The title came yesterday which is a big relief to us. It was a bummer I was wrong on the day it arrived, so it really would’ve been sad if I was more than just a day off. It’s a relief to us because we wanted to take the RV to the swap meet rather than the truck and because there’s now nothing holding us back here other than the stuff we want to sell and get whatever we can for. If we really wanted to, though, we could get a dumpster out here, dump it all, and hit the road the next day. However, the car and the furniture should give us an additional $500 or so that we could always use.

We also got our new address which looks like it could be an apartment. It’s not a PO Box. It’s just an address with a box number, and us forwarding our mail from here is a separate thing. Meaning, we already paid 6 months for the box so anyone can write to us at that address right now. We just won’t get it till we get there. What’s cool about it is that you can call ahead and not only find out if you have any mail but what that mail is, so you don’t end up wasting a trip for nothing. Also, UPS and FedEx deliver there, unlike with PO boxes.

Not that I wouldn’t have trusted Miss Perfect, but I’m glad we could do it this way. It’ll make it easier on everyone.

So the next 8 days are going to be super busy! The windshield’s getting replaced today, and the dumpster will probably be delivered on Monday. We’ll probably do the swap meet on both Saturday and Sunday, though only for a few hours at a time. Just like last time, we’ll probably leave around noon when it starts dying down. We’ll just remember the sunscreen first! Any leftover incense that doesn’t sell will be left here in the hopes of the newcomers delving into it, liking it, and then going to our store which is listed on the labels.

I may cut my hair to make things easier until we get a real bath built. Because it’s so damn thick, not having much water pressure will make it hard to wash. It’s already back down to the middle of my upper arm when pulled straight. It grows like weeds!

While it’s easy for me to say I’m not moving again after moving a million times in the last two decades, Tom brought up an interesting possibility. Assuming he likes building houses, we could be set for life as far as never having to work for others again if we build and sell houses. For him not to have a boss who could fire him or lay him off would be wonderful. I’m not saying we’ll do this, but it may be worth it if it’s going to ultimately lead us further away from the city and onto a 40-acre lot we can afford to fence and to where I can get almost any doll I wanted the instant I saw it and decided I wanted it. We’ll just have to see how things go.

I’ll be sending my last letter from here to Mary on Monday, giving her the new address at which time I’ll tell her to start using it. I’m glad there are no 4s in it as I really believe that 4 is the evilest number in the universe!
