Into your sanctum you let them in. Now all your loved ones and all your kin

I'd like to assemble a rocking chair, but we'll see if we feel up to it. It would also be good to get this cling wrap on the bottom half of the back door, so Yoda can't see out, but that's probably going to be a pain in the ass. We shall see.
Yesterday was very busy, as my coworker who does the calls was out and everything came to me. Which is fine. It definitely makes the day faster. I had probably 7-9 emails for people to call, and most took 2 calls. I still did 41 calls for the day. It was busy.
Unfortunately, it looks like our friend isn't going to be able to go on the Alaskan cruise, so I've asked my sister, who shocked the hell out of us by saying yes. It means the dog is going to be boarded for 10 days, so I was not thinking that she'd go for it. But apparently, the videos we've been watching were too much. It'll mean adding an extra excursion, because she wants to pet the dogsled puppies, but I'm okay with that. We've already booked whale watching in Juneau, and then we're also planning to do the Whtie Pass Railway in Skagway. The musher camp is also in Skagway. Ketchikan, we're debating. There's a native program that's possible and the lumberjack show. But I'm' not sold on either. I'd be okay with just wandering around Creek Street and then going back to the boat. We'll see what everyone wants to do.
Amazingly, to add my sister to the room, it was only $600. Which is super cheap compared to the original fares. I guess we paid for the room, and then the add on is just to cover the cost of food.
We're going to fuck up some lovely food. Holland america is supposed to have some of the best cruise food, so I'm really looking forward to it.
We're considering two specialty dining experiences. One is the Pinnacle Grill for lunch. The second is Tamarind for dinner on one of the sea days or the glacier day.
I'm going to be blasphemous and say that the glaciers are cool, but I'm not super excited about seeing them. I mean, I may feel differently when confronted with the majesty of nature, but right now I'm just like "I get an extra day to prowl the ship? More Bossche Balls for me!"
Okay, I desperately need a shower before I start work, so I'm going to go do that. Everyone have an amazing Saturday!
