Pati speaks up...

Beebee has severe stomach cramps today. She is shaking, disoriented, and feverish. Even though Pati and Beebee were able to walk almost 10 miles yesterday, Beebee could barely sit up today and was in no shape to walk to the ships infirmary. Pati called 911 -- and various other numbers -- and got a wheelchair to take Beebee to the doctor.

The doctor diagnosed gastritus and gave Beebee Tylenol for the fever, Bactrim for the gastritus, and loperamide for diarrhea (should that be necessary). Beebee is still in bed but seems to be getting better. The doctor thinks Beebee's lunch in Barcellona made her sick and she should be better in 24 hours.

Pati thought his doing the laundry might make Beebee feel a little better. Several of the washing machines have been broken and the rest have been busy. Pati found two available machines, returned to his room, and brought laundry and money for the washers. As Pati entered a couple ran in ans said "Two empty washers! We're taking them both! Let's go get the laundry and some money!!" Pati said that there were two washers and he had both his money and his laundry. The said "Sorry, sir, we haven't done laundry in 5 days and we need them." Pati suggested that this was unreasonable they should each take one machine. The couple refused and each physically blocked a washer. Pati asked if they thought they were the only persons on the ship gave a loud "What a pair of a$$hole$!" as he left. If they had touched Pati, he would have helped them into the machines.

Pati hopes karma is real. He also wishes he had thought to bring a box of RIT dye to help karma.

(Update: Pati is off his game. He left the laundry because the two a$$hole$ were blocking them. He later realized that since he had both his laundry and his laundry change and they had neither that at least one of them would need to leave to get their stuff. Pati could then have implemented his sharing plan. Dumb Pati :( )
