Houseboat life continues to be lovely, the lake is melting and break-up is on its way.
Houseboating is also lot of work, however. I’ve been finding it hard to stay on top of it, in part due to a complete lack of routine in my life right now. I’d enjoy it a lot more if I had a bit more financial stability too. It sounds funny considering how much I love traveling with nothing in my pocket, but I’ve learned that if I have rent to pay and a grounded (or, um, anchored) home I really like knowing that certain things are taken care of. Otherwise it’s a big drain energetically speaking, even if I’m not conscious of it all the time. It’s really too bad, because in a slightly different situation I’d be thriving on this, but right now things are just too chaotic for me to really get into it.
That said, soon it will be breakup and paddling can begin. I’m a bit heartbroken that I’m going to leave just as the weather gets nice, but I’m going to make up for it by getting a kayak as soon as possible and spending as much time as I can on the lake.
Also, SHOWS! I’m playing quite a few of them lately, including one at The Dunk in PEI. It’s a little bit random, but I was convinced that I needed to go back to the Maritimes in May so I can experience this magical land of PEI, so I am going to go. It sounds like the PEI part of the trip is going to be filled with all kinds of awesome, and I really can’t wait to see my parents in Nova Scotia too, even if it is a short visit.
