Pull of the road

06 OCTOBER, 2008
feeling the pull of the road
so, i'm starting to feel the unrest, the desire to move on, and the 'anxiety' that goes with it.  i feel like there are things i need to do before i leave this spot.  i've been staying comfortablely at my son's apt.  the neighbors have all toured my van, and have quit asking questions about how i can live in such a small space, and why would i want to.. when i leave for a week or 2 they stop me and ask where ive been and what i did there.  but i am ready to move.  i wish my family could travel with me.  i think that is my challenge.  i need to be happy on my own.  i think i could set up a web cam and talk to my grandkids.. if i did that i wouldnt have the shock that happens when i come back after months away from them.  they are young so they change so much in a short time.  if we talked via web cam i would be able to see those happen gradually.  so that wou
ld solve a dilema for me.  i dont think webcams are too expensive.  so that is one project to complete.  

i want to take my big grill and hammock with me this year.  and i bought 2 lounge chairs and a rope chair.. so i am looking at towing a small cargo trailor.  i could add a vent and a window, and fit a screen over the back door opening and i would have a spare bedrm.  i have always invited people to come stay with me.. this way i could give them a comfortable place to land.  i dont think it would add much to my gas costs.  and it would be a fun project.  i have a line on one.. my cousin put new axle and wheels on an old trailer.. he said he'd sell it for the cost of those repairs.  so i think i should do itl.  

my cobra insurance is done.  i am in poor health, so being without insurance is scarey.  but i dont think i have many options there.  Ooi plan to meet with someone and at least hear what the options are.  but on my own, i'm sure i'll be denied.  

well.  thats my thoughts for today.. hope to be on the road soon.. and i'll keep posting.. i meet some great people traveling.. i am going to be sure to include them on here.. later, diane
