    Kates baking bread and I’m making enough pizza dough to start a pizzeria. It’s nice to have an actual kitchen again!

    Making this cabin feel more at home with a few inexpensive tweaks and cannibalizing from our now broken camper. The cabin smells like bread, and there’s some nice slow jazz playing from the TV.

    We’re displaced, but refuse to accept that this means we can’t feel at home.

    If you’re full timing in a camper, or boat, or whatever, drop what you’re doing and review your insurance policy. Learn about options related to a loss of use rider – because if your camper is out of commission for several weeks, you’re gonna be paying extra to live in a cabin or something in the meantime.

    Learn from my mistake!

    So…I think this might be how we exit out of full-timing. We were already poising ourselves to move into a house this Summer, but I think with my primary home, at best, being in a repair shop for several months, that we’re probably going to consider this a forced opportunity to exit. I really didn’t think we would be leaving like this, eesh.

    It’s been kinda fun to watch my youngest experience living in a house. He’s 4, and was an infant when we moved into the camper, so he has no idea what it’s like to live in a house.

    I’ve been on the phone for 6 hours now, calling every person you can imagine related to this camper. So tired. ????

    The guy who wrecked my camper is not answering his calls, and it’s slowing down the claims process. I’m working on figuring out how to navigate that with calls to various police stations, and the insurance agency. Sigh.

    When my life gets crazy like this, I hug Pomodoro tighter than you can imagine. It’s the only thing that keeps me on the rails sometimes. So many little, but important, things to do…

  • Alex Standiford

    I had to literally initiate a 3-way call between the logistics company’s claims department and the logistics company support rep because they still hadn’t filed the actual claim. They say they did, but apparently the insurance company “never received it”. Prior to this 3-way call, the company was telling me their insurance company said they’ll follow up “sometime later this week”.

    Unbelievable.

    Y’ALL.

    Residential ovens are ABSOLUTELY HUGE.
