Spring has Sprung -- A Change is Comin'

For much of the past 5 five months I have felt like my head was spinning. Not in the sense that I am dizzy (tho there are probably some that might argue that). But rather in being over-whelmed with things; like I'm missing or forgetting something.

My world changed forever on Dec 10 when my father was admitted to the hospital. We buried him less than six weeks later. Shortly after which my mother moved from her 3,000+ sqft house in GA to a 900 sqft beach cottage in FL. My mother now lives next door to me. I was fortunate to be able to maintain my business (for the most part) during all of this.

But it has taken a toll on my mental self. And I think it is time for me to get back to what I was doing before that made me happy -- Travelling the USA. Do not read this the wrong way, tho! I have no regrets over my choices these past months. NONE of them! (okay, maybe one) When my mother called me that Friday afternoon to tell me dad was going in the hospital, there was never a question what I NEEDED to do. I would do nothing different now in retrospect.

But I feel like I have done my job. I have taken care of my parents; no different than they took care of me 50+ years ago. I now need to get back to MY thing.

That will start Tuesday. I had to get my truck worked on to make it road-worthy again. That's done. All that's left is to pack and go. I will go to IL, where my business is based, and try to add on another driver first. I will go back on the road from there. Eventually getting out to southern CA for a cousins wedding in late May. Ironically, I made this same journey last year. Deja Vu

So, since I will be back on the road again, perhaps I can find some fodder for this page again.
