Step One: Stay in bed way past the time your partner/husband gets up to work on the boat.
Step Two: Roll over for 15 more minutes and don't think about what the day might bring.
Step Three: Get up and drink at least 3 cups of coffee before deciding what to wear for the days work ahead.
Step Four: Put out the cereal and milk and call your partner/husband who's been working his ass off for 2 hours already, to come to breakfast that you 'prepared' for him.
Step Five: Don't think about Happy Hour it's still 8 hours away!
Step Six: Walk around the boat a few times trying to remember what job you were going to work on today. Can't remember so go have another cup of coffee.
Step Seven: Chat with other boat yard ladies see what they are working on or thinking of working on. Get inspired and go polish a few bits on the boat before deciding it's too hot to work outside. Must be time for lunch.
Step Eight: Go into boat and see what hubby is up to. Offer to help, clean up or just be a general pain in the butt. Oh well I tried!
Step Nine: Talk to other boat yard ladies and plan what to bring to Happy Hour which by the way is still hours away.
Step Ten: Decide to knock off early and see what your friends are doing on Facebook.
Step Eleven: Happy Hour - Yippee!!!!
