So, I was standing by the pond with all my blog entries in my hand and this HUGE fish came up and ate all of them!!

I think I'm about to be bounced from the blogosphere for tardy posts. Number one, I'm basically lazy and number two, I'm kind of bored with my life the last couple months. It's not the bad kind of boredom where you just want to scratch your eyeballs out so you won't have to look at the same old stuff every day, it's the one-day-blends-into-the-next-day kind of boredom where you aren't miserable but you can't really remember anything that was different today from yesterday or last Thursday.

We've gotten a lot done, which rather surprises me since I can't seem to remember doing anything. We're almost ready to leave though, one house sold, another refinanced, one pond fixed, another almost done, lots of random stuff purchased, new transmission in the RV, new seal on the RV roof, yadda yadda yadda.

Mimi and I have lived pretty much full time in this RV for 6 years. That's a long time in about 200 sq ft. I loved it, I still love traveling in it but I really don't like living in it in one spot for long periods.

I've always thought that there are many types of full time RVers, one of which I call the Travelers. We are Travelers, we like a smaller RV than most, we like to move often and we love heading down a new road. What I don't like is sitting still with no new roads and no room to spread out and double all that if you need to keep the RV closed up because it is hot or cold outside. When I can leave the door and windows open and spend most of my time outside, the small space inside doesn't bother me. When I am off every day looking at new things or finding my way around a new place, the small size doesn't bother me. But when everything is closed up tight to either keep the heat in or keep the heat out, and every day I look out on the same view - no matter how wonderful it is - then the small space starts to really bug me.

I feel almost like a traitor to even write this. You know how you get that sense of belonging when you are a part of a small group? Fulltime RVers are a pretty small portion of the population. The ones who do it in an RV this size are an even smaller group and the ones who don't just drive to one place and stay there most of the year are yet a smaller group. I'm abandoning my group... that I'm even thinking about this shows you how bored I've gotten. Anyway, the bottom line is that I have gone from unsure about living in a house again to really excited about living in a house again. I am ready world! Sorry, my fellow small-rig, traveling, fulltimers but I am so ready to bail out. I want all the kitchen toys I do without now, I want a big, comfy couch, I want a garden of my own, I want a cat.
