JANUARY 14

Hello,
A new year and I'm still not retired.

One of the problems I've had with writing is doing exactly the same thing everyday.  How does one write about the same thing everyday?  When I first started the plan was to record my journey to full time rving.  Now a year later I'm still doing the same thing.  My first reaction was to quit blogging but now I've decided to continue in the hope that recording life will benefit me down the road.

My youngest daughter moved in with me in December.  I thought this would benefit both of us financially but so far she has only worked 1 week out of 4.  She did have minor surgery requiring her to be off work for 2 weeks, then she worked a week and had another minor health issue.  She just needs to get back to work so our lives can become somewhat routine.

Last week I checked out driving to Florida for the weekend.  Too many hours driving to overnight in Florida then head back home.  Today I'm going to check on temps and camping around Atlanta or maybe Mississippi.  I need somewhere within a 6 hr drive.  Florida is 10 hrs or more.  It's just too cold for camping anywhere close.

Today's plan:  Research trips within a 6 hr driving range and price and stock all the books on the 2 tables.  Then I can start on the boxes of books under the tables.

I'm going to get off here and do some research.

Have a great day!

THE NEW YEAR

2015 goals:

sell house
purchase a van or truck
rent a kayak
take an all day hike
hike alone

#1 changed my mind
#2 purchased a van
#3 didn't take advantage of opportunity
#4 didn't even try
#5 was a little different but okay

So I actually completed 2 of 5 items.  Yeah! at least I did something.
2016 my only goal will be to live one day at a time.  I spend way too much time worrying about how to change things and not enough time enjoying what I have.
Today I'm working on getting books on the shelves.  I've taken in more books than I've sold which means a lot of boxes sitting around waiting for shelving.  Getting them all on the shelf is what keeps me in business.  And the business is what will pay for my next trip!

Have a great day!
