An Ordinary Day -- In A Nomad's Life

Today is a lazy day for me.  I slept in until 11 am, a little late,  but obviously what my body needed.  Kira was perfectly content to sleep next to me that late. 

We spent last night at the local Walmart.  There's an area where I often see the 2 or 3 other fulltime low key nomads.  We're all quiet,  leave no trash, make no fuss,  and quietly leave.  

During the Walmart el Paso shooting,  I was approached by police and asked if I'd seen any unusual vehicles and to call them if I had.  It pays to be quiet and respectful of property.  The police do notice.  

Today was

-Wakeup

-Move van over in a parking lot by McDonald's for potty and wifi.  

- move van to nearby park,  take out the small bag of trash, and empty the potty in the bathroom's toilet. 

- breakfast.  Sometimes I just like opening a can and eating right from the can. 

We saw 3 homeless with a cart and a pit bull.  Kira donated breakfast for the pup.  Dog food and some small milkbone treats.

Today is a lazy no cooking day.  I'll open a can and eat when hungry.  

A friend called and said he'd bring me a 2 liter cola and some peanuts in the shell for Kira.  She adores a shelled peanut as a treat. 

A little cleaning, a nap,  some video streaming,  and a little social media is the extent of my ambitions today

Good coffee to you

A Day With No Clock

One of the great pluses of nomadic life is divorcing the clock constructed life.

I spent last night inside,  had to be gone by 830, I woke up at 8.

Grabbed Kira and things,  threw into the class b plus van.  Quick breakfast made and bagged up.. coffee on the go.

It's been cloudy and drizzling.. we have spent most of the day at park.. turned on heater and took the chill off the van.

Breakfast,  lunch,  and naps all intermingled today.  No time sensitive things until a tech support gig after 3 pm..

The perfect day to just relax and not watch the time.  

Here's to those days where time is elastic, it just ebbs & flows

Good coffee to you

Journey Notes: celebrating 1 week after a hiatus

Life happens.  And as usual, it seems to enjoy throwing the advanced challenges at me.  Kira and I have been fulltime back in the van a week.  She is happier. 

The class b+ is loaded to the gills. I can't find anything yet.  I was finally able to clear enough of the bed to lay down and sleep.  

Mark has joined me for a week or two to help, and for a visit.  

Kira has decided to help write the blog today (napping on my lap) 

With the recent loss of the amerigo trailer,  we are just going on one foot in front of the other

Good coffee to you
