I should have already returned from the grocery store, but I haven't even left the apartment yet. It's a beautiful sunny day with low humidity and just by looking out my window there aren't too many tourists jamming up the roads. I feel fantastic, but just have the same old problem I always do with getting my butt in gear. I've also been side tracked quite a bit by looking at boats for sale on line. The hubster and I have been boat shopping for ages, but it's starting to get serious now. Hopefully in about a year we will be living onboard whatever we decide to buy. Probably a fixer upper trawler in the 40 to 50 foot range. That's pretty small so I've got to get myself smaller in order to fit. Mr. 6'3" is going to take up too much space so Mrs. 5'7.5" is going to have to become littler. Not sure how that's going to happen since I don't happen to be Alice in Wonderland. I have a much more adventurous spirit than the Mr. I'll fly by the seat of my pants, but he needs quite a bit of security. Not to say he won't do some of the crazy stuff I want to do, but it takes considerable convincing from me. If it were up to me we would be living on a coffee plantation in Kona right now working and saving to go to New Zealand and work our way through the vineyards and orchards. I know these things won't happen without considerable cash in the bank so I spend too much time online dreaming. Sometimes I get him to let loose. I got him to go on a sailboat delivery down through the Caribbean islands stopping here and there along the way, move away from St Thomas and come to South Florida to work on yachts, which has become his career, and spend the summer working on the Yukon river between Canada and Alaska. Oh well, my life is pretty great as it is and I do have a wonderful man to share it with so really, no complaints.
Alright, enough of this rambling. I've got to get to the grocery store before I starve to death! Although, I might shrink just enough to fit comfortably on that boat if I put off food shopping for awhile.
What I'm grateful for today:
Having a life which is easier than so many other people on this crazy planet.
What I'm not grateful for today:
Having a life which is easier than so many other people and not doing anything to help anyone but myself which leads to massive guilt.
