After having several bouts of dizziness and profuse sweating I went to a Dr. for a physical, which should have been done before moving on the boat (no body is going to call me fast). It appears to be an inner ear issue which does not surprise me at all with all. Our systems have been given a challenge as well as our bodies.
Weight is good ( not in my eyes. . or should I say Papa's. . he still has visions of me in the crow's nest on look out duty in a bikin. . .we don't have crow's nest nor do I have a bikini), BMI good and again muscles where I did not know you could have muscles. This will only improve as sailing weather arrives. I do need blood work done however I have that done faithfully every year as well as a mammogram, the tricky one will be a colonoscopy(sp). . the prep will be tricky with the bath house being a walk and not somewhere I want to be for a long period of time with others using it also. . .this will take some planning.
As for Adventuress, her electrical system needed upgrading which was done yesterday and I blew it our this morning. When the hot water heater kicks in and I have both heaters going plus the coffee maker something has to go. . . in my case it all goes out. Papa had to make a trip from DC to check it out. . . remedy. . . turn the hot water heater off! I am learning.
I also learned never to let him tackle a job such as re wiring with out me being there to move everything in his path. I am surprised my blood pressure was not sky high. Another challenge facing us is condensation in the Captains bunk, the cushion is soaked on the bottom, I turned it on it's side with the fan blowing on it and Fabreezed the heck out of it. We know there is a little leakage in that area that will be tackled in the spring.
All in all , Adventuress and I are healthy and look forward to Spring. I am planning a trip to see Puxatawny Phil to explain the wonderful benefits of seeing his shadow and over come the urge to hide for 6 more weeks.
I wish everyone a warm and speedy February!
