Bus Life. Off The Grid!

Stupid Jack Head LOL

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 :-)

10 more days.

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.

2 more weeks!

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.
