Cold Feet

[Marlene A. Sassaman]

Oh dear, with this dern cold lingering another day my feet are awful chilly. Is it because of the reality of how incapacatated one becomes when hit with flu like symptoms. Just like seasickness that quesy stomach, accompanied with a weird headache and inability to keep food or drink flowing through the digestive tract took control of me yesterday. I was able to function, albiet laborously with the cold symptoms. When my stomach got quesy though, my ability to focus on reading, watching tv or even talking on the phone became blurred and intolerable. So, what happens when I set out across the sea alone and seasickness rears its ugly head.

 

My husband warned me about this but I poo-poo his notion saying I would find a cure. Now, faced with the committment to buy a boat I think will meet my needs my cold feet are shivering beneath my chicken legs. Please tell me there is a cure for seasickness. I need a remedy that won't put me to sleep.

 

Also, assistance with negotiating a good deal would be helpful. I only found one flaw with the boat that I believe is fixable. The other challenge is the cost of bringing the boat from Central America to Florida. There is a broker involved for the seller and I mentioned to him today that I would be ready to negotiate tomorrow (I'm still not feeling well today and want to be at my best when we start discussing the big bucks.

 

In the meantime, I'll research seasickness cures, best skills for negotiation, and put a blanket around my toes to warm them up!
