So, today is a big day in my way of living. For a little over a month, I have been living in a huge dirt room with just a bed, a table, and a light bulb. Today is the day I got 4 plugs in my room. That’s like living the real high life; you don’t even know! I got to plug everything I could imagine and enjoyed every second of it. I’m actually still enjoying it! If you know me, you know that I looove electronics. I have an unhealthy attachment to most of my electronic devices and this one month or so has been a true struggle. Now that it’s all over, I think that I will actually buy some speakers and do it up like I used to back in the day. This is what is scary but supposed to be good – when you start feeling comfortable in such different and once unfamiliar situations. I am still in a dirt room (where I bucket bathe in so it becomes a muddy room), a table, a light bulb, and now 4 plugs and this does not seem at all uncomfortable. I still don’t have a window and sometimes use my pee bucket at night or in rainy days (it rains a lot here) but that doesn’t make me feel out of place. I feel quite comfortable having the little amenities that I do and I am not bothered easily by slightly gross things (like finding 2 tarantulas in the last weeks IN my room). I often wonder if this is because I know this life isn’t permanent. It reminds me of my old job where I knew I was only there until I graduated college. Although some things bothered me, they never REALLY got to me because it never felt like I’d be there forever. When I think about it now, I was there for a shit load of years and I grew super comfortable – Could it be because I wasn’t worried about permanency? I think I hate permanency; is that a problem? I would like certain people to be a permanent part of my life; does that count for anything?
This was just another Barbara-thought filled with a semi- update on life events…
As always, looooooove and miss everyone greatly!
p.s. Remember yoyos? Well, it has been the best thing I have “found” in someone’s room. I am easily entertained and “walking the dog” does it for me. YAY! Go YOMEGA!!!
