Where No Ann Has Gone Before: Star Trek Trek 2019

Just now · 

This vacation is seriously masolowian at the core: RAN non stop getting thing set up before leaving, for the pups, the house, the people, the money - aiming for not a stress landing when return... didn't get it all done but made a dammmmned good start ... but was up S 3/4/5 am for almost a month to get it done....

Now that I am in Florida I am finally having a second to think about being excited about the trip....

It's my first ever solo recreational travel - I have done lots of business travel and travel with people but never something like this just myself

but first things first on a budget and after the crazy stress of the last few month, starting, literally at base level:

Physiological Needs

shelter: obtained hotel, cruise cabin waiting - check
food: not in budget lol, but did one room service and found that the "free" hotel reception in the evening has snacks, and free margaritas and there is a breakfast included with hotel stay.... that looks to be really good, once on board cruise ship all food included and there are foods 24/7.... sustenance: check

water: drinking all the water to detox from all the prednisone it took to keep going hard enough and fast enough through flu season to get here.... alll the water, must drink, hoping to find water that doesn't kill me since I couldn't bring my well water

SLEEP - 3 naps in, one hot tub soak

Naps and Exercise: need the movement
setting goal of a nap everyday
hitting all my steps at the walking track on the ship
work out video or comparable group work out on the ship
hot tub 2/day
and setting up to keep walks and work out video up every day once home

AND dancing of some type every single day - from here forward in life even if it's only 15 minutes

Breathing: I am breathing - prednisone needed and the plane ride was brutal but lungs and nose working - I actually had another of those moments where I realized that back when I met patrick I literally wouldn't have been able to walk at the pace needed to get from one airline gate to another, or move my own bags, and although I am feeling my shoulders a bit, I got everything, even the big rollee suitcase all the way here with only the shuttle driver doing one lift into the shuttle

My basic survival meds: all here and accounted for. Hate the weird fat making steroid and puffer chin face, BUT I can live, breathe, move, function... my ego hates the prednisone, the organism is able to do the things

Need for Safety: I feel generally safe in the world. and Carrie Alonzo, Nathan Cole Patrick Colvin are holding down the puppy fort and we've done all the prep work to keep my puppers loved and living

Looks like the base layer for this trip is laying in for a good foundation.

Now, resuming nap.
