Changes..again

Some days I am not sure how much more I can take. But I know that I am being pushed in the right direction daily - even if it doesn't seem like it in the moment. I have been staying with some friends for the past two weeks, and their landlord told them today that I need to find a new home because he doesn't like the bus. He isn't willing to give me any time to figure things out. The colors are just too radical for people. I was trying to find a campground recently for a road trip, and was denied because the colors were too loud and the bus was too old. Not sure why it gets harder and harder to find a place to stay. My car and motorcycle still haven't sold. I looked at Craigslist again and realized why. There are hundreds upon hundreds of motorcycles (and VWs) listed on Craigslist all around Oregon right now. It is pretty scary. Not sure what to do aside from hoping and praying that they will both sell. The only way I can upgrade my bus is if my vehicles sell, and I am in need of being able to do this as soon as possible. If I could at least do the upgrades, it would be easier to find a place to stay (not relying on anyone's resources). 

Rat girl was cracking me up today. I had a container full of freshly harvested blackberries, and she randomly started snagging them while I wasn't looking. She was hiding them in places around my body..like behind my knees or around my butt. She really likes her blackberries. I think she ate about 8 of them today, so now they are all hers. :) She is seriously the sweetest rat I have ever known. My Zoey was really sweet also, but Mooshika definitely takes the cake. 

On the subject of small furry creatures, I have definitely had all I can take of this mouse situation. I haven't seen/heard anything from them for the past two weeks, and then this morning there was mouse poop all over the counter again. I started investigating further and noticed that there is a huge mouse burial ground in one of my storage chests, under some things I never move. Apparently one of the mice was having many, many babies, and couldn't feed them because there is no food for them on the bus. This is why I figured they were gone in the first place, but I guess they have just been really quiet and hidden. :( I am ready to just rip all of them hidden areas apart and reconstruct everything to where it is absolutely mouse proof - and this can be done. It just wasn't something that I thought of when making upgrades. Hoping that the RV park will let me stay with them for a week so that I can use their wood working room to make all of the changes that I can make in a short period of time. One of the things I need to do will take some guys that can rip apart my whole kitchen, so that I can rebuild it so mice can't sneak through. Then I have to do that with the bed and everything. The only thing I am not so sure of is going back to the place that started all of these problems with mice in the first place, but I am not sure where else would be this accessible. So many things to figure out. 

I get to see Bernard tomorrow! At least I hope so. I didn't call Bill to make a definite plan today because I was distracted by the whole not knowing where to go or how to move all of my vehicles situation. Crossing my fingers that I get to go over still. :) I miss Bernard! 

It is actually kind of funny that all of this came up today, because I have been looking into this island up North as a place to move to. There was an ad for a RV parking space there for a really cheap price (shaded with deck and covered porch), all bills included. It is a beautiful, beautiful place with a lot of hippies on the island. That and it doesn't get too terribly cold at all, or too terribly hot either. Seems like a dream! Plus there are orcas, and I have loved orcas since I was a little kid. I have never seen one in person, but I feel that this place would make that happen. I am sure that I could find work there, being that it is a very touristy town (people spend a lot of money there). At the very least, I could sell all of my necklaces there and trade garden work for food. A lot of signs have been pointing to this place over the past couple of weeks. It would definitely be interesting if it came through! The RV spot is only a 5 minute walk to the ocean. The island is fully bike-able as well! No need for a car. :) Crossing my fingers that I hear back about it. It would be a nice transition from all of this right now.
