today someone hit the van and proceeded to blame it on us…. but we have had dozens of lovely people who have checked on us today just to make sure we are doing ok after a stressful encounter.
sometimes there is good in the bad.
#van got run into today#sometimes I feel like the unluckiest traveller#all the bad things happen to me….#they did a bit of a hit and run#no detail#no names or numbers#but I filed a police report so we vibing#anyway#people have checked in on us all day#and I’m so grateful for strangers#thank you#kindness#thoughts#travel#van life#unfortunate events

everything that could have possibly gone wrong, did.
#you name it#it happened#we have tried to get out of here for weeks and weeks and weeks#we tried to go Saturday#didn't make it#tried sunday#nope#we tried to get out of here this morning#we had two things that broke today#my accelerator and my fuel tank#is it even worth it#the universe is just trying to kill me#and honestly it might just work#travel#travel blog#adventure#daily blog#my thoughts#thoughts#traveling#bee and doddi#van life

not so fun news.....
i can't easily get the van registered... it's such a long and complicated process....
idk i just feel like i did so much waiting just to do more waiting and i've been so patient and so hopeful only to have to wait more and more and more and get my hopes up yet again.
another goal leaving date passed today and i still can't legally drive the van.
i can't leave in june i need to leave now....

if you want to get on the road, don't do what i did— don't buy a classic van that barely works.
but i was 16 when i bought her, and that's what we do— stupid amazing things.
#i set off in less than a week#im painting today#ill be done tomorrow hopefully#then i have finishing touches and packing and im all set#but i was thinking about it#why on earth did i buy a 40 year old car?#because im stupid#but i dont think i regret it#i mean it real isn't easy#but how many people get to say that they revamped and fixed a 40 year old car and turned it into a home#shes home#thats why i worked so hard to get her going#travel#travel blog#adventure#daily blog#my thoughts#thoughts#traveling#van life#bee and doddi

in two days i was supposed to be up and gone, i was supposed to be done with my project and on the road.... but the reality is i didn't meet a single one of my goals this month. my van is still not roadworthy, still not painted, still not got anything inside. nothing has moved forward, i'm still standing still.
