A Day of Grand Blessings (mostly)

I've told you a little of the greatest roommate ever - Lisa! Her coolness and lovliness and greatness factor rose about 800% today as she did one of the kindest things for me. In Germany we load a lot of cargo onto the ship and my bedding, which i think i'd mentioned before, was waiting to be loaded in a warehouse AND GRAND LISA found it ahead of time and brought it to our cabin. This was purely out of the kindness of her heart b/c she knew how much i yearned for it - my pillow, my comforter, my sheets, my towels, my winter coat, a huge bag of M&Ms, and some other essentials. If she hadn't gotten it early (she works in medical and they were loading their medical supplies) I would have had to wait a week or more - which wouldn't have been horrible, but it was the best thing ever for her to bring it. and it wasn't easy - the thing weighs over 60 pounds, our friend Ed helped her - his greatness factor also increased today. so that was really really happy. probably the happiest thing.

another happy thing - mail came today, and many of you wrote me letters :-) and sent packages - i love you! thank you!

 the (mostly) added to the title is b/c my grand roomie, Lisa, told me today, she's moving out into a two-man cabin. (tear) We are very compatible roommates and she's super fun, so i'm sad to see her go, but do think it's a good idea for her. The room she's moving into will be more quiet, only two people - nice, the girl who asked her really wants her to live there, and some other pros that she told me, but i forgot the rest. so it's a good thing, but it kinda put a small damper on my most fabulous day. oh well. now melissa and i have the opportunity to ask someone else into our cabin, so we'll have to ponder and make a wise choice or leave it up to chance with HR . . . ship life is so unique. emily:-)
