Step 1 ----- Check

So I took the first step to freedom and sold my car. That is kind of an oxymoron, because my freedom to move about the world freely in a car has disappeared, but now I have to buy the truck of my dreams in order to pull the RV. I did not expect to sell my car so quickly and maybe it was a rash move on my part but the person who got it was a girl, 16, who was a good student, volleyball player and her step-dad was so proud of her, he wanted to get her this car. It was the right person for Ms. Bug to go to.

I also gave notice at my apartments that I would be moving out come September 16, so that is another reason to move forward, but honestly folks, I am scared to death. Six months from now, when I am writing about how nice it is to live in the trailer, about all the nice people I have met etc. etc. then I can read this and say..........PSHAW, you were scared. But I am.

So after I sold my car, I went to Target and bought a bike for transportation. I only live two miles from work, so this seemed a logical thing to do. Plus I want a bike for when I am living in the RV for quick trips to the camp store etc.

So Wednesday I get up and head to work, didn't make it. Front was heavy from laptop and files, went over curb and crashed. Busted my lip, my knee, didn't hurt my bike though. But bashed my self confidence. So I worked from home a couple of days. My son was supposed to come home and leave me his truck to use but on his way home his truck broke, so I had to send him money, then while he is in Merkel, TX visiting friends, he sprains his ankle and can't go back to work. SO, here I am walking, riding the bus and riding the bike to work during the HOTTEST part of the summer in TEXAS.  Not very good planning on my part. But I think this is God's way of preparing me for the warehouse job at Amazon. Who knows, I just know that I have to do this and even though it is very scary to become a nomad on wheels, I am gaining the personal freedom I have longed for.
