This cold, throat, cough thing is making life fairly miserable...but I met a woman this morning at choir who is still suffering with it at the week three point. She said she's taking Benedryl every four hours. If I did that I'd never see the outside of my cabin. Choir director asked if I planned to be at the presentation right before Sydney. I told her I planned to be there but I'm not sure if my voice will show up!
I felt pretty lousy all day, but J and I did manage to play a game of Scrabble and I'm sad to report that although I was winning right up to the last two words or so, he managed to beat me by just a few points by going out first with a nice little word on a triple word score. There will be a rematch.
For my sister doulas I forgot to mention that in Kauai there is a Birth Stone, that is a huge rock, that, by legend was used by mothers to lean on when they needed to push the royal, or not so royal, babies into the world. Our guide told us that when the mothers used the stone they felt no pain! I am skeptical. He couldn't exactly when this was practiced...only used the word prehistoric...which makes me more skeptical!
Tahiti tomorrow!
