today someone hit the van and proceeded to blame it on us…. but we have had dozens of lovely people who have checked on us today just to make sure we are doing ok after a stressful encounter.

sometimes there is good in the bad.

[beeanddoddi]

everything that could have possibly gone wrong, did.

[beeanddoddi]

i have missed every single deadline i've given myself.

[beeanddoddi]

look look! she's all brand new and painted!

[beeanddoddi]

not so fun news.....

i can't easily get the van registered... it's such a long and complicated process....

idk i just feel like i did so much waiting just to do more waiting and i've been so patient and so hopeful only to have to wait more and more and more and get my hopes up yet again.

another goal leaving date passed today and i still can't legally drive the van.

i can't leave in june i need to leave now....

if you want to get on the road, don't do what i did— don't buy a classic van that barely works.

but i was 16 when i bought her, and that's what we do— stupid amazing things.

we have to fix the compliance plate (again....) but then the van is going for its roadworthy hopefully for the final time!? maybe I'll be driving her by the end of the day?!

[beeanddoddi]

she's thinking about not coming with me.....

I'm alone again....

another let down in a chain of disappointment....

I always said i'd go alone if i have to....

but can i go alone?

[beeanddoddi]

just another day of things never going to plan... disappointment after disappointment...

[beeanddoddi]

[beeanddoddi]

everything takes so much longer when i do it... i guess that's what comes with inexperience...

[beeanddoddi]

i am beyond lucky for the family i have been given.

in two days i was supposed to be up and gone, i was supposed to be done with my project and on the road.... but the reality is i didn't meet a single one of my goals this month. my van is still not roadworthy, still not painted, still not got anything inside. nothing has moved forward, i'm still standing still.
