Today was a day where RQS and I stayed in bed until it was almost afternoon. And neither of us felt bad about it. I'm still getting used to the idea that I will be resigning my job, and finally retiring. I feel both sad and glad that I am doing this, as it was precipitated by an event that I should have been able to prevent before it occured.
RQS sensed my sadness, and was a great comfort to me while we spent the day doing nothing except making breakfast and doing the laundry. All too soon, we had to get dressed, so I could take her to the station for her trip home.
Now, before I go on too much about how close we've become in the past few months, I have to say something about her cats. They are not used to her being away as much as RQS has been lately, and they pounce on her whenever she gets home. Although she will have friends stopping by to feed the cats when we go on our cruise together, I can only imagine how they will react after 10 days of her absence.
So far, RQS are getting so comfortable with each other that we are already looking at doing another cruise next year - specifically, the Panama Canal cruise I've been planning on for 2023. She worries about her cats, but we'll see how they react after this cruise. Since I'm going to be in Hawaii later this year, she's thinking of taking a cruise by herself while I'm away. Could I have gotten her hooked on a way of taking inexpensive vacations? I hope so, as I want her to be comfortable on the next few "bucket list" cruises I plan to take.
