Billings-Hanser’s car lot

Last night was a fairly quiet night. after the shop closed (they told me they’d bring me in in the morning), the boys and I walked down a couple blocks to the Taco Bell. We spent 9 dollars of which about a dollar and a half went uneaten. Galixy could not be talked into eating, though he usually likes burritos.

The night was a little tough. The boys are feeling under the weather a little, so Galixy woke up a few times. It made me not want to get up as early as the boys wanted. But I did it anyway and drank coffee as Justin walked up to give me a warning to get the bus into the shop.

I think it was the best day the boys have ever lived through. The bus rolled into the shop and up onto the ramp. We went into the waiting area where they were having a hazmat meeting, they moved into another room. There was coffee for me and hot cocoa for the boys. Someone turned on cartoons and then another brought Donuts! Half way through the day, they brought Pizza! Galixy ran around obnoxiously while Atreyu sat glued to his favorite hypnotizer.

Right before the bus came out of the garage and got pushed to a spot right outside of the shop, I got a visit from a dude I met online. OOOh red flags XD Just kidding. I’m not being risky by any means. My living in a skoolie can be seen as risky enough. This guy is 26 years old. He lives here in Billings but has traveled a little, but mainly he seems like a very sweet guy with his eyes open. He’s bringing us some lunch tomorrow and me some new gems.

I fed the boys Baked beans and toast with sides of cucumber before we took an evening walk. Now they’re tucked up in bed and I’m watching “bad moms” while eating cheetohs and writing. I’m tired and thirsty, but those are minimal things I can totally take care of. I’m using this weekend to really focus on being here right now. I wish I was back with Saliha who has such a limited time being here, but I can’t change that we are here now. So I’m just gonna focus on doing the best I can at making my kids and I feel good.

DJ made a comment that he wouldn’t have thought to find a person like me on tinder (yeah, I am on Tinder. No I’m not going to random hook ups. I just want to meet people.) I’m continuously shocked by the fact that a lot of humans are still sheeping away. I feel like I’m in a twilight zone. My reality is not everybody else’s. Which is ok by all standards. I just feel out of touch with what’s normal anymore.

I’m grateful for getting my bus fixed under warranty. I’m grateful for my usually healthy children. I’m grateful we get to stay in our bus whilst things are being worked on. I’m grateful that I have some awesome friends and amazing family. I’m grateful for Saliha being on this continent for a little
