Travel
I began writing a blog in 2008 when I decided to sell my house, buy an RV, and live the full-time RVing life. That lasted for about 2 years, and I had some good times as well as some traumatic times. In the long run I discovered it wasn't fun to do alone. The blog has been well received by many in the RVing community, but now things have changed in my life and I'm no longer a full-time or even part-time member of that group. What I'd like to say is that I know many of you read blogs to hear about the RVing life. So if my blog no longer lives up to your expectations or preferences, by all means drop me from your list. What I don't need is a negative comment about it. I write and folks read, just as I read the blogs of others. There is no reason why an anonymous person needs to tell me I complain too much or am uninteresting, or whatever. JUST DON'T READ MY BLOG if you feel that way! It's really all that simple.
My life has taken a dramatic turn away from what it was the past few years and I am comfortable with that. I still hope to travel, but to tell the truth I doubt if I would ever want to travel in an RV again. I am finding it so much easier FOR ME to drive a smaller and more maneuverable vehicle. If you disagree then that's fine with me, but I can only say what I think and feel.
I drove downtown to my doctors office to pick up a prescription this morning and while I'm not usually a freeway driver, I did take US 50 freeway most of the way going and coming. Driving back I couldn't believe the condition of the roadway - smooth as glass! It has been repaved and the on and off ramps are much improved. So all that aggravation of roadwork can lead to a very pleasant driving experience, to say nothing about it being much safer.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to cover the time since I left Hammond, IN on Thursday morning (the 7th) but I'll try not to get too wordy. Leaving Hammond in the morning I ran into pretty heavy traffic and lots of construction almost immediately,...

Regarding my post yesterday and my short-lived RVing career, I want to emphasize that solo RVing doesn't have to be lonely. I find that as an introvert, I need to recharge my batteries by being alone, but then I need an outlet for all the energy I...

I feel like a limp dishrag lately, and I'm having allergy or sinus problems to boot. Since I lie awake for a long time in the middle of the night, I tend to nap during the day which doesn't make for an interesting life. About 3 more days in the...

I got a notice from my air card provider that I was approaching the 5GB limit. I can't understand why they say that because a check of my usage this month shows I have used just under 4GB so far, and my next billing period begins on June 6. But a...

I went through half the day before I realized in wasn't Wednesday! This is scary and I'm too old to have time speeding up like it has been doing. According to my "get out at least once a day and drive somewhere" plan, I drove to the convenience...
