day by day i’m getting more comfortable with my new routines
i typically don’t like to take up space so having this captivating fairytale cottage on the back of a beast of a truck is a different way of moving in the world
instead of being inconspicuous everyone is looking at me— literally!— with their phones out and taking pictures
it is also an attitude adjustment to drive the way i want and need to drive to keep everything stable and not worry about what other people are thinking about it— cause sometimes they can’t get around bessie the beast’s really big butt!
the day before yesterday i was driving and the road did this thing where it quickly tipped one way and then the other
and i heard a sound in the back— which i hate because i will find something that i have to deal with when i go inside next
and it wasn’t immediately apparent what happened but then i discovered that one of the rails had ripped out on my tool drawer— that is my biggest, heaviest drawer and i am learning one more time that these sharp sideways or up and down movements are dangerous for the innards of my vardo
so now i have to fix this tomorrow
the weather has been funky the last few days so my solar batteries aren’t fully recharging— today was especially bad—we had the dreaded fire sky with it’s gray pall and sickly orange sun and i never got over 50% charge
it seems like most days i am using about 30% of my battery capacity so i am still fine but thinking about going over to felton tomorrow or monday to get some real sunshine and walk in my beloved henry cowell while the river bridge is still up
there’s a hole in the bottom of the row, there’s a hole in the bottom of the row, there’s a hole, there’s a hole…
