a little bit sick

So, I did end up getting sick today. Nasty nasty cold. I went to the medical centre and they wanted to quarantine me (you have to go into quarantine if your temperature is over 37 – and mine was 37.4) but somehow I got out of it. Fortunately today was a port day and I am on “pull back” meaning I had most of the day off. So I slept all day rather than going ashore, and I feel much better now.
Tonight we have the captains circle party – so we are in formalwear (again), then I have the newlyweds gameshow, and finally It is pub night.
For pub night, I am inexplicably required to dress up as lorena bobbit (aka woman who cut off her husband’s penis) and carry a giant pair of scissors! Mark and I spent a good 45 minutes this afternoon blowing up 24 balloons three times each (to make them strecchy) and then tieing them off really close to the end – these are prank balloons, which passengers will be told to sit on to burst tonight- and of course, will not burst because we made them stretchy.
Pub night is a BIG night for us – and apparently I wont get to sleep until 1:30
