Whew! What a long day. Nothing quite like doing your regular week's work, then trying your best to line up as much as you can for the following week for the co-worker who'll be filling in for you while you're away.
I got home at 10, packed until 11, wolfed down some leftovers and washed it down with a beer, then came downstairs to download a preview of what I'll be seeing tomorrow, as our ferry boat pulls into Orcas Village. Such a welcome sight after several hours of travel -- five hours by car and another hour-plus on the ferry from Anacortes, with stops at Shaw and Lopez Island.
Once we pull our car onto the dock at Orcas, it's 45 minutes to our cabin, where I plan to chill as much as I can. The past two days were gorgeously sunny. Don't know that I can expect more of the same on the island, but I can always hope for it. We'll be away for a week and Nathan will be house-sitting for us. Otto gets to come along but the cats will have to fend for themselves.
I'm ready as I've ever been for Island Time.
