Did Not Go In Today

Yes...Speedy stayed home today....Oh shame Speedy. I really do have an earache. Last weekend Sherri and I helped Jennifer clean her pool and do all the chemical stuff you have to do to make it safe to swim in. In doing so I got water in my ear and that is all it takes for a sissy like me to get an ear infection! OK I knew better... but it was for the g-kids....you know the old story.

Anyway... here I set at home and it would not be so bad but I am all alone with nothing to do but set here on the computer and look at all the places I would love to be. Now that is not as fun as being there. It does past the time, however so I will continue to do that as soon as I finish this post. Jesse of http://kram-a-lotinn.blogspot.com/// scolded me the other day for neglecting my journal for two days so I am driven now to keep up with the days for fear of more scolding!

Actually I will say... I have had the time to work on my 2009 Budget. All I have left to do is run it by the CEO of Pitman Enterprises and get the STAMP OF APPROVAL. I will give you all one guess who the CEO is here. She would be in Texarkana if that gives you any help in guessing who I am talking about. To stay near the same subject I will tell you that this budget I have created is in two parts. The first part will cover the Traveling Budget. This budget will consist of items Fixed and Broken to reflect the traveling aspect of fulltiming. The second will cover the Stationary Budget and it's Fixed and Broken details.

Our Fixed items will be items that never change in the budget whether you are traveling or not.
The Broken items are those that change all the time especially if you are in your home base. I will cover this more when I get the OK on the spreadsheet so you can have a visual.

Anyway as I look at the budget I have created I am more optimistic about the amount of things we will be able to do even in today's economic downfall. I feel that being a fulltimer in these days could be compared to being broke before the Stock Market crash that caused the Great Depression. Did it affect those folks?? If your broke you can't go down from there....only up. So we still have homes that are paid for and transportation and worse come to worse we could get a job and make some extra money if the need called for it. Better yet you can work for Rent... can't do that in a stix and brix for sure.

So Sherri is in Texarkana and she is making money today for diesel tomorrow. I am so proud of my little bread winner. She is doing her share to make this adventure come true here in about 6 months. Whoa...6 months....time is going forward get ready for that big sucking sound when we break free from this place. Like a cork out of a bottle we will hit the road and start our dream.

I read in the forum today people asking the question...What do you do to get ready to Fulltime. You know I don't know that there is a fixed answer to that question. I think everyone has their own set of circumstances that make them have to do certain things to get ready. If you can find a person that is in the same set of circumstances that you are in then you have a plan to follow....otherwise you are on your own. Just thought I would through that in.

Wish I had some pictures to add today. I just can't think of any that I have that go along with the dribble that I am spewing now??? Oh well maybe they will come to me
Somewhere in Time.
