By this time tomorrow we hope our Rental property will be SOLD! This is one of the major steps in us going Full Time! And 3 days from now we’ll be on our way to pick up our new Fifth Wheel!
This is basically all we talk about!
Also this is my last week working from home. All staff are supposed to be back in the office on May 3rd. I have loved working from home at least every other week and for longer periods at a time, like during the Holidays last year. At home, I feel like I get more done – I’m more focused. My home co-workers (the Pups!) don’t interrupt me like people at the office! And lets be honest, I don’t interrupt others and talk as much either! Don’t get me wrong, I love visiting with co-workers at the office since we haven’t seen each other for such long periods but I also didn’t think working at home would be as easy as it has been.
I’ve started exploring jobs for when we go Full Time! Unfortunately my firm does not support me working remote for an extended period of time. I completely understand, but really wish I could stay with my group – been there over three years and I feel like a real asset to them. There are certain things that need to be done in the office and I would have to farm out those duties to another LAA (Legal Administrative Assistant) possibly causing more pressure on co-workers. Maybe someday my firm will be totally remote, but not yet.
I’m excited to try something new – I’ve been in my line of work for almost 18 years! Nothing like Garland’s track record of Business Intelligence work but not shabby either.
So, this past week we’ve purchased a few things for the new camper. We’re trying not to go crazy, but we feel there are a few things we definitely need, based on our camping experience and of course watching YouTube. We needed new sheets, since THANK GOD – our bed is going to be bigger than our current camper’s (short Queen size – remember G’s feet hung off the end on our last trip)! We’ve bought corner shelves for the bedroom and bathroom – you can never have enough storage! A hanging organizer for the coat closet (didn’t have one of those either in the old camper). Shoe storage that you can hang on a door, wall, etc. Folding metal dish drying rack for the kitchen sink – saw this in many new campers – no more bulky drying racks taking up too much room! G ordered a TPS system to keep us safe – monitors the truck and camper’s tire pressure. Ordered a doggy ramp for the bed. Yes, all THREE pups sleep with us! And we have fun things for the new camper too: a decorative plant (my idea) and a United States map for the outside slide – to show off where we travel! We both agree not to add a sticker to the map until we visit that state in the NEW Fifth Wheel!
This weekend, after we pick up our new home, we’re going to the same campground in Denver, where we camped with our “First” camper years ago. More on this later. Ciao!
