original date June 18, 2026. I started daily documentation of my adventure on another platform but wish to bring it over to Hive. Since I am only about a week behind, I will be back posting every 12 hours until I am caught up. If I was any more behind, I would scrap it; but my OCD is telling me that I need the whole chronology on here
First and foremost, I take back the kudos I gave the SyFy channel. Since the first two hammers they showed, they’ve only played Harry Potter. Not even all the movies either; just like the same 3 over and over and out of order.
Anyways. I did it. I bought the van I wanted.
I’m still in awe over how spontaneous and fast the last 36 hours happened. I forced myself to give in to the desire of selling my Subaru and getting a rig not but two nights ago. Yesterday morning I woke up in my car, and here a mere day later I sold said car and bought a new “house”.
I am so, so sad to see the Subaru go but this is going to be a huge game changer for me. The most stressful part of abandoning my apartment and setting out on the road was the constant mental gymnastics as to how to make it work in my little car. It probably would’ve been fine aside from the fact that I constantly need a considerable amount of various hobby gear(skateboard, snowboard, bike, art supplies… etc).
But I know I made the right choice. I woke up this morning and drank an unhealthy amount of coffee, and headed out for the 8 mile walk to look at the van. It turned into 10, because as my phone was nearing death and unsure of how I would pay should I want to take it with me, I had to make a last minute detour to the bank to withdraw the cash.
I immediately fell in love with the big bastard. Even more so when I took it for a test drive. It handled incredibly smoothly and all around drove like a champ for a van thats over 30 years old. Halfway through the drive i just told the (very cool) seller “imma be straight up with you I’ll take it” during an entirely different conversation and handed him the cash as soon as we parked.
I have a lot of work to put into it and it’s going to be a constant project but that very much excites me. Unfortunately I have to spend another night in the inn due to check out times but hey tomato potato. Tomorrow van and I hit the road again, and start working towards our next goal.
Happy breathing everybody. Much love
