I want to have a hot frothy beverage like everyone else.

I know I don’t have to talk to you about my dairy issues, what happens if I get a touch of dairy, moving on.

Starbucks came out with coconut milk and I was so excited because now I can have coconut milk lattes with hot tea, yum! Now…being on this special diet, based on my fructose intolerance, no coconut milk, boo.

So…Dunkin Donuts, my second choice, has almond milk, wahoo! But…unlike Starbucks, they do not have separate steamers, one for milk, one for non-dairy. Starbucks even has a separate one for soy milk and another for coconut milk. I have only been to one Dunkin that had a separate steamer, it was great.

I walked into a Dunkin Donuts today ready to get an almond milk with decaf tea and I asked if they had a separate steam because I am highly allergic to milk. She was standing in front of the sign that said “Please let your server know if you have any food allergies”. Well, I told the woman behind the counter, she said, “I only have one steamer, everything goes into it”.

What’s with the sign? If I tell you that I am allergic to something, do you plan on giving it to me anyway? Not nice! Doesn’t really follow the “Good Customer Service” motto, now does it? I started writing to Dunkin Donuts, but I think I’ll call tomorrow.

I know I can make this stuff at home, warm up the “milk” in the microwave, but it’s not the same, I want it steamy, hot and frothy, can’t do that at home unless I get an espresso maker.

Who’s with me? I want my frothy drink just like everyone else!

As we know, big boat travel is not for me. Yup, not for me.

Friday, we took the Fast Ferry to Provincetown, it was ugly, let’s leave it at that. Monday, the waters were not supposed to be as bad, so we decided to take a chance on the ferry back to Boston.

I had forgotten my bonine and bracelets back at the hotel, a mistake I am not likely to make again, so we bought some Dramamine and bracelets. About an hour before we set sail, I took two Dramamine, so far so good. We took off and about thirty minutes later, another pill. It seemed to do the trick, I made it with only one trip to the head, relief only, thank goodness!

I was able to nod in and out and made it to shore, back to the hotel, talk to you and get some sleep.

I woke up, had a session with CG, the personal trainer, but I was so tired, I came back to the room and took a nap. I got up an hour later, went to work and was in a fog all day, the effects of the Dramamine were still doing their thing, and apparently, I don’t react well to it. It was like walking through fog or soup all day, it’s not a good feeling.

I went back to the hotel about 4:00, got a little work done and I was asleep by 5pm, waking up to check my messages and say hello to you and now I am crashing out again.

No more Dramamine! No more sea sick, help!
