Hey All! I meant to write before I left to go on my week-long houseboat vacation at Lake Shasta, but I just didn't have time! I was very busy.
Overall, the vacation was a lot of fun. I was a little bit skiddish at first because I was afraid of getting seasick, but after I slept okay the first night, it was okay. We had a blast playing in the water, jet skiing, boating, tubing, water skiing, etc. I got a lovely tan, too, and that makes me really happy. Everything was great and I even had a triumph while I was on this trip, that in away eventually turned into a pitfall... but anyways... my triumph was that there was a lot of people on this houseboat... at one point there were 18 of us sleeping on it. I knew everyone though, so I didn't have a problem with that. But one of the people was a 2 year old girl. She was so cute. But one day she was in the hot tub that was on top of the houseboat (that was filled with lake water, chemicals and people) and she was drinking the water andI didn't know about that. Then we were downstairs playing a game in the kitchen, and she and her mom were cooking, and suddenly she just got so sick from drinking all the nasty water... she was so sick and couldn't stop! At first I was really disgusted, and I wanted to run away, but then I thought that she was only 2 and if I freaked out, it would have made her feel worse. So I sat through it. Listening!! I didn't even cover my ears or eyes or anything! And then when it was all done, I felt fine... a little bit fazed, but I wasn't sick feeling or anything. So I was pretty proud of myself!But anyway, the last two nights I was on the boat, my anxiety about people v*ing got so bad that I was having trouble socializing and sleeping. Everyone there was getting so sloppy drunk that I was afraid someone would V. So my last two nights weren't all that fun since I was feeling pretty sick myself. No one did V, so I kind of feel like I wasted two nights of having fun to my stupid fear and stomach. Oh well. I am glad to be home now, although, I do feel kind of weird because I have my sea legs and so now that I'm not on the boat, it feels like I am, I feel like I'm rocking back and forth. Its annoying, but oh well. Anyone have a cure for that feeling???
