Ahhh
I've had a hot shower and washed my hair. The power, water and TV are on and life is settling into it's new reality with a few of the basic comforts. Our houseboat got shaken like a vodka martini so there is some chaos to be had, butno major damage. All the termite beads got shaken loose and sprinkled over everything, so it's nice to be able to vacuum again. The termites were evicted with a tenting last year, but they didn't pack their bags when they left.
At one point I saw five little round pearls on my bedroom carpet. "What's this?" I thought, filing through my memory cache for misplaced necklaces. Picking them up, I realized I had four perfect lizard eggs and one hatched shell that must have tumbled from their hiding place. i consider this a sign of good luck.
