It's nearly impossible to be graceful climbing down a ladder

But it is much easier to make an attempt when you're sober.

1. Particularly if you were wearing high heels.
Though, it wouldn't bother me at all.:evilgrin:

4. I ditched the shoes on the ground floor
It was enough trying to get on the boat in a straight skirt and heels.

5. The hardest part is getting on the ladder from the loft
nothing to hang onto.

I'm not sure if that method would work, the ladder isn't perfectly vertical.

So really, no one can comment on my lack of grace.

just not knowledgeably

I'm sure any ladder-descending method you choose works perfectly for you.

7. I'm on a houseboat
It is lovely except they seem to be doing some work on the bridge over my head.

Good thing too. Earlier today a hunk of metal came flying off and hit me - it felt like a whip. It must have dropped at least 100 feet if not more.

14. Internets and a funky pump toilet
Not to mention a toaster/coffeemaker that is too cute for words.

16. I'll bet you could! I hear living on boats is a lot of fun...
But they are also a lot more work to maintain than an apartment!

18. I know.
And I don't even have plants. I've killed several cacti because I didn't water them enough. Perhaps a houseboat is too ambitious for me.

17. You can tell if I'm going commando?
Or am I not wearing any overgarments in this scenario either?
