Today has been a very pleasant day. It is interesting that it comes at a time when I am seriously considering cancelling our May cruise. As I think about it, I don’t see that Kate is enjoying the cruise sufficiently for me to go through what it takes to have a successful trip. I find that I have to constantly keep her in mind all the time. This, of course, is not different than at home. The difference is that I have to coordinate going up and down stairs, ordering meals, handling conversations, seeing that she is properly dressed, and that her hair is combed, clothes cleaned etc. All of these things are simpler at home. I would hesitate to do all that is necessary if I were convinced she is getting sufficient pleasure out of the trip. It is clear that she says she is enjoying the trip, but she seems to get the most pleasure out of resting in our room.
She has had a pretty full day today. We got her something to eat around 9:15. We went to a movie at 10:00. We went to lunch after the movie. After lunch she wanted to rest. About 15 minutes after she got in bed, I discovered that she had a Swedish massage scheduled for 1:30. I got her up for that. She finished around 3:00. She was thirsty; so we went to the Lido for something to drink. Then it was back to our room where she got into bed. She just woke up and is on the iPad now. In another hour, we will go to dinner.
