I am just going to sit here a moment and let you know. I was on a bus yesterday!!!!
I’ll let that sink in a moment. It’s pretty momentous for me and now I am going back to sleep as frankly I’m totally shattered. I’ll be awake again in another 20 minutes to start my day

” I was on a bus yesterday!!!!”
Of course you was. Coz you too gurly to have a drivers licence. So you must bugger others to care for your transport needs. Be that frens, family, taxi drivers or public transport, you’re always co-dependent, not your own agent. 😦

Not driving is nothing about being girly, I know how to drive. I prefer buses and on top of that I don’t have the monies to pay for maintenance if a car or to even buy one. Plus it’s healthier to walk and grab a hybrid bus.

Fuk healthy! 😦 Not being able to go wherever you want, whenever you fancy, robs you of a lot of self-determination and agency … AND FUN!!! Using my own surfboards, boats. mofas, mopeds, mockicks, light and heavy motorcycles, cars, trucks and RVs and vans is what I’m living for. A day not spent on the road is a wasted day!

BTW, even in my most broke times, I always made sure I had a motorized vehicle to fall back on and just enough cash to pay insurance and taxes and put some fuel in my tank. Coz that’s what life is all about. Not family, frens or other hoomans but plowing your way, your path. You just can’t do that in a metro bus.

Getting taken for a ride is not a good life! I wanna stop and take a pee break on my own terms, and I wanna be able to spontaniously change my plans, without any concern about others. Coz buses and trains only travel on the beaten path, they never venture into the unknown – but that’s where you’ll find me.

Fuk thoughts, they are only happening in the brain = boring. I wanna disappear physically, cross water or sand deserts, circumnavigate continents, follow a river from spring to mouth. That’s when life truly happens.

Head full of amazing adventures? Again, that’s just the head. A huge problem with us females; we think and overthink things instead of showing agency and actually live our lives.

I once started writing a huge fat sci-fi trilogy hat I never finished. It was kinda fun doing it but it was not my adventures but the adventures of made-up characters. Needless to say my real life was so much awsomerer, particularly after I stopped wasting my time with writing about other people’s lives.
For me, all this shitty stuff, playing in SL, writing a blog, is nothing but a weak wannabe replacement for my real life that’s passing me by somewhere out there.
Whine whine moan moan … I know I’m a deeply unhappy person. But I can’t just pack my stuff, sell the house and go full nomad, can’t even go for a weekend … coz reasons. 😐

Oh I started writing children’s books. Blogging is a means to offload thoughts if you want to. Not here’s a dress, but the dress etc. SL is not 24/7 for me. Today I’ve been out on my balcony enjoying some morning sunshine and chilling and chatting with my neighbours who are more or less doing the same. It’s such a beautiful day,
I’ve had to come in now as I’m light sensitive due to my medications which is my one huge grievance as I now burn with too much. And when I say burn it’s I’m a Olivey skin usually but these days I’m like 30 minutes start to worry
Btw there’s nothing weak wannabe replacement in anything you do if you find enjoyment in doing it.
So less of that and more of enjoying the things you can do. Life’s way to short to contemplate that shite x

“Oh I started writing children’s books”
Eeeeks! mean it’s not as simple as reading children’s books but sounds super duper boring. Why would I write books for people I don’t wanna have anything to do with?
“SL is not 24/7 for me.”
Neither for me. Didn’t log in since more than a month now. Downgraded my acc and … generally don’t feel like doing anything in SL anymore.
“It’s such a beautiful day,”
What’s so beautiful about chilling and chatting with neighbours? I usually try to avoid contact with people and I hate spending time on my terrace/garden. Out there is a whole green and brown and blue world, why would I restrict myself to the small confinement of my neighbourhood?
“Btw there’s nothing weak wannabe replacement in anything you do if you find enjoyment in doing it.”
But I don’t. Just because I’m awesome at it doesn’t mean I’m meant to do it. I only did it to have something to do while I wait for my life to start.

I’m not too fond of ppl in general and really afraid of children. 😮
You know I’m someone who just starts with whatever tickles my fancy. No prob. But I can’t just leave and venture into the great unknown since I’m the caretaker of my disabled hubby, so kinda permanently grounded. We’ll start a Namibia roadtrip, hopefully soon … but it’s still not the same. With hubby we need a sticks n stones place to sleep every night, while I much prefer to travel alone and without all the complications and organisation.

I understand that. Can you rent a motor home adapted for him or is it more difficult.
Complications and organisation are too common nowadays but never let it stop you. Namibia road trip sounds fabulous. Even if you have to organise it. Many people have never left their own backyards. I know so many people in the U.K. who are in awe of my past life as my family was pretty nomadic and we lived so many places. One lady has never even left kent!!! She is 60. Some here only go as far as beaches nearby.
That saddens me as the world is a huge place with so many interesting people and beautiful sights.
Want a secret? I don’t particularly like people much either. Just those I’m close too. Family and very close friends. I ditched the acquaintances in covid and my time is now spent with people who really matter. Not wasting money on stupid stuff either.
So when you head in your road trip that’s the perfect time to share your travels in your blog ❤️

“rent a motor home adapted”
See? That’s already a problem I’m not too fond of, right away. And no, even if those motorhomes do exist, they are custom-made and very expensive. Also we wanna do the trip in Oubaas, as proof of concept and test run for greater adventures. Hubby in a motor home is a problem in itself. There’s not enough space to maneuver the wheely into a good position next to the bunk for the transition into/out of the chair. We’re factually far better off in hotel/motel/backpacker’s place than in a small van. But those places are not necessarily anywhere near the area we wanna overnight in.
That lady in Kent is a sad example, yes. But I guess she never had the drive, never felt the wanderlust. So there’s that.
And the blog? Isn’t such a trip the perfect time to unplug and live in the moment rather than doing it all just for some YT vids and blog entries? We just spent 3 weeks in Germany and I kept the number of blogposts to the bare minimum. Was refreshing. 🙂

Ahhh so wheel chair. Ok scrap that suggestion . Well I try .
I love blogging. But then I’m pretty much a sharing person. Honestly I’d love a peek when you travel. It’s like living life vicariously through others at the same time you are living your own. Have a great weekend x

Expensive and clueless help. Germany and South Africa have no social insurance treaty as we have with most €uropean countries. SA’s got no social insurance at all, so we gotta pay for everything out of pocket. 😮 And I will need more than a weekend, guess 4 weeks at least.
My very rough plan: Start at Cape of Good Hope – work way up SA’s westcoast – cross into Nam at Alexander Bay – onwards to Lüderitz – Sossusvlei – Walfis Bay – Swakopmund – Wlotzkasbaken – Hentiesbaai – Cape Cross – Toscanini Oil Rig – Torra Bay – Skeleton Coast – Terrace Bay – Etosha National Park – flee from tourists eastwards along Angola border – then slowly drive back south thru mountain area – cross into Botswana at some point – then cross into SA’s Richtersveld – slowly drive back South – check Cape Agulhas – home. Yeah, I know, van dwellers shouldn’t make plans, particularly when travelling in a 56 years old van. 😮
LOL
