Do you want some free stuff? Plus diet is so important

Been a while seen I've been here. No nothing really big and exciting to spread around. Just go to work and then come home kind of thing. My days off have been really just cleaning and trying to pack things away.
I'm selling some stuff too so kind of chained here at the moment. I decided I didn't want the engine on my bike I bought for about 200 bucks. Some guy wants it for 50 bucks. Rightttt!!! Thats not happening. Selling brand new comfort handlebars for a bicycle for 5 bucks. What..... don't want to be comfy riding?
My apt. is a mess from doing the said above now even though I threw so much stuff away it still feel full. Tried to donate to free-cycle but nobody bit the bug yet. I have to give away some stuff because nobody really wants to buy them. If at the end nobody takes them I will be putting a sign out side free stuff and let them take it away.

The end of the month is coming and I've saved like I said I would, dear god please don't give me an emergency now!! It seems every time I try to save thats what happens.

After I have the van I will be getting ready in 1 month. Nothing fancy. One thing I will be doing before I leave is insulating. Once thats done ...I'm out.

On another note I have not lost any weight yet. It seems my digestive issue is still going around in circles. I can't eat wheat. I can't have too much dairy. And wham I now need to take digestive enzymes everyday now. Where does one get such bad inside like that? Its interesting at the same time...just trying to figure it out. Its so like a puzzle.

I have one more little old man rat that may be coming with me. I will have to downsize his cage but he is not as active so it will work. It will be cooler by then so it will be fine. Another item to sell..huge rodent cage with playpen and carrier. I will be selling it at a very low price. Its a good deal for somebodies pet. I am betting that will go fast.

Been riding my bike a lot these days. We have a beautiful town park that I am planning to ride through tomorrow. Its not a long trail but around 3 miles. Will take some pictures then and post.
So getting a bit tired and will stop for now. Thanks for dropping by. :)

3 more months ...in the clear!



In 3 months I will have cleared all my debt to credit cards. Yahoo! Damm right this deserves a BIG yahoo. I do have one thats on line. Very low ..about 150 bucks which I plan to hold on to for a while. Since I don't have a car to get places this has been a good place to buy things I need. But when I get the van up and I'm going say bye bye to that one too. My credit btw is shot. In a few years I guess I can make it better. But I really don't care less about it. Ta ta to them is really all I want.

This month of July I am writing down every nickel and dime on what I am spending. I would like to know how much I will be saving once I am on the road which is getting coming closer than I think. I get butterfly's and dizzy when I think about it. I only really have one thing I really want to get once I save up enough in the van. New hearing aids!!!

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!

Labeling stuff and etc. how exciting.

 Today is my 1st new day off. I work 62 hours and slowly Ive been burning out. Its like the train roaring down the tracks. First you hear the slight sounds of a rumble somewhere far away. You see lights but not sure if they belong to a car or train yet. Then the lights are brighter as the train rambles down, the ground may also tremble a bit if they are elevated tracks. Then of course the train is upon you with full lights and if its not stopping you hear the loud roar of its horn. Well that explains how my job life has been going . So I asked for 4 days instead of 5. Mine you of course Im still working almost 48 to 50 hrs. LOL. So since I can't really do anything to my new life until I get the van I certainly can do stuff that will be put in the van. So today I rode my bike to town to the wonderful Dollar Tree to get containers and start labeling stuff.


I even put smaller ones with the chargers for batteries that are charged and not. My concern is the place being smaller(and thats not by much!)than my apt that I won't be able to find things. Im not going crazy with this just being practicable. I noticed something also living in a bigger place you buy double because you lose things and also you forget the things you don't really need and it just sits there taking up room. I threw out 2 bags of stuff that I had no need for and Im sure nobody else does either.

On the fun side its raining here ...lightly. I rode my bike taking my time heck its my 1st new day of freedom. I rode to the library and got some DVDs to rent. I had lunch at home. Small cheese pizza which I picked up at
the Dollar tree and watched a movie. Took a nap and then did the labeling stuff. I still have the evening. Loving my 1st day off.
