I am excited I finally found a gig for a couple months in Florida. It will be good to be back where I call home for a short time. It will also be great to be back on the road. I have a couple weeks before I need to leave so I have some time to raise some funds for a new tire for Blue. I have a few things for sale on ebay and craigslist. The more I live this life on the road the more I realize I need less. Never thought I would be one living with next to nothing. Don't get me wrong I have gotten rid of a lot of things and don't have a house full of stuff. I usually do a good purge of stuff every time I move... well not a purge but a few trips to Goodwill or selling/giving things away on craigslist. I don't have much these days but I feel I could do with even less... and if I haven't used it in the last 6 months to a year and don't see using it in the near future it is just taking up space when it could be used by someone else. So off to find homes for a few items I do love but don't need. I hope to eventually have everything I own fit in my trailer. Except for maybe a box of items I keep at my parents of sentimental things.
The other great thing about not having room to bring anything new is the amount of money I save by not buying things I don't really need. I can go thru Walmart and not buy a thing... and when I do buy something it is a basic necessity like food or something for my boys. I have no need for anything.. kind of odd. No shoes, clothes or whatever... I tell myself I have to wait until I can't use what I already have. So hopefully this time out I will be going out with less. We will see...
Well anyway... not much I need to do other than get Blue ready... oil change, tire and be sure her brakes are good. Ohh and the best part is finding some random way to get there. :)
I am also looking for a house/pet sitting gig for the month of May in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area. You can check out my house sitting profile on Housecarers.com. If you know anyone looking for a house/pet sitter in the area let me know or send them my link.
I feel like I can breathe again... can't wait for my new adventure.
