Day 10 of Unemployment

I think my poor car feels neglected. I was planning on taking her for a spin tomorrow night when we went house looking, but that has been officially been canceled. I forgot how fun house shopping is, especially when it isn't my money. Dreaming of a pool, my own bathroom, and having visitors come over pretty much the highlight of my time these days. Today nothing extraordinary happened... except for two visits with good friends. The first happened a little after lunch when I got to talk to a great friend of mine on the phone!! It was great hearing your voice even if it was only for a brief moment. I miss ya! The second was a wonderful visit from the Ms. Rebecca Parker. I only get about three hours of human interaction a day so your visit was wonderful. Of course I looked and smelled a wreck because I had just gotten off the trail, but it isn't like I get all dressed up these days.

I have decided that living here is like being a part of an unreached people group. Occasionally outsiders come in to try and bring news of the outer world, but not often. Of course I still have my cell phone which acts as my carrier pigeon since my real carrier pigeon was mistaken for a dove and shot. The Internet is still in the stone ages and is dial up. We don't use cars, sometimes grow our own food, and worship our animals. The only plus is we have Direct TV but it is broken... Yes I think I have become part of a tribe. I wonder if this makes me a minority now...
