365 Days...

It's hard to believe that 365 days from now I am suppose to retire and I'm not ready.  Don't get me wrong, I'm ready to retire I'm just not ready, as in my house is not ready, my bills are not paid down enough, I'm just not ready to go out on the road full-time.  When I started with this idea, it was over a 1000 days ago and seemed so far away, where has the time gone? 

I am so ready to get out of here, but at this time our leave time is going to have to be pushed back, how far back, I don't know.  Trying to find the right trailer, gas prices, finding the right truck, on and on things just seem to be getting in the way.  Lots of things depend on our youngest daughter.  If she makes it into Law School, which Law School, if it is here in Norman, we are a stones throw from the OU Law Barn. It would be stupid for her to incur the expense of living somewhere else. She could have our house and rent it out to 3 or 4 other people. Just so many ifs at this time.  So we wait and see and continue to de-clutter. 

We get a lot of paper boxes here at work and I have been bringing them home. Dave asked me "why"?   I replied that I was starting to pack into them the things I wanted to put in the trailer once we get it, then everything else can go when we have our estate sale. That means clothes, towels, CD's, Kitchen items, I have so much kitchen stuff, I can pack up what I want to take and still have a complete kitchen in which to cook until we leave. 

I have decided to start buying some of the items that we will need out on the road, tire pressure sensors, a tom tom, telescope, slowly of course, as I can afford it. 

I admire people who just up and get rid of everything. But I'm sure their debt is not as large as ours, everyone keeps saying get out of debt before you get out on the road.  At that rate that will 4 more years. Ugh!  I just want to leave now.  I guess Dave will just have to win the lottery. 

See you out there when we get out there.
