Ready or not, we're off this morning at 6am. Three kids are very excited.
I haven't pooped myself yet today. I'll call that a win. Taking care of me right now is a whole lot extra.
Sassy and Coco were very aware I was leaving and they were upset this morning. Sob.
Much to Jia and Luk's dismay, it appears that Kai is currently the tallest. Haha.
Oh, and Kai is getting sick. Sniffles and clearing his throat. Omg. A giant toddler that doesn't know how to use a tissue, in close quarters in a car for three days. It's enough to instill pure panic. Plus, will we even be able to get on the boat if any of us are sick?!
Also, there was another drive by shooting episode Tuesday in the wee hours on Day Road.
Update.
Our 7:45 ferry is cancelled. Mechanical issues.
Which means our reservation is cancelled.
Our options are drive out and get a refund and try to find another route off the island or wait for possible space on the 10:15.
The next sailing out of Departure Bay is canceled due to a lack of staff. Don't get me started on their whole part time staff situation. Of course they have issues getting people to come in when they don't have a livable wage.
The people with reservations on the 10:15 boat have priority. So we are on standby with only 18% availability.
We are in an oversize line up and fourth behind three big delivery trucks. So there is some hope.
Heck of a long time to sit here in the car. Once again. Can we talk about how much I despise BC Ferries and their ridiculous protocols. If we have been here since 6:40am shouldn't we get on board before the following sailings?!
Not the greatest of starts.
However I still haven't pooped myself.
Oh, and playing the cancer card doesn't work for priority here.
