I wrote in pencil what I plan on wearing that day and evening.

Since I have written everything in pencil, it will be easy to change in my planner should I change my mind about something. And believe me, I already have.

For some reason, when I was putting the clothes together, it appears that I will be taking a lot less clothes than I normally do. This makes my husband so excited. But since it is still early, there may or may not be any changes made to the list. I guess the only way to find out will be to come back for the packing blog which will be up closer to cruise time.

Thanks for reading!!!

Modified Keto day 10 plus 3 packages in the mail!!!

I must honest, today started out real rough.  I woke up with a migraine that did not go away until around 6 this evening.  I managed to drag myself out of bed around 10 and decided to fix myself something to eat.  Today’s breakfast consisted of bacon and eggs.  And yes, I did have my normal coffee intake. But, once again, no Starbucks.

The cruise countdown cheered me up but didn’t make the headache go away.  I wonder if the diet has anything to do with the headaches…

I did receive some packages in the mail today.  One from Baublebar, one from Michaels, and UPS delivered 2 Shutterfly orange envelopes.  Not only did I get the replacement photos that UPS conveniently misplaced last month, I also received the replacement photos that Shutterfly sent.  But since I still had a headache, I did not open the packages.

In the late afternoon, I started getting a little hungry so I had the last of the left over chicken stuff I made yesterday and I also had one hotdog that was sliced and stuffed with cheese then wrapped in bacon.  My beverage of choice after my morning coffee was unsweetened ice tea.

Once I started feeling better I started opening a couple of the boxes.  Up first was Baublebar.  Today’s package only contained one pair of earrings, the Fantasia Drop Earrings.  I just love them and I cannot wait to wear them on our cruise.  I also received the Lobe Wonder Ear Support patches I want to try and the Devonne Sunglasses in pink which was a gift with purchase. I truly love they way they package their products.

Then I opened the box from Michaels.  I could not wait to see the different colors of vinyl I ordered.  I’m even more excited to start playing with them on my Cricut Explore Air.  I have plans for some tumblers and now that I have all of the different colors of Vinyl that I want, I’m going to really start on the tumblers this week.  Maybe even tomorrow!!!  These are the colors I ordered:  light yellow, red, grape, azure, med blue, caribbean, and flamingo.  I’m just so excited!!!

Now about the Shutterfly orange envelope thingy’s…  It is obvious that the original one was damaged and so far, I have been afraid to open that envelope.  But, I won’t know the extent of things until I do.  It didn’t take much to open the original package and I was really afraid that the photos would be damaged but, to my surprise, there was nothing wrong with them!!!  I guess now I can organize these photos as well as the photos from our Carnival Triumph cruise and a trip to Galveston.  There are plenty of photos to do some large scrapbooks!!!

With the headache finally gone, I feel energized!  I think I will use this time to do something productive.  I just do not know which productive thing I want to do.  I think I will start with the photos so they do not get messed up!
