No heat, no toothbrushes, no coffee...
But last night before finally getting to sleep near 2 a.m. we laughed until we cried 🤣 and I'm so grateful and blessed to be doing life with someone so awesome 💚💚💚
quotingAfter moving boxes to our new address yesterday, my car decided to die. Our new residence is 2hrs from our old one. Got a tow, got a loaner vehicle from someone, made it back home by 9PM yesterday, instead of 3PM for a second trip of "plants, rocks, and books"...yes we're crazy, but our priorities are in order.

Anyway, today we frantically packed everything out of the RV (and cleaned tanks, disconnected services, etc) in preparation of the landlord's grand-daughter that is supposed to be bringing a truck with a fifth-wheel hitch.
I get a call from the landlord, "I just talked with [grand daughter], what's the story?" Well, the story was that she was supposed to be arriving any minute.
I guess she "didn't feel like it", so the landlord said he'd arrive with the truck tomorrow morning; the day of our deadline with the county.
Oh, by the way, this message is brought to you by FUCK THE STATE, Inc. Now back to our not-so-scheduled story.
I hear his wife yelling at him in the background, "No! We are getting them right now!" He protested that it was late, and he was tired, but I heard more yelling in the background, and he confirmed that he would arrive in three hours.
A few hours later, I get a voice message, "We're half way there, but found out the tags are expired and there's no insurance. I'm not going to jail again, so we're turning around!" I hear more yelling from his wife in the background, something about picking us up anyway. We have no clue what's going at this point. Then we confirmed that they are NOT coming, and are headed back.
Our home is empty, and no longer has plumbing to the outside world. Everything is sealed in boxes and packed in the loaner vehicle. Nothing else to do except make another trip of plants, rocks, but this time tools instead of books (aside from car fixing tools, which I should have had yesterday when my car died).
On the schedule: rent a car, print a trip permit, follow our home to its new place, get it level and chocked, return the loaner car, hook up sewage, electric, and water, prepare for car repairs after work so we can ditch the rental, sleep, work, buy parts and perform repair, while still moving more and more plants and rocks.
Being so fortunate isn't easy, but it's a blast!
