Hello, fair people! I hope you’re all doing well today, wherever this blog finds you!
I’ve been stewing on this blog for a minute, not on a particular topic. More on getting down to writing it and looking back I surely had plenty of time and intent but it just never happened. This last year I lost my focus on this work and I had this lovely human pull up and like, clarify and stamp it in my brain that it is time to get back on it! I do kno my message. I repeat it so often and it’s been quite har to get it out in story form, but just to be clear: LIVE YOU. LIVE YOUR DREAM. FOLLOW YOUR HEART.
I feel ready to regrasp at my straws and maybe pull a beautiful bouquet out of the haystack! It’s never too late to follow your heart and make yourself happy. My brother seems proof of the month in our family.
I’ve been getting back on the productive side of things. This morning I busted out a bunch of tiktok. I have collected an array of footage. So it was a little overwhelming but putting out little glimpses of our last 6 months was pretty easy.
I also did the vet recommended treatment for ringworm that seems to have kept on the sneaky on the animals because we haven’t had any spots since we’d adopted the cat. Anyways, I did 3 rounds of baths every other day for a week with two cats and a dog.
Considering it was the last round of shampooing, and rainy and cold, and I needed to file my taxes, we checked into a hotel for a night.
I have so many projects ahead of me, adding to my daily chore list, my physically written todo list keeps morphing. I really want to be more organized so that I can work efficienty and actually do more.
Don’t get me wrong, we’re already living very satisfactorily with our fun field trips and the feeling of achievement with the kids learning and growing progress. I’m just starting to feel more capable of owning all that I have and am doing. I’m hopping that this mindset of growth will set everything right legally speaking too. I’m just sniffing my path out.
I’ve been feeling lonely also lately, being the only adult on the road going places can get tiresome. I do also believe that this time isn’t going to last forever and having this lone warrior phase is bringing me so much strength physically and mentally. Eventually emotionally too…
That planet in cancer really brought out these emotions and I wasn’t feeling very clear headed, but I tried to just ride it out and eventually my mind space felt solid enough to where I had to readjust once it cleared.
For the last couple days we were playing bad weather evasion unwilling to head up into the northernpart of the florida east coast while the frost and storms were raging. It was good to practice our weather watching and road mapping and patience. Once we reached the end tail of it, we drove in before the storm from the south hit. I knew that it’s a possibility of stupidity but it’d been such storms for long enough, and pensacola was starting to warm up again….. The thought entered “Laney, it’s winter….” but I said “shut up!” and now we’re sitting in sunshine. It cou;d’ve re;;y gone either way and can still…. but I trust my gut and am getting where we want to be.
Heading to Pensacola through Gainesville and possibly Dunnellon. Avoiding Gulf Breeze, maybe hitting the campsite we like. Get to see my friend! and Galixy gets to have her tablet…. and the kids get to play.
From there towards Nola. And that’s as far as that plan goes…. Winter is still upon us and there is much zig zagging to be done to explore all of this beautiful east coast (South.)
Quite possibly I’ll have a companion. Possibly even two! I really would like to build a whole community of travelers to explore together. Eventually we could possibly save up and put together for a land base to go work together on our things when we need. Be able to expand our travels to the outside of the US as an alternative too. I’m almost imagining it like a mini carnival because we’ll be so colorful. Be able to afford each other time off and cohabitation without space infringement.
This touches on a whole different blog post imma go work…. I hope. It’s been brooding.
So we’re at a playground and I’ve been divided between getting this done and helping the kids sort their nonsense. It’s beautiful here and I have half a mind to go walk and explore a little.
I do hope we make it to Gainesville today. The first drive earlier today was kind of a hassle with the kids, but it’s quite possible that the park exercise and some food is what they needed before being able to sit still.
Getting up early, staying up late, and proper nutrition might be helping my productivity, so lets hope that those surely correlate. Also, exercise! But I feel I get that pretty consistent out here anyway.
