Writing on here two days in a row. Just like the old times.
I want to recap my trip thus far, which I think for now will mean a bunch of matter-of-fact, Hemingway-esque short and stabby sentences.
The weeks leading up to the departure wasn't exactly frantic, as much as paralyzing. My anxiety and stress ramped up as my body shut down. I watched almost helplessly as my runway disappeared before my eyes and my checklists remained unchecked.
I thought I would have more time. The plan was to help move my roommate into their new place on Tuesday, clean the house on Wednesday and turn the keys in a day early on Thursday. Which would give me a few days to get the last minute details done before leaving on Sunday.
But alas, the best laid plans and so on and so forth.
Their one small truckload was actually two medium size truck loads and six full van trips. All upstairs in Oklahoma heat.
And in the meantime, the van started having problems. Not major problems, really. Except the solar. That is still not working at all. Which certainly does hinder one's ability to live in said van. No lights, no fridge, etc.
It's also making a loud noise when I drive. I think it has to do with the muffler. Spent a day trying to find someone to fix the solar, but no dice. Tried to get the noise fixed but the mechanic kept my van for a full day before saying that it was too tall to fit into their garage to even look at it.
And then it was Sunday at 6 in the morning and we were off.
And here we are back in the present at a beach house in Maryland where a 6 year old has sat next to me and is telling me about various things that live in the ocean, so I will stop with the story for now.
More to come soon.
