I am prepping through out the day creating paper snowflakes to hang around the ship. There I feel like the world is filled with wonder and friends that do understand. A beautiful boat created by us here at DS . At first we started the cruises with DarkGypsy's glitter sub. It swung the oceans and the universe. Equipped well by Scotty with warp drive....and of course the magic...

Then Lily found a boat and of was instilled with magic that can create that peaceful place that we are told to find to promote relaxation and just to breath. If you want for anything or special comforts , you need only blink blink and Calypso provides it.
We play relax and share what makes us feel better...together.
There is also a van for on the road excursions The Violet Vanguard, parking is never a problem! And it is there with just a blink at our disposal, shopping the Magnificent mile or just a shoreline shell collecting day trip...use it as you wish.

...as many here know I have to do art.
I am surprised at the body of work that has come out of my time on Calypso, shared with you here, my friends.
hugs, read, play and enjoy our own place that we know.

If the work issues were not enough, I have so many health issues. It looks like I may have a heart problem. I'm scheduled to go in the operating room at the end of the month to determine once and for all if I have what is called a PFO-a small hole in the heart that you are born with that causes blood clots to pass through the left and right atria, and go up to the brain. They think this is what...
Big squishy hug
Let's Celebrate!!!!

It's a Calypso birthday party for our captain! heheh
Mojo the cheesecake sounded delicious. I made my dinner yesterday at my sister in law's house and set out a pick-up dinner for my daughter and family.We are now on social distancing from each other due to that virus.
She does dispatch for the company her husband trucks for. They were notified that some of their regular stops had employees that tested positive and 1 of their other drivers are under observation while two others are not feeling well. So the wait begins to sort this out while the truck keep rolling..
My youngest sister was the first call I received at 4:16 am and that started the day for me. I was up so did some check ins with a couple friend by video chat. Then went shopping before the crowds to get ingredients and supplies that I had not yet picked up due to stock depletion. The Galley menu was mostly correct to what I cooked. The cake I bought was decadent and I sent half to my daughter's family. Without the added ambiance of a sit down restaurant it's really not worth the cost of take out, I cook as well or better than most, with leftovers.
I woke to catch the sunrise today. Grateful for all the points of light that thought of me.

A utopia um por todos e todos por um"
"It revived
A utopia of one for all and all for one"
Like California dreaming, Brazilian dreaming.......

When I went back to Uruguay as the dictatorship that gave my PTSD was falling I ran into a Uruguayan musician who writes similar music. His name is Jaime Roos, and he soothed my soul, too, with this great song about returning from exile.
"Retirada" by Jaime Roos

It says "Recordaron sus labios/La diferencia/Del gusto del café/El mundo es uno solo/Y las nostalgias/Espejismo nomás" which means,
"His lips remembered the different flavor of coffee there. But the world is one, and nostalgia is just an illusion."
The video actually shows the sad ride to the Montevideo airport in Uruguay and getting on the plane having to leave. It really speaks for me.

To blend in with the Brazilian theme above, here they are singing "Start Me Up" on Copacabana beach in Brazil in 2006. The Brazilian response is awesome.

I just bought myself a Rolling Stones t-shirt in Mexico last week before coming back, a t-shirt with that famous lips and tongue logo on it. :-)
I is hard even for me to keep this social distancing thing in perspective. I get kind of "All or Nothing" in my thinking. Yes we are allowed a talk with our neighbors, but from each persons front sidewalk. But I couldn't make myself do that even in the sun the last two days. Then my sister called and needed a visit. She and her husband are disabled at the moment. So I bathed put on a clean layer of everything and went to see her. We didn't hug or touch as would be usual for us. But we watched an old episode of the Virginian and caught up.
Anyway my day is still starting early thanks to my dog.
I have to go out to pick up him a new leash later,the other just wore out.

What got me through was the old classic "All Along The Watchtower" that Bob Dylan wrote but Jimi Hendrix made famous. That line "there must be some kind of way out of here/said the joker to the thief" has gained new meaning for me.
