From The Roundhole

This morning I found an old jack in the box head, and have had a running joke with a friend of mine about them. I thought it would be funny to put it up on the antenna of the bus and send a piicture. As I was climbing the ladder I thought, "with my luck I will fall off the top of the bus while doing this, now that would be funny." OK...so up I go, put the Jack head on just fine, and as I go back down the ladder I lose my footing. 11 feet to the ground, of course, my leg tangles up in the ladder, I bounce of the tool box at the back, and crack my hip on the hitch right before landing in the street where I think, Oh geeezus, I hope there is not a car coming. I only had a nano second to think about that when the ladder followed me down and hit me in the head. ow. I hope my friend appreciates the humor in this. Nothing broken...I'm going to be sore tomorrow, but it sure makes one wonder, what if I had broke a leg...must be more careful. After the elctrocution a couple of weeks ago and the telephone pole trying to kill me before that I am beginning to wonder :-)

It is getting closer yet, the move into the bus, I have given away almost everything I own. Both material and otherwise I feel. As I loook around the empty room in the house, I feel like that somewhat inside, strange really. Lots of the material things have quite a bit of value, but I simply can not do garage sales, haggle over nickles and pennies. I hope one day to have a job where I dont have to sell anything to anyone. I'm still not quite sure how to fit even what I have left. The bus is only 26 feet, and although it looks bigger, the garage is 24 but has to hold my car. I am finding that once again I feel very alone in all this, no one to help.  But...less is more, I keep telling myself that, and for the most part, I believe it.

School is slipping, math mostly, the other classes are ok. I hate math lol. And will have to play major catch up after the end of the month. I'm sure it is doable, I just won't be doing much of anything else!

OK...back to work, today and only one more sunday to get everything else done. Love to all.

Well, the big move is two weeks away. As it gets closer I have had a lot of time to think why I have chosen this route. Firstly, it was because of need, and secondly, it will allow me to do the right things for the people I love. The other option would have been sharing a home with a couple of folks, and I guess I value my privacy tooo much. I have never been a good room mate unless it was with someone I was in love with. Hmm..and possibly not very good then either.

I have had to give my dog of 12 years away :-( I still hear him sometimes at night, I sometimes don't know if I was dreaming or just hearing things.

I was told at work that we will be closing for a much longer time than normal this winter, so perhaps this is a good things as well. Possibly I can wander a little bit, and see some things I would like to see. Other than this job, I have finally realized there is simply no reason for me to stay here any more. I could go anywhere I want. School can all be done online. Now I just need to pick a direction to point myself, and hope that the wind stays at my back.
