We moved aboard yesterday! Holy cow it actually happened. As we were moving aboard, we both had some ‘WTF are we doing with our lives’ moments. Three weeks ago, while at a family reunion, I (Kathleen) herniated and extruded my L5-S1 disc severely enough to have motor weakness in my leg. On July 29^th I had back surgery to remove the extruded fragments and while the pain is so much better, I’m still numb, weak, and having occasional cramping. We spent the last week in a hotel (our house was set to close on the 2^nd of August – also Wren’s 8^th birthday!), and the morning we were to leave our hotel, the hotel flooded! On the drive to the marina, the person who was taking our cat Mini fell through. I mean, Mini really is the best cat ever and we don’t mind having her aboard, but it was yet another “Wha???” moment. That combined with the sheer fact that we were trying to cram everything aboard a boat led to some not-so-excited moods. Sleep has proved elusive due to Mantis (the cat) crying all night. Also, Lily (the dog) went for an unauthorized swim day 1. On the bright side, Chris is happy that the water line has only dropped ‘about an inch’.
