Is chinese food bad for you?

I am sooo tired. Busy with packing and runs to Goodwill. We have a dumpster to fill with yard debris and all my 'homestead' paraphernalia. I think I ate too much chinese food and now my arse is dragging.

Probably not a good decision. It's been a long time since I've had any and I've been watching my calories and exercising everyday. I didn't get on my bike yesterday and have not yet today. In fact, I think I will after this entry. I bet I'll feel better.

The problem of too much stuff continues. I imagine having a free rummage sale on the road but that's absurd. Kind of funny but also, I like the idea of giving the things I'm not ready to part with to others.

Gosh, I'm so tired. It's hard to keep writing.

Oh, I remember what i wanted to talk about. I am not a minimalist and I'm feeling some shame about that. The nomads I follow are basically minimalists. If you can live in a van you are a minimalist. I thought about a van but I want to craft and sew. I want to be able to ride my stationary bike and my rowing machine.
Those parameters excluded a van and a class C. I liked the idea of a class C because I could decide to drive away if I encountered trouble but I guess I not that afraid. I chose to buy a truck and trailer so I could transport my exercise equipment in the truck.

I'm making decisions without the benefit of experience and I'm kind of wondering what veteran nomads would think. I have watched a lot of how-to videos and read a couple books about nomad life. For example my solar plans and my decision to take so much.

Since when do I care what others think? Since always! I want to be independent and make my own way but I seek approval of others. Naturally; I am human and sociable. I like my time alone but I am not a recluse.

So, my friends, I'm going to do my best. And that will have to do.

Oh, I almost forgot. I made my reservations for a meetup event at Rice Ranch in Quartzsite AZ. I'm so excited for my first social event and to meet Debra Dickinson. She is hosting the event and has become a friend I haven't met yet. Any Warrior of Light friends who might be reading this will understand that concept. It is close to twenty years since we met 'offline' in Mexico.

Talk again tomorrow.

At Susanville Walmart for the night and I’m torn

At my current rate I’m not making it to Quartzsite until late Saturday or early Sunday. I have to run a payroll tomorrow and could get that ...
