Finally, it warmed up a bit. We made it to 14 above. Woo-hoo. I was watching the news last night, and my theory proved correct on the weather part; it has been about 10-15 degrees colder than normal this month. I really didn’t think that we usually sat at -15 for days this time of year, and I was right. Woo-somebody get me a donut…
Did a move-in clean for a guy yesterday, and he was so impressed with my hard-water stain removing talents, he hired me to keep coming back every week! Yay! I do ache today though; his clean included carpet shampoo, and with no tub to soak it away afterwards, I am very sore today. Is ok, though; I imagine I’ll survive.
If J had still been alive, he would have turned 60 today. I’ve been gearing up mentally for about a week now, so I’m really hoping that today doesn’t wreck me. So far, so good. Just gotta get through today and Thursday, then I’ll be ok I think. I hope.
I think I’m pretty much set on leaving here next summer. If I were to move into the camper full-time in May and live in that, I could sell the rest of everything, work up here for the summer (and enjoy one last summer here), then go about the middle of August. My brother has givien me his blessing to land at his place, he has an RV site already built on his property. Unless something major happens, I’m gonna go. I feel as if I’ve over-extended my stay up here at this point, and it’s time to move on. I’m alone, and this is a brutal place to be alone, especially in the winter. The climate at my brother’s place is much milder; I could live in the camper year-round, which would suit me fine. I’ve been doing research on full-time RV’ing, and that spells ‘gypsi’ all over it. I’ve never really been one to fall for the ‘buy a house and settle down’ mentality (I did try with J, though), but to eventually buy a bus that’s been converted, oh yeah, that I could do.
