The news : Noem is out at DHS! Mullen is in! Me : we’re talking the tRump administration. I won’t be surprised if Mullen is worse than Noem.

From the damned if you do, and damned if you don’t category, you can take a nap now, and hope you can sleep tonight, or you can stay awake now, and set an alarm for dark o’clock in the morning.

Ok. Laundry washed and dried. We have clothes for the rest of the trip. Go me!

And, we have rain. It won’t last.

Boat time is 9:52 in the morning. At home, it’s 4:52 in the morning. This explains why I am tired.

What day is it magic iPad? Thu Mar 5? Ok. I can go with Thursday.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Because the world sucks right now, here...

Outside, on the Aquavit Terrace. She's taking more sunset pictures. I get to stare into the sun.

The idiot in chief did what to Spain? A trade shutdown. Seriously? Like he couldn’t wait until AFTER we get to Barcelona to fly home. *head desk*

The BBQ party starts at 18:30 hours boat time. Boat time has become the only time I recognize. Until 18:00 hours,when I’m supposed to check on her, I have free time.

We reach the Trans Atlantic crossing point today,about noon. We'll be halfway across the ocean. Never thought I'd be doing this.

Awake at an early hour. Headache being dealt with (2 Tylenol). Getting practice for later this week.

When you go through your gmail address book and wonder, “does this person still exist?”

An interesting read. Still a way off. But they’re trying to find things that work.

My right ankle, knee, and hip are very tired, and aching as a result. They are tired from countering the motion of the boat.

Ack! The time zone changes again at 2 in the morning. When 2 becomes 3. Time to lose another hour of sleep. So far it’s worth it.

Walking on the boat is murder on my ankles and calves. Something about the ground moving.

Me, on the boat this morning, “What ha the idiot administration done now?”

And, tonight the time changes again. We are having our second “Daylight Savings Time” experience on the trip.

Marigot and Philipsburg are on the agenda today. Have never set foot on an island at the Eastern edge of the Caribbean. New experience, here we come!

Time zone changes hurt…

Wait. Wait. The time changed.I lost an hour of sleep last night.

I think I gained 10 pounds reading the dinner menu for Man Freddie's.

16 hours and counting down until the alarm goes off, and the chaos begins. Bring it.

That moment when you realize you are too tired. When you invent a new word. "I'm so short thoughted now that it's silly." Thoughted. Well. At least it's Englitch, so y'all can figure it out...

For some odd reason I'm kinda calm this morning.

In 45 minutes, I can start watching the Olympics coverage for the day. Want to watch ALL the skating. Deliberately not watching the skating on Youtube. Gotta watch it with her. Wish I could have watched it live.

AIEEE! Breathe, human. Breathe.
