So READY to move this life and our camp indoors. A giant hug to the donations that came through to help us nearly reach that target for indoor living again.
While that was three weeks ago plus the space was rented a hand full of days later, we used those funds to at least bring Clove and I out of the car and into the tent where there was a shower, toilet, and horizontal sleeping for me; 10 nights of camping when the shoulder season reached a much more doable $23 dollars per night. The limit is 10 nights so we are back in the car.
I began a sewing gig that has offered 100 dollars so far. We will continue on with their studio to at least have some gas and cat food cash. I had a third interview with an artist business and they relayed the timeline to me by the end of the year. Another gig to help with a local garden will give another couple hundred per week beginning mid-October.
We are following all breadcrumbs, doing our absolute best to stay warm at night, love as much as possible, and untangle all connections for work and living indoors. I made a visit to a private room, kitchenette, and bath today. The house is cat friendly, vegan, and in walking distance to the sewing shop. The gorgeous woman renting it out is asking first, last, and deposit that equals $3000 to move in immediately. I did not let her know that I do not have it, and the hope or dream lingered as we smiled and parted ways laughing...
she was a hoot, kind, and called me beloved.
