I just called my doctor with symptoms of pink eye or conjunctivitis. Hopefully, I can get a prescription for antibiotic eye drops to help with the redness and itchiness. I realize it is quite contagious so I will be careful with any social contact, although I have a chiropractor appointment this morning and a play to attend this evening. People will probably just think I’m stoned. Sweat pouring into my eyes during this morning’s run was quite painful at times. 

I’m watching the season finale of Skinwalker Ranch as I write this today. It’s a show that has never captured my full attention with discussions about UFO’s and portals, an attempt to fill the Curse of Oak Island time slot on the History Channel. I am, however, intrigued with the upcoming Colosseum series. In the evenings, we started watching White Locus, an Emmy-nominated series on HBO that takes place at the Four Seasons at Wailea, Maui. The sights are very familiar having stayed in that area or at that hotel all these years.

In a few days, we make our excursion choices for the Alaska/Japan cruise. We’re thinking a wildlife/sightseeing boat in Kodiak, highlights of Hokkaido, and an Evening in Tokyo, outside the included tours. It will be a long journey, 25-days including a Tokyo extension, plus a week in Portland/Vancouver prior to stepping aboard. It also looks like there are a lot of required forms to fill out, particularly involving the Canadian government. Once I get over this Pink Eye it appears that my eyes will be bloodshot due to reading and completing all the necessary forms.
