and some day the bear eats you.  That is how I am feeling tonight.  This has been a busy week for me at work and at home.  Jen, Samantha and I have been doing cleaning at our new house and painting Jen's bedroom as well.  On those days where we stay late at Friday Harbor and take the 10 PM boat back to Orcas our day goes like this:

5:15 am  Wake-up and, Buddha willing, get out of bed and take a shower.  With one shower for four people it's best to be the first one in the stall.  If one likes hot water or even luke-warm water, that is.
6:00 am Start getting the three other people up and watch the show as they position themselves for the shower.
7:00 am Leave the house and drive to the ferry landing some 8 miles away.
7:20 am Purchase coffee and tea.  Maybe a scone or muffin or banana.  Never the bacon, cheese croissant.  Never.
7:35 am Ferry leaves the dock, hopefully we are all on the boat.
8:20 am Walk off the ferry boat and walk across town to our various works, except Sarah who works across the street from the ferry landing.
12:30 pm Lunch time
5:00 Work over.  Play the theme song to the "Flintstones" cartoon show
5:30 pm Run for 45 minutes with out having to curse the Mother of All Hills (See, there is a Buddha!)
6:30 pm Paint, clean etc at new house.
9:00 pm Drive and wait for ferry to arrive and load.
10:00 pm Ferry leaves the dock for Orcas.  Hopefully we didn't fall asleep in the car waiting for the boat.
10:35 pm Arrive on Orcas.  Wake-up.  Samantha will drive us home
11:00 pm Fall into bed, counting many blessings and fall to sleep.

5:15 am  Repeat

Our plan is to have everything ready so we can make the move over to Friday Harbor this weekend.  May the blessing of the Buddha be on us.
