Double, full rainbow. Too long, don't want to read: I'm leaving Oregon and heading east. I've been thinking a lot about what ReWilding Me means to me (this is a group on Facebook that I started a while ago) and some of it is letting go of the societal expectations. Especially the ones that don't… Continue reading Decisions…

Postponed…
We knew that it was a strong possibility, but still held onto the hope that the virus would be under control by now. Instead, the numbers of new cases are rising each day and it's becoming more and more dangerous to leave the house. The states between Ohio and Colorado also have "shelter in place"… Continue reading Postponed…
Deep breaths…
Ofelia is so cute. It's funny how I can think of so many things to write about and when I finally sit in front of this page it all flies out of my head. I can give some updates, though. Therapy has been postponed. This particular therapist wasn't helping me. I wasn't trying to end… Continue reading Deep breaths…
Depth and more…
First, there is a super special announcement in the Nest! I'm going to be a Nana this summer! My daughter (who turned 22 today) is expecting her first child. She & her husband haven't been specifically trying, but they stopped avoiding pregnancy (with the implant) in June of this year. Yes, there will certainly be… Continue reading Depth and more…
Not yet settled
I have arrived in Ohio! The drive on Monday was a little unnerving since there were a few strong gusts and lots of blowing snow, but it's over now. Serephina and Khaleesi handled the trip well enough, but Ofelia... well, she didn't do so well. She ended up wetting my bed at one point and… Continue reading Not yet settled
Spring at last…
Each morning I look out my bedroom window at the flowers and am amazed at the new ones that have come out, seemingly overnight. I'd forgotten how lovely western North Carolina can be when spring finally appears. Pinks, purples, yellows, whites, and even a few reds - all bursting open as if to remind us… Continue reading Spring at last…
The little things…
A couple years ago, I was mentioning how I knew that this wouldn't be all sunshine & sparkles. I was trying to be realistic about how not-easy it would be to live in a tiny space and deal with traveling every couple weeks. I knew that it wouldn't be a piece of cake, especially since… Continue reading The little things…
Bumps & Bruises
Yep, real bruises. It seems that I've been covered with them since starting this project, but I knew it was all part of the deal. Now, as I look at some of them, wondering how long they will take to go away (sometimes several weeks), I can't help but smile at the fact that I… Continue reading Bumps & Bruises
Day Four
Well, it's official! I'm apartment-free and all my belongings are in the RV. I still have a mess in here and there are still things that need to be organized and put away, but there is time for that all. Since the person didn't show up for the propane tank, I went down the list… Continue reading Day Four
Where did the time go?
As I struggle to keep my eyes open tonight I remind myself that I've made a lot of progress. I have all the surfaces painted, the roof is sealed and the a/c shroud is back in place, the generator is gone, and someone is coming to get the propane tank this weekend. Packing up my… Continue reading Where did the time go?
