First Frustrations; then, Getting Reacquainted
Note: I started this a week ago, and then never got back to it until today. Thursday, March 7 And just like that, February is over and here it is over a week into March. And I am out in the world in Van Morrison again! I’m headed to Jacksonville,…
More Reflections on Traveling – Some of What I Came For; a Change
One of the things I rediscovered was my ability to be adaptable, to be flexible, to bend and move and adjust. It was serious discovery, an important one; it permeates all the corners of my life. I have tried to bring it back with me, to let it seep back…
Reflections – Days 3-5 on the Outer Banks
Continuing from this post… I have finally arrived at my chosen destination, a place I love: the windswept Outer Banks of North Carolina. There I face some additional challenges (aka “opportunities for learning”): rain, wind, cold, flooded campsite, solar and electrical issues. And yet – and yet – I find…
Happy Christm-Ass!
A short break from my reflections to help celebrate the holidays… Adam and I took Van Morrison down to this funny little town in the Ozarks called Eureka Springs. I have fallen in love with the area and the town! We have been shopping and eating and wandering, as much…
Reflections
It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?? Or a lot of minutes… I’ve made lots of excuses these past three (or four?) weeks about why I haven’t posted anything, the latest being that the laptop I had been using, a castoff from my work, was such a behemoth that I loathed…
An Actual Scavenger Hunt
Another solo camping / remote working trip for me – the last short one (I think) before my two week solo trip to the Outer Banks at Thanksgiving. This one had some challenges to be solved and overcome as well, but little by little we’re getting the van set up…
My First Solo Vancamping Trip
It’s been my dream to work remotely for as long as I have known that remote work was a thing – long before I ever had a job where it was possible. When I was offered the opportunity to work from home in my last position, I jumped at it…
Stuck
Adam and I are out on an overnight van adventure, hitting one of Missouri’s state parks, staying overnight Saturday and going back home on Sunday. Fast and furious, and one of the exact reasons we bought the van. It was even better than we expected though, since it rained all…
Is that a cannon in your pocket or…?
Warren, Adam and I tried several times over the years to get the Scavenger Hunt Location “cannon.” We visited many parks where there were old cannons on display, and every time we prowled around, trying to figure a way to get the shot without, well, getting shot. But it just…
A Tall Drink of Water
A man or woman that is tall, gorgeous, and super delicious – like on a hot day, a tall drink of water is irresistable. I know, I know, Sinful Sunday is supposed to be an erotic image, but this is my blog and I get to decide what’s erotic –…
