Got me a van!!! Yeah!!!

An older e150 ford conversion that runs so sweet. Which the inside was sweet as well but it needs a MAJOR cleaning. The body is great too...no accidents!!







Look at that rug!!!! Its going to
need the green clean machine I am sure. If not I will have to chuck it. I am going to cover it anyways with new carpet.

The New Year

Wow a whole year is gone can it really be?. Its been a good year for me. Sure I had some downers but mostly I had uppers. Starting with making new wonderful friends here on the blogs and from FB. I've met a few FB friends face to face and its wonderful,I mean we became friends because we had things in common so whats not to like.
The storm Irene from last year opened my eyes to what I could do with my life when I found the cheaprvliving.com forum online.
I learned to budget much better which has always been a thorn on my side. My diet has been improving I exercise more. It seems to me when you make New Years resolution that it has to be the WHOLE year to adjust to it. Doesn't that make sense? So this year it will be the van. I want to get more involved with some charities not sure what I can do to help them but I will keep my eyes open for suggestions.
I have also started writing again. Not just here but I have been writing a few short stories. I am rusty because it has been a few years but the more I write the better it comes. Its the creative part thats more important. Thats why we have editors! Would be lovely to write a novella about one of my ideas. Maybe not this year but to get most of it done. Its a start.

Just a few of my favorites thing and then I don't feel so badddddddd!

Happy New Years to everyone of my friends! Wishing you all the very best,your dreams to come fruitful and happiness to follow your trail.

Computer is down!!!

I try to post a blog at least once a week. But my computer is ill after only 4 months! If you have Dell I have to tell you ,you are in great hands. They have such good customer service. I do not have to pay a penny and they figured what the problem was on the telephone. Ok bad part be prepared to hold the phone to your ear for at least 2 hours at a time. Yeah ...thank god for speaker phones! Its nice to see I now have 24 followers. Thank you for joining my bumpy ride here. Hopefully I will have my laptop back in about 10 days and not have to hang at the library. Don't get me wrong I do love the library ,just like to kick back on the couch better with the laptop. On the van side side I am getting closer to getting one. I figure by next month I will be on the hunt for my new home. Im already starting the bed frame for it. Since it will fit in any van I can go ahead and draw it out and starting drilling and sawing away. Its going to be a reverse futon that will be about 47" x 66 inches. I can't wait to get started on it and I will be taking pictures along the way. So thats it for now...have a GREAT week everyone!

Depression

I get depressed at this time of the year. Holiday.bah hum bug. I lied today and took a day off. I don't like doing that but it happens. I dont take off when Im sick with a cold or if Im in pain(unless its severe)but yes I do take a day off sometimes when I get this funk. To me this is my illness,my sickness....had it for years. Today i will do something to make me feel a little better. I will take care of my self. Writing here helps. I will keep busy...crochet. Take a walk. Play with my pets. Call friends. It doesn't last long, a few days sometimes a week. Sort of like a migraine. I remember when I 1st starting getting depress but didn't realize it had a name. I was about 15 to young to know what it was but old enough to know something was wrong. I got help and learned to manage it without meds. So I don't get get suicidal thoughts but its a low grade depression? Has nothing and everything to do about living in a van. Maybe living in it is the wrong word,just hanging out in there is better. Who knows maybe by moving in the van and staying where I want to will have a good impact on this depression.
