No Turning Back Now

Wow...it's a done deal...the house is empty and my stuff is on the way to Tucson!!  I'm so tired that I'm numb so I don't think I'm reacting too much right now.  Maybe tomorrow.  As of tomorrow morning, Olivia is my home.  

Tonight I'm sleeping on the floor in the dining room with my dog because that's the only place with carpeting.  Do you wonder why I'm not in Olivia? She's parked on my driveway which is quite steep so it wouldn't be comfortable.  I also have some last minute things to do in the house.  

I went to dinner with a friend and her daughter and her friends and we met at The Old Spaghetti Factory down on the Seattle waterfront.  The special was a shrimp fettucini dish and it was not good.  I ate the shrimp and that's about it.  My friend complained to the server and the rest of us chimed in so we got a discount.  My bill went from $22 to $8.  

I want to say something profound about my journey starting tomorrow and I'm unable to at this time.  Maybe a good night's sleep will help.  Maybe not downsizing anymore will help even more.  

I don't know how far I'm going to get tomorrow.  I'm not in a hurry and I don't want to drive too many hours.  After all, that's what RVing is about. Hopefully, the next post I write will be more coherent.  

See ya on the road, 

Jeana

    I remember that exhaustion quite well. The payoff for all of your hard work is literally just around the corner.

    Best wishes for many safe, happy and trouble-free miles.

    Enjoy!

  11. You're an inspiration! I feel like at my pace my house will never be empty... but my goal is Thanksgiving. We'll see. I can't wait to read of your fantastic journeys!

  12. You did it! You accomplished your goal! Now for the next step...

    Spaghetti Factory is way overrated! We stopped going there 10 years ago, at least. Now, we look for local eateries only.... no more chains for us.

  13. I really enjoy following your exploits - trials & tribulations. Keep watching your rear view mirror as I'm embarking on a FT lifestyle in 2 months. Leaving Edmonds (WA) and heading for Tucson on a leisurely pace. I need to find a nice RV park to nest in for a couple months - maybe share a cup-o-coffee down the road. On the sidelines and watching :-)
