Potential New Beginnings

It's evening and a bit earlier then when I wrote yesterday so I am more cognizant for writing.  

It's me, Goliath and my cat, O' Malley, on the couch.  What will I do without a couch?  If all goes as planned I don't think there will be room for a couch in my new abode but maybe there will be room for a love seat.  There are couches in the abode but not sure if Goliath and O' Malley will be able to hang out there with me, especially O' Malley because there is already a cat living there.  

My new abode is a community housing coop and there are at least twenty people already living there.  I have lived in a dorm before- that's the closest comparison I have in this life to the cooperative living.  We'll cook together and we each have chores assigned to us on a weekly basis that is decided on during the weekly house meeting.  I still need to be approved to live there and might still need to meet everyone again (for the third time) so we'll see. 

I am wishing you wellness, happiness and soul nourishment.

I'm sitting in a North Carolina' McDonald's, close to Little Switzerland.  I've never been to Little Switzerland but it sounds interesting.   I was up on Roan Mountain last night.  I had a fire which helped to cook my mac and cheese and keep me warm.  It was a beast of a fire in that I got warm just keeping it going.  But once it was well underway it turned into a nice, slow-burning bed of coals. Yes, it was a cold night.  Fortunately I had my goose-down leaking bag from my 2003 AT thru-hike.  I do not think it is as warm as it used to be but with a double upper layer on and a single lower layer I stayed pretty warm.  My pillow which was a bag filled with rain pants and a quick drying towel was inadequate; so was my sleeping pad- a eighth of an inch pad that is only meant to go under a blow-up pad to keep from popping (My blow up popped a long time ago.)  I tossed and turned but finally fell into a long sleep.  The morning sun coming through my tarp tent woke me up.  I

Hop One Foot

 Hello friends.  I think of all the great writers from the past encouraging me on.   I have this foot problem again.  A weak ankle; an ankle that is sore from driving which has finally succumbed to the ultimate slow down- broke, fractured.  Can't put weight on- we'll, it has only been two days and I can actually put a little weight on it. It happened when I was on a beam about 18 inches off the ground.  I was looking for my dogs and I kind-of tilted to one side, lost my balance, jumped and landed with my right foot twisting.  It hurt and I was down for the count.  It took about 1000 counts for me to actually get up and make my way to the car.   So my planned hiking trip turned into a camping trip which was really quite nice!   Fortunately, I can drive and still make money.  There is an interesting thing about making money and competitors.  Often my neighbor will kind-of brag about his day driving for Uber.  I drive for Lyft and he makes it seem like he's making more money t

Tree Snap

Today, the sky was one black patterned wall of Strom, a almost tornado.  Eighty-five mile per hour wind gusts.  Lots of rain too.  There was a huge snap during the strom.  More like a pop or boom.  During my walk I saw that the pop was a tree that had fallen over.  Pretty sure not lightening, just wind and water and time for the tree to go.   Tomorrow I will work helping to saw up and remove fallen trees.
